Islam Al Mahdi & Bible AntiChrist
Both Islam and Christianity have very specific things to say about End Times, the period of great significance and events just before the world comes to an end. This period of time has also been called by many other names, including the Last Days, the Last Hour, the Apocalypse, the Great Tribulation, etc. Both religions have specific expectations of what will happen, and there are many similarities between the two beliefs. Some similarities include the expected appearance of natural disasters and calamities, an Antichrist, the coming of Jesus, etc. The striking similarities provide a parallelism between the two religions on this topic
In order to avoid confusion, we have used the following mechanism to refer to the different characters:
•Antichrist. We use this to refer to the Antichrist character that is described in the Bible. We do not mean the Antichrist in Islam. If we need to refer to the Antichrist in Islam, we will use the title "Antichrist in Islam" or ad-Dajjal (see below).
•ad-Dajjal. This is the Antichrist character referred to in Islam. By this title, we do not mean the Antichrist in the Bible.
•Jesus. We use this to refer to the Jesus that is described in the Bible and not the Jesus described in Islam, because the descriptions of Jesus in both religions are very different in some aspects. If we need to to refer to Jesus in Islam, we will use "Isa", "Isa in Islam", "Muslim Jesus" or "Jesus in Islam". Otherwise, we may end up being hopelessly mired in confusion.
•Isa. This Arabic name is used to refer to the Jesus that is described in Islam. We used this name to distinguish from the Jesus of the Bible.
