The identity and origin of the famous antichrist has been a question that has been on the minds of many religious believers simply. This man is known as one of the future leaders of the world who will woo the people into believing his own brand of ideology and will eventually bring suffering later on. One of the theories of this man is will the antichrist be a Muslim or not.
Now there are actually several books that have been published about this theory. Now the whole basis for this theory is simply because recently, there have been incidents involving Muslim terrorism. Since their goal is world control for Allah, it is possible that the one who plans to conquer the world is the antichrist.
Philip Goodman is one of the most well known Bible scholars who made a book on this theory. Now he is known to only use Bible texts as his references and of course some facts from history to back it up. Now his argument here is that since the Bible says that the leader would be from the East of the former Roman empire, then he will come from Iraq because this is where the former Roman Empire is now.
In Micah chapter five, there is a verse that states that during the end times, the Assyrians would try to invade Israel. Now looking further into history, Iraq was actually formerly known as none other than Assyria. So if one would think about it, this leader may actually have an Islamic background because he comes from Iraq which was formerly the land of the Assyrians.
Of course not only the Bible gives some subtle hints about the origin of this man but even the Quran as well. The famous prophet Muhammad was said to have dreamt of this man one time. In his dream, he saw a man with one eye and is known as the Masih ad Dajjal.
Now the Masih ad Dajjal is the man who would be ruling the earth for many years before the upcoming Judgment Day. He is known for his blind right eye and his ability to be able to perform miracles. However, he would eventually be struck down by the Messiah during the final hour.
Now if one would put the book of Revelation together with the Quran, one can actually see a lot of similarities. One of the minor differences would actually be that according to the Muslims, the Dajjal would be originating from Khorasan instead of Iraq. However, one can see that these two lands are actually very close to each other and would still point out to him coming from an Islamic region.
So by taking a look at the two ancient books, it can actually be seen that there is a big possibility that he is of Islamic faith. However, what he preaches will be radical Islam which aims to conquer the world. Under his power, the world will suffer years of tribulation and struggle until he is inevitably defeated.
