The monotheist religion of Jesus has been transformed into the Trinity just as the monotheist 'Ummah' or people of Ebrahim (a.s.) transfigured into the idol-worshippers of Arabia. The different words used to relate to the Anti-Christ or the Dajjal must have similarly undergone various changes. It is remarkable that after so many translations, alterations, versions and reversions that the Anti-Christ features at all in the Bible, a wonder still that they should be identical to the very words used by the Messenger of Allah. Comparative descriptions of the Dajjal in the Hadis and the Bible:

 

a. The Dajjal will appear in the Akheri Zamana or the Final Period (Hadis). According to the Bible, the Anti-Christ is destined to appear in the Last Hour.[6]

b. The Messenger of Allah has stated that the Dajjal will deny Allah and claim to be lord or 'rub', itself. In the Bible, the Anti-Christ is referred to as the one that denies the Father (God), and the Son (Jesus).[7]

c. The Messenger of Allah has described the Dajjal as the 'Deceiver', identical to the Biblical reference. The Bible described the Anti-Christ as 'Deceiver'.[8]

d. The Messenger of Allah calls the Dajjal 'Liar': it is called the liar in the Bible as well.[9] The Bible declares Anti-Christ as liar.[10]

It seems a atypical and cruel irony that the Christian faith that predicted the arrival of the Anti-Christ, the Dajjal in the Bible and warned others of it should be the herald of it itself, for it was the misguided efforts of its followers that gave birth to the Anti-Christ system and today, their ascendants are among the first grade followers of that very Anti-Chris.
