Muslim Mahdi and the Anti-Christ
Similarities between the Muslim Mahdi and the AntiChrist
By God's Grace I will put in a report soon (I am having the time now but unable to complete this..?)
Temporary report:
Note: Muslim Hadith use the term Dajjal (antichrist) for the true Christ and the term Isa (Jesus) for the false prophet. The characteristics of Mahdi (the last muslim ruler) is similar to our antichrist.
'Sunan Abu Dawood' and 'Sahih Muslim' are two of the 6 books considered 'Sahih' (true) or authentic by the Muslims in general.
Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Mu'minin: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Disagreement will occur at the death of a caliph and a man of the people of Medina will come flying forth to Mecca. Some of the people of Mecca will come to him, bring him out against his will and swear allegiance to him between the Corner and the Maqam. An expeditionary force will then be sent against him from Syria but will be swallowed up in the desert between Mecca and Medina. When the people see that, the eminent saints of Syria and the best people of Iraq will come to him and swear allegiance to him between the Corner and the Maqam. Then there will arise a man of Quraysh whose maternal uncles belong to Kalb and send against them an expeditionary force which will be overcome by them, and that is the expedition of Kalb. Disappointed will be the one who does not receive the booty of Kalb. He will divide the property, and will govern the people by the Sunnah of their Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and establish Islam on Earth. He will remain seven years, then die, and the Muslims will pray over him. (Book 36, Hadith 4273) Sunan Abu Dawood
He will rule 7 years just like the antichrist
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The Mahdi will be of my stock, and will have a broad forehead a prominent nose. He will fill the earth will equity and justice as it was filled with oppression and tyranny, and he will rule for seven years. (Book #36, Hadith #4272) Sunan Abu Dawood
Both the above hadiths state that the last ruler of muslims will rule for 7 years over the entire Earth as per muslim law.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews. (Book #41, Hadith #6985) Sahih Muslim
There will be a big war against the Jews.
Till now we have the muslim records that state that the muslim ruler 'Mahdi' will be a world ruler, implement muslim law which includes changing the calendar from Gregorian to Hijri (as followed in muslim nations like Saudi Arabia) They will fight against the Jews.
The Bible states that the antichrist will rule over the world for 7 years and fight against the Jews and Christians and change the 'times'. (I will put in the quotes later)
...........He would come to the people and invite them (to a wrong religion) and they would affirm their faith in him and respond to him. He would then give command to the sky and there would be rainfall upon the earth and it would grow crops. Then in the evening, their posturing animals would come to them with their humps very high and their udders full of milk and their flanks stretched. He would then come to another people and invite them. But they would reject him and he would go away from them and there would be drought for them and nothing would be left with them in the form of wealth. He would then walk through the waste, land and say to it: Bring forth your treasures, and the treasures would come out and collect (themselves) before him like the swarm of bees. He would then call a person brimming with youth and strike him with the sword and cut him into two pieces and (make these pieces lie at a distance which is generally) between the archer and his target. He would then call (that young man) and he will come forward laughing with his face gleaming (with happiness)..... (Book 41, Hadith 6985) Sahih Muslim
(Please note the rest of the hadith sound similar to parts of Bible)
As you see it is stated that the enemy of muslims (the muslim version of antichrist) will give rain to those who come to him and it will not rain in the areas which are against Him. This is exactly what God does as stated in Isaiah.
.........The Dajjal (the muslim version of antichrist) would appear in my Ummah and he would stay (in the world) for forty-I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years....... (Book 41, Hadith 7023) Sahih Muslim
Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace_be_upon_him). He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist (the true prophet of God) and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him.
(Book 37, Hadith 4310) Sunan Abu Dawood
The muslim Isa (the Christian false prophet) will rule the Earth for 40 years. Non muslims are given 3 options in war: to become muslims, to fight to death or pay tax (jizyah). So if jizyah is abolished then only war or conversion would be the remaining options.
What does the Bible say about 40 ?
Revelation 13:
The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months. He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.
Daniel 9:27
He will confirm a covenant with many for one seven (years). In the middle of the seven he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.
The muslims say that the anti-christ (Ad Dajjal) (and his followers)will have a name (KFR) sealed between his eyes (i.e. the forehead)
Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: There would be written three letters k. f. r., i. e. kafir, between the eyes of the Dajjal. Sahih Muslim Book 41, verse 7008
Bible says that the righteous shall have the Lord's Name on their forheads.
And they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] in their foreheads. Rev. 22:4
