salaamu alaikum brothers and sisters, I have an issue that requires your professional analysis ,InshaAllah.
i have had misguided missionaries claim that the second beast from the book of revelations (from new testement) is in reference to the holy prophet (S.A.W.S) , astagfirullah, however there are brothers who have been misled and have developed doubts concerning this matter . I will present what these missionaries claim ,
in their claim , the “false prophet” has a set of criteria that he does to help identify him.
One of them is : “And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people“
The missionaries claim that this is related to the “owners of the elephant “ or surah Al Feel , where “fire from heaven” / volcanic rocks were dropped on abrahas men.
the other one is “ And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed”
they claim this is to do with the black stone, and because it will be given eyes and mouth to speak on judgement day to testify who touched it with sincerity.
these are the claims put forth from these missionaries, please could you rebute these claims so that i can also guide the misguided. muslim brothers who have been affected by these claims , InshaAllah.
jazakallah kair brothers
