Khalid al-Adhadh concludes his reading of Latifa al-Shaalan’s book *The Stranger: A Study of Juhaymanian Mahdism* by stressing the importance of understanding how Juhayman’s ideas spread, and the social and institutional environment that gave them influence. This, he argues, is a way to help prevent the resurgence of religious extremism. The book’s appendix includes 53 quotations from Saudi publications issued between 2003 and 2025 on the Sahwa movement and Juhayman’s influence. The author calls for integrated psychological, sociological, historical, and Islamic legal studies that bring together documents and testimonies and preserve the memory of this experience, in order to understand how the phenomenon emerged, persisted, and changed.
