Question: is mahdi mentioned in the quran?
Answer: There is no direct reference to the Mahdi in the Quran, only in the hadith (the reports and traditions of Muhammad's teachings collected after his death). In most traditions, the Mahdi will arrive with 'Isa (the Muslimised Jesus) to defeat Al-Masih ad-Dajjal ("the false Messiah", or Antichrist).
