In Arabic, "Mahdi" is an object adjective, meaning the one who is guided by God. The word comes from the root, “h-d-y,” which means guidance from grace and benevolence. Guidance here seems to be contrasted to misguidance, implying spiritual guidance. The word, “Mahdi,” does not appear in the [[Qur'an]], although other cognates of the word do appear therein, including two [[verse]]s in which the subject adjective of the root, “h-d-y,” which means the one who guides appear. | In Arabic, "Mahdi" is an object adjective, meaning the one who is guided by God.<ref>Ibn Manẓūr, ''Lisān al-ʿArab'', vol. 15, p. 354.</ref> The word comes from the root, “h-d-y,” which means guidance from grace and benevolence.

Throughout the history, the title, Mahdi, was used for some [[Zaydi]] Imams such as [[al-Nafs al-Zakiyya]], Yahya b. 'Umar, [[Sahib al-Fakhkh]], [[Yahya b. al-Husayn]], and so on. Some scholars of Islamic sects claim that branches of [[Zaydiyya]] consider every imam who calls people to himself and qualifies for [[imamate]] as an Imam and Mahdi. On this view, “Mahdi” is not limited a particular person. | Throughout the history, the title, Mahdi, was used for some [[Zaydi]] Imams such as [[al-Nafs al-Zakiyya]], Yahya b.
