Beliefs About The Muslim Antichrist And His Origin

By Essie Osborn


Islam remains the fastest growing religion on earth after Christianity. It followers are the second largest in the world. Recently, debate has intensified with regard to a possible Muslim Antichrist.This has been coupled with widespread speculation especially from the leadership of various religions.

Many materials have been published supporting the belief that the Antichrist will arise from the Islamic community. However, such views by individuals like Richardson about have been opposed by many who prefer to stick to prior bible interpretation of a western savior. The argument has therefore been whether the Antichrist will come from the west or from among east.

People have compared what has been happening in the Middle East in relation to what the bible contains to fully comprehend this argument. In a number of countries in the Middle East, the leadership has been forcefully removed from power by radicals. In Tunis, Ben Ali was the first to be forcefully removed from power and elections conducted in the country after what observers term as years of authoritarianism. Similar incidences took place in Libya and Egypt where Colonel Qaddafi and Hosni Mubarak were toppled from power respectively. The same scenario was evidenced in Syria.

The Muslim Brotherhood has largely been behind these revolts and has gone ahead to take advantage of the volatile situation in these countries to proclaim itself as the Arab leadership. The main agenda of this movement is the establishment of an international caliphate;an Islamic rule that is centralized. The movement greatly expects this will bring with it great wealth and power that will put them firmly on a path of achieving their dream of having Islam spread to Europe, Asia and Africa.Many people are of the view that the spread of Islam beyond any established national border is real in the world.

The brotherhood strongly believes that the destruction of Israel and the United States will be a step towards the great revolution that will see the whole world convert into Islam. They hold the belief that their Mahdi (messiah figure) is the one to lead the grand caliphate.

This community has however had differences. A faction believes that the messiah will be a product of elections by people representing various nations that generally profess Islam. Another faction believes that the leader will be a supernatural being who comes from the lineage of Allah. They believe he will come from a secret place he has been residing for many years.

The vocal Muslim leadership has made this argument gain more credit. Christians have also started to believe that this supernatural being talked about is the Antichrist. According to the bible, he will lie to the Jewish people that he is the true messiah that the Christian community has been waiting for.

Growth of Islam into European countries and the United States of America, Islam growing stronger and more united has fostered the belief among Muslim leadership that Islam will be globally victorious. However, others have interpreted this to mean the coming of a Antichrist.
