Both the Qur'an and the Bible proclaim a final judgment. Some of the end
times catastrophes mentioned in the Qur'an reflect what the Bible stated
hundreds of years before Mohammed was born. Yet, there are a number of
differences between the Biblical message and that of the Qur'an. Paraphrased in
this chapter is a collection of thirty-five verses from the Qur'an on the
subject.
The Bible gives specific predictions of what will precede the final judgment.
Prophecies concerning the spread of the gospel to every nation (Matthew 24:14),
career of the Anti-Christ (Revelation 13) and actual location of the final world
conflict (Revelation 16:16) are only a few of the numerous predictions. Specific
predictions are completely missing from the Qur'an, but there is a much more
striking difference.
The Qur'an does not mention a central Biblical message, which has to do with
the triumphal return of Jesus Christ. The Bible reveals that the Lord Jesus will
be seated in the center of God’s throne, as both Savior and Judge (Matthew 25,
Revelation 7:16-17). The one Qur'an passage, which mentions Jesus on Judgment
Day, pictures him on trial being questioned by Allah. Allah asks Jesus whether
or not he claimed that he and his mother were two gods besides Allah to which
Jesus replies that he would never have said such a thing (5:115-117).
The Qur'an does not proclaim that Jesus is coming as the Savior of those who
believed in his Lordship. Actually, there is no salvation in Islam. If anyone
goes to the Islamic Eternal Gardens it will be because he died in battle
fighting for Islam or he was characterized by four things; that Allah gave him
guidance to believe in Islam, his good deeds were weighty, religious rituals
were observed and Allah had mercy on him.
