Islamic Beliefs and observations
Antichrist is similar to the description of dajjal, who will appear as a powerful and corrupt leader and Isa
(Arabic name for Jesus Christ) will kill him in an epic war near Jerusalem.
Muslims also have expectations of the antichrist; they call him al-Masih al-Dajjal ("Messiah-Liar"). He will
defy Christ and pervert the words of the true Messiah. He will appear towards the end of this civilization.
Quite a few Muslims believe the dajjal or anti-christ will decieve people, perform "miracles," get people to join
his false religion and claim to be a prophet. He will speak beautifully and fool people.
Among the signs of the Hour will be the emergence of a beast from the
earth. It will be very strange in appearance, and be extremely huge; one
cannot even imagine what "it/he" will look like.
Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) is reported to have said, "The Hour
will not come until you see ten signs: the smoke for 40 days; the Dajjal; the Beast;
the sun rising from the West; the descent of Jesus son of Mary; Gog and
Magog; and three landslides - one in the East, one in the West, and one in
Arabia, at the end of which fire will burst forth from the direction of
Aden (Yemen) and drive people to the place of their final assembly."
