The prophecy of Lisan al Gaib is a cornerstone of Fremen culture, predicting the arrival of an outsider savior who will lead them to a brighter future. Translating to "the voice from the outer world," the Lisan al Gaib is also called Mahdi, meaning "the one who will lead us to paradise." This Chosen One is prophesied to improve the Fremen’s harsh desert conditions and possess the power of the Voice, a skill central to the Bene Gesserit.

Paul Atreides fulfills many criteria of the prophecy. Despite not being born a Fremen, he naturally adapts to their ways, mastering desert survival and even riding sandworms—skills beyond most outsiders. However, the prophecy was artificially planted by the Bene Gesserit to secure power over Arrakis and its valuable spice. Paul’s rise embodies both truth and manipulation, blurring the line between destiny and design.
