A good rule of thumb is that the Mahdi and Dajjal correspond roughly to the Beast and the False Prophet characters in the Book of Revelations, except that Muslims make them out to be the heroes instead of the villains.

Thanks! That makes sense, and certainly lines up with Revelation, doesn't it?

Yes, the fact that their prophecies are like a mirror image to the Christian ones is one thing that gives me pause and makes me seriously consider if Islam is not one of the major players in the end times. Well, that, and the fact that the tribulation saints are specifically said to be beheaded for their testimony. Aren’t too many groups left on the planet that favor beheadings.
