🏵️🏵️🏵️ Thank you, Ari, for your thought-provoking article regarding the Antichrist and the parallels you draw with today's world. Your insights prompt reflection not only within the Christian faith but also resonate deeply with Islamic teachings.

In Islam, we too anticipate the coming of the Antichrist (Dajjal in Arabic language), often seen as a deceptive figure who will lead many astray. Just as you highlighted the importance of vigilance against the Antichrist, Islam encourages believers to remain steadfast in their faith and to seek knowledge to recognize falsehoods. The Quran reminds us in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:155), “And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient.” This verse emphasizes the trials we will face and the need for resilience against deception.

Moreover, the Hadith recounts the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advising, “There is no trial more severe upon the Children of Adam than the Dajjal.” This underlines the significance of being aware of our spiritual surroundings and the forces that attempt to undermine our faith in times of turmoil.

I urge you and your readers to engage in a collective awakening, to deepen understanding across faiths, and to strengthen our resolve against spiritual deceptions that challenge our beliefs. Let us unite in examining our spiritual foundations and remain diligent in recognizing and counteracting any forces that threaten them.

What can we do together to foster a greater understanding and vigilance against such forces in our communities?

Best regards,

Mohamed, Ph.D.
