Mahdaviat
Mahdaviat is a religious term in Iranian Shi'a Islam meaning "belief in and efforts to prepare for the Mahdi". Believing followers of any Mahdi claimant can be referred to as Mahdawis (or Mahdavis); their belief, faith or school of thought is thus Mahdaviat (or Mahdawia(t) and similar transliterations, depending on Arabic, Persian or Urdu pronunciation).
