| | Mahdi |
| | After Husein's death at Karbala in 680, Muhammad was defined as "Mahdi". | | | In the case of the Shi'i Mahdi many scholars have suggested that there is a clear inspiration coming from the Messiah-figure of Christianity and its ideas of a judgement day in the hands of a religious renewer. | | | The figure of Mahdi, and his mission, is not mentioned in the Koran, and there are practically nothing to be found among the reliable hadiths on him either. |

| | Al-Mukhatar claimed the caliphate on behalf of al-Hanafiya, calling him “the Mahdi, son of the legatee,” a term applied to Ali by those who believed Muhammad had appointed Ali his successor. | | | The majority of Christians and Jews are familiar with the messianic notions of their respective religions: Christians are awaiting the return of Jesus Christ, and Jews are awaiting a messiah who Christians believe Jesus was in his initial advent. | | | Interestingly, the arrival of the Mahdi is often associated with the return of Jesus. |

| | Al-Qaddal may represent many Sudanese in attributing to the Mahdi a manifold and very positive legacy: he sees the Mahdi as a symbol against foreign oppression and a symbol for national liberation, who unified the tribes of the northern Sudan under the aegis of a shared Islamic heritage. | | | The last two-thirds of the book are devoted to Muhammad Ahmad after he had declared his calling as the Mahdi. | | | Al-Qaddal repeatedly alludes to but does not truly confront the nature of Muhammad Ahmad the Sufi versus Muhammad Ahmad the Mahdi, the continuities and the breaks between the two. |
