munqidh

The term "munqidh" originates from the Arabic word meaning "savior" or "one who rescues." It is often used in religious contexts, particularly within Islamic traditions, to refer to a figure who will bring salvation or deliverance. This concept is prominent in eschatological beliefs, where the munqidh is anticipated to appear at the end of times to establish justice and peace.

Different Islamic sects and scholars may have varying interpretations of who or what the munqidh represents. Some believe it is a divinely appointed individual, while others see it as a more metaphorical force or a culmination of righteous actions. The specific attributes and role of the munqidh are detailed in various hadith and theological texts. The anticipation of the munqidh often serves as a source of hope and a call to strive for righteousness among believers.
