The Islamic Mahdi is for Christ while the Biblical Antichrist is against Christ

 

 

Dear All,

 

Firstly, this is what it says in Wikipedia about the Mahdi:

 

" According to the Shia and Sunni versions of the Islamic eschatology the Mahdi

(مهدي Mahdī, also Mehdi; " Guided One " ) is the prophesied redeemer of Islam

who will stay on earth seven, nine, or nineteen years (depending on the

interpretation[1]) before the coming of the day, Yawm al-Qiyamah (literally " Day

of the Resurrection " or " Day of the Standing " ).[2] Muslims believe the Mahdi

will rid the world of error, injustice and tyranny alongside Jesus.[3] The

concept of Mahdi is not explicitly mentioned in the Qu'ran nor in the Sunni

hadiths such as Sahih al-Bukhari which only mention the second coming of

Jesus.[4][5] It is only one of the six books of hadīth. Some orthodox Sunnī

theologians accordingly question Mahdist beliefs[5], but such beliefs form a

necessary part of Shīʿī doctrine.[4]

 

According to scholars Julie Vryhof and Mitchell Uitvlugt, the advent of Mahdi is

not a universally accepted concept in Islam [2] and among those that accept the

Mahdi there are basic differences among different sects of Muslims about the

timing and nature of his advent and guidance. The idea of the Mahdi has been

described as important to Sufi Muslims, and a " powerful and central religious

idea " for Shia Muslims who believe the Mahdi is the Twelfth Imam, Muhammad

al-Mahdi who will return from occultation. However, among Sunni, it " never

became a formal doctrine " and is neither endorsed, nor condemned " by the

consensus of Sunni Ulama. " It has " gained a strong hold on the imagination of

many ordinary " self-described orthodox Sunni though, thanks to Sufi

preaching.[6] Another source distinguishes between Sunni and Shia beliefs on the

Mahdi saying the Sunni believe the Mahdi will be a descendant of the Islamic

prophet Muhammad who will revive the faith.

 

The " hdi " of " Mahdi " refers to the Arabic root " هدی " which means " to guide " .

" Mahdi " is also an Arabic name. Therefore Imam Mahdi means " leader of all

(spiritual) Guides " , including all saints and prophets too. [citation needed] "

Secondly, there is a book out by Joel Richardson, where he is unbelievably,

comparing the Islamic Mahdi to the Biblical Antichrist:

 

" In " The Islamic Antichrist " , Joel Richardson breaks new ground with this

devastating account of the possible connection between the Biblical Antichrist

and the Islamic Mahdi. The Bible predicts that in the last days a charismatic

leader will establish a global following in the name of peace. The Koran also

predicts that a man will rise up to lead the nations, pledging to usher in an

era of peace. The man in the Koran is called the Mahdi, or Islam's savior.

However, the man in the Bible is the Antichrist. Could it be possible that this

is the same person?

Through our Self-realization and knowledge of Sahaja Yoga, we know that the

Islamic Mahdi and the Biblical Antichrist are actually opposite figures or

personalities, of each other. Whereas the Islamic Mahdi is for Christ, the

Biblical Antichrist is against Christ.
