If the Christians have the concept of the antichrist in their doctrines, then the Muslims also have their image of a muslim antichrist which is similar to that of the Christians. Now the Muslims would call this evil leader the Masih ad Dajjal or the false messiah. In short, he is called the Dajjal and is said to be the one who will deceive all nations and rule the world for forty days.
Now according to the Muslim doctrine, the Dajjal was first prophesied by the great and most respected prophet in Islam known as Muhammad. Now he gives a detailed description of what this individual looks like. According to him, while he was sleeping, he saw a burly man who had a right eye that was blind. This man was supposed to be the deceiver of all nations known as the false messiah.
Muhammad also states that Allah is not one eyed unlike this man who is. Therefore, if anyone would see a ruler who claims to be god and has only one eye, all followers must not believe in him. So according to Muhammad, the one physical distinction for all followers to see would be that one eye that works and the other one that is blind.
It is also stated in the prophecies of Muhammad that this man will come from the central part of Asia that is known as Khorasan. Now this place includes countries in the middle east such as Turkey, Iran, and even Afghanistan. The prophecies also state that this man has to power to perform miracles and will say that he is a prophet from the highest god.
From there, he will declare that he actually is god himself and will save the earth from all the evils that it has. He will liberate the earth, reward those who would follow him, and punish those that do not obey him. He is said to control all of the food of the earth and also has the ability to manipulate the weather.
With this power in his hands, he will be able to bring famine and natural calamities to those who do not follow him. The Muslims will have to go through these trials and wait for the real messiah to come down to earth and destroy this blasphemous man. However, this man is a man of influence and will even convert many Muslims to his side.
What he will do is that he will first kill a man and then bring him back to life. Muhammad specifically says that this is exactly what he will do in order to convince the Muslim people that he is a man of miracles. However, if he would try to kill that same person again, he will find himself unable to anymore.
The muslim antichrist who is the Dajjal is said to die in the hands of the Mahdi or the messiah. Isa, who is also known as Jesus, will join the Mahdi in prayers and will eventually do battle against the Dajjal. Eventually, Isa will catch him and kill him.
