SPOTLIGHT
RECOGNITION OF THE ANTI-CHRIST
It has now been established in light of Islamic scripture that the Anti-Christ will be from a Muslim background. This is also verified by the prophecies of Nostradamus.
[ QUATRAINS 9 / 53, 8 / 70, 10 / 75 ]
Just as the Bible mentions the advent of false Christs, similarly, Islamic scripture predicts the advent of false Mahdis. This is a phenomenon the world must understand. The Anti-Christ will be the ultimate False Mahdi: a false Islamic Messiah.
Whether you look at Christian, Jewish or Islamic definitions, the Anti-Christ is a deceiver who shall misguide masses in the name of the religion. The idea that the Anti-Christ will be Islam’ s Imam Mahdi is utterly absurd. Careful research into the topic reveals that the Anti-Christ is in fact the greatest enemy of Imam Mehdi and humanity.
There is a famous tradition of Prophet Mohammad regarding the Anti-Christ in which he declares that the Anti-Christ will be blind in one eye while asserting that the
Lord is not one-eyed. [ SAHIH MUSLIM ]
Another saying of the Prophet Mohammad states that the Anti-Christ would be riding on a donkey. [ AL-MUSTADRAK BY AL-HAKIM ] He also said that the Anti-Christ would have the word‘ infidel( Kafir)’ written on his forehead.
[ AL-BUKHARI, MUSLIM ]
If a man with one eye and‘ infidel’ written on his forehead rides a donkey, wouldn’ t the scholars of Islam instantaneously recognise him as the Anti-Christ? Whereas Prophet Mohammad clearly stated that 70 000 Muslim clerics would pledge allegiance to the Anti-Christ. Therefore it is obvious that Prophet Mohammad was not giving the physical description of the Anti-Christ; rather, he was speaking in a metaphorical manner.
In Islam, the eyes are symbolic to knowledge.
The Anti-Christ being blind in one eye alludes to him being deprived of esoteric knowledge( spiritual knowledge) while being an expert on exoteric knowledge.
