The Question On Whether Will The Antichrist Be A Muslim

By Essie Osborn


The classical thought on the coming of the Antichrist is that, he is more likely to be of a Caucasian descent and from Europe. This is in relation to book of Daniel however the notion could be taking a turn which brings us to the questioning will the Antichrist be a Muslim. The reason being in recent time, the Muslim have been seen as radical in their aim to conquer the world for Allah.


The Antichrist contained in contemporary time works, will originate from the Eastern part of Roman Empire or the current day Italian Kingdom. This are a number of the proposals. To be precise, after Syria. Currently, the world map, Assyria can suggest the current day Iraq or Syria.

The biblical description of Antichrist is as that of a Leopard, with feet like that of a bear, and finally the mouth of a lion. This description befits the Babylonian Empire that is illustrated as lion. The Persian Empire in relation to the bear and finally the Macedonian empire ruled by Alexander the Great.

The given evidence on the origin of where this man ought to come from all point to Europe. The Antichrist will sign a deal with the Israelites or the nation of Israel in a move to unite and bring peace to the war torn area. This deal is believed to bring peace for seven years and that is the main reason as to why there is a huge possibility of him being a Muslim and coming from this area.

The antichrist is more likely to come from the Arab or neighbor the Israeli region. This is spelled out well in the scriptures as is believed to bring peace amongst the Israeli and her neighbors for seven years. This gives us more reasons to believe the fact that he is more likely to come from the parties involved in the war between Israel and her neighbors.

There comes a confusion in this because, the scriptures say that he would destroy the church and the city. In early times, the Romans were the ones who were renowned for doing this. The burning and unjust execution of the believers were done by this people. This is in contradiction to the idea that he can be a Muslim.

The Muslim faith does not give a true picture and revelation on whether he will be a Muslim. Islam as a religion has its own beliefs and prepositions in turn the same applies to Christianity. The biblical scriptures give a more holistic view and naming of this man. It is therefore easier to say that he will come from the Islamic religion in light to fact that the religion cannot defend itself.

It is easier for a Christian to say that antichrist is more likely to be a Muslim on the grounds that through their faith fact can be deduced to direct them to arriving at that judgment. However if it was not for the vague nature of Islam scriptures on this matter, then the topic could have been well addressed.
