Al-Mahdi:
project of human fulfillment or eschatological belief?

Let me dis-cover

The figure of the Mahdi has traveled across centuries, traditions, and collective imaginations.

But today, in a time marked by spiritual, symbolic, and identity crises, one essential question arises:
What does Al-Mahdi truly represent?

Is he a coming individual? A religious myth?
An inner reality?
A universal archetype?
Or simply a projection of human longing?

This seminar offers an open exploration of this major figure — standing at the crossroads between tradition and transformation.

Let me learn more

Through a cross-reading of the Qor’an, the thought of Ibn ‘Arabi, and reflections on the contemporary uses of messianic belief, we aim to open a space for deep dialogue — free from dogma or agenda.

Topics we will explore:

  • Qor’anic verses evoking the ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm and the function of divine guidance

  • Various portrayals of the Mahdi across Islamic traditions

  • The connection between the Mahdi and Insān al-Kāmil

  • The age of Dajjāl and the rise of the ridiculous

  • The challenge of discerning meaning in a world overwhelmed by narratives
