You know, Islam, Christianity and Judaism are more similar than is often suspected. All three belief systems have Abraham as a patriarch. All three are expecting the return of a messiah and all three believe the messiah will be preceded by an imposter. The muslim antichrist is the Islamic version of this false prophet. The term does not refer, as some might think, to the Christian antichrist being a muslim.
His name will be Masih ad-Dajjal, which means, literally, "false messiah." He will be preceded by 29 other false prophets. He will be blind in his right eye, which will bulge like a grape. Any false prophet worth his salt will probably make an effort to conceal this deformity.

Eschatology is a word that refers to the events leading up to the end of civilization. In Christianity, these events are described in the Book of Revelation, the final book of the Bible. The Jews refer to it as the end of days. Whatever you want to call it, there are some surprising similarities between the Islamic and Christian views of what is going to take place.
Matthew 24:7 talks about earthquakes, violent conflicts between nations and widespread famines in the days leading to the Day of Resurrection. Hadith-Bukhari 9.237 speaks to the same events in the Islamic version of the end times. Both sides agree that nobody knows the exact date and time this will take place, although there is mounting evidence that the prelude is unwinding before our eyes right now.
Many Christians would probably be surprised at the Islamic view of Jesus. While many believe that he is a false prophet and an imposter, at the other extreme are those who recognize him as the Son of God and worship Him as such. Islam also recognizes Noah, Abraham and Moses as legitimate prophets along with Muhammad. They also consider Jesus to be the Messiah.
The role of Mary and her role in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ are mentioned in the Quran, the Islamic authoritative document similar in function to the Holy Bible. According to Islam, Allah (or God), Mary and Jesus are collectively known as the Trinity. Muslims, like their Christian brothers and sisters, believe that Jesus performed many miracles. Like followers of Christ, they attribute the power behind these miracles as God, and not the Man himself.
Perhaps, instead of fighting wars against each other, the three faiths should get together and acknow

Perhaps, instead of fighting wars against each other, the three faiths should get together and acknowledge that there is more to unite them than there is to separate them. Miniscule differences are undoubtedly attributable to Satan, the Great Deceiver, the father of all lies. It is, after all, his mission to destroy man and to keep him away from God.
As we appear to be approaching the end times, we should obsess less over trivial differences, like why a 4,000 year-old wooden boat has no visible remains. We should instead listen to the collective wisdom of all the prophets and treat each other with a bit of respect. God can clear up the minutiae when He gets here. If, that is, he sees fit.
