Will The Antichrist Be A Muslim?

By Essie Osborn


Religion has left so many people with unanswered questions about life to come, to say the least. The common question today is the same; will the antichrist be a Muslim. There is no better way to get around this than to find out whether there are facts that give real support to this argument.

It is actually not easy to evaluate such a claim without looking at the end-time teaching form the Islamic and Christian religion. There is a prophecy concerning the Twelfth Imam. According to the prophecy, there have twelve Imams since the departure of Muhammad.

The twelfth spiritual leader was Muhammad Abu. Muhammad Abu was born around 868. He went to hiding into the caves because of the ongoing persecution. Many people have faith that Muhammad Abu, the spiritual leader, is going to come back soon before the Day of Judgment.

The Bible has a completely different approach to the same issue yet it talks about a leader who would come before the Day of Judgment. It does not mention who he is. There are no references in the Bible giving clues about the religion of the antichrist. His mission would be to establish peace on earth by signing a peace treaty with the Israelites, an agreement he would break after taking authority. The beast would declare himself God and rule the whole world before the coming of Jesus. Some people believe that the beast is the twelfth man the Islam community is waiting for.

The book of Daniel in the Bible takes a clear look at the empires that is to rise during the last days. The vision of Daniel talks about four empires and in it, he states that the empire, which is to rule and conquer other empires during the last days, is the the Roman Empire. The leader of the empire will not only make deceit to prosper but also declare himself superior.

The ruler that Daniel sees in the vision is quite similar to the person spoken about in the Book of Revelation. If these were true claims, it would be wholly unforgiving to say that a false ruler would actually rise from the Islam community to rule the word before the Day of Judgment. If anything, he is not even going to come from the Islamic community.

Where the false spiritual leader is going to arise from contradicts. If people believe that he is going to come from the Roman Empire that means that, his origin is from the nations, which are part of the Roman Empire. Some of these nations include a larger part of the European nations and some sections of the Northern part of Africa. The Arabs have never taken part in the ruling of the Roman Empire.

There is likelihood that there will be a positive relationship between this leader and the nation of Israel at the time. The leader will come and a make a seven year-period of peace treaty with the Israelites. This will not only led trouble but also rebuilding of the Jewish. There will be hostility between Muslims and Jews and this clearly shows that a Muslim could be in this position.
