There are so many questions rising on a daily basis concerning religion. Today, the common question many people are still asking is will the antichrist be a Muslim or a Christian. However, the best question to ask would be whether these are facts or mare claims from people trying to predict the end of times.
The best way to analyze this question would be to have a look at both Biblical and Islamic teachings about the end of times. In Islam is the prophecy of the twelfth man whose return is expected. The Muslims believe that there have been twelve spiritual leaders since the death of Muhammad.
Mohammad Abu was the number twelve spiritual leader of the Islam community. He was born in 868 and when hiding in the caves due to the persecution which was taking place at the time. The Islam community believe that Abu, will someday come back home, just before the day Jesus comes back.
The Bible takes a completely different approach on this matter and talks of a leader who will appear just before the Day of Judgment. The Bible refers to him as the beast, which will come to deceive people by making them sign a false peace treaty for a period of seven years. The beast will then break the treaty during his reign and declare himself God over the whole universe. Many people have faith that the beast is actually the expected twelfth man whose return is expected.
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 Daniel sees in the dream he has is completely similar to the person whose description is given in the last book of the Bible. If this were a true analogy, it would be completely unforgiving to say that the twelfth spiritual leader expected to return by the Islam community is the beast. The antichrist is not going to come from the Islam community, to say the least.
The actual location where this false ruler would rise from is in itself quite contradicting. If he is going to emerge from the Roman Empire, that means he is most likely going to rise from among the European nations or from the Northern part of Africa. If you have no clue, the Europeans are the ones who have always been on the ruling of the Roman Empire and not Arabs.
The nation of Israel is going to create a positive relationship with the beast through the signing up of a peace treaty, which would later be broken during the reigning period. The signing of the treaty is to lead to the rebuilding of the Jewish temple. The hostility between the Islam and Christians shows that a Muslim could be in this position.
