About this listen

The Bible predicts that in the last days a charismatic leader will establish a global following in the name of peace. The Qur’an also predicts that a man will rise up to lead the nations, pledging to usher in an era of peace. The man in the Qur’an is called the Mahdi, or Islam’s savior. However, the man in the Bible is the Antichrist. Joel Richardson’s stunning research and analysis suggest that the Mahdi and the Antichrist are actually one and the same.

In The Islamic Antichrist, Richardson exposes Western readers to the traditions of Islam and predicts that the end-times may not be far away. His book will stun readers unaware of the similarities between the Antichrist and the “Islamic Jesus.” His research on the relationship between Christian end-time prophecy and Islamic expectations of world domination will shock readers and shape the debate over radical Islam for years to come. This is the book to read on the world’s fastest-growing religion and the future of the world.

Critic Reviews

“A fascinating and provocative work. Bravo!” (Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch)

Highly recommend. I've read all of Joel's books and maybe should have read this one first to provide s bit more foundation. This book's different because it shows how Islam will birth the anti Christ; and will deceive many and cause many (voluntarily or my force) to submit to it; as predicted in the bible. So many patterns and comparisons seem to fit into a biblical end times scenario depicting Islam as the central player in it. Highly recommend; bring your bible and maybe towards the end pop out a map of the middle east. Highly recommend.

Great book again by Joel !

As a Muslim and a student of Islamic eschatology, I approached this book with an open and objective mindset, hoping for a balanced and academically grounded analysis. However, I found that the author’s approach falls short of the depth and precision required when discussing such sensitive and intricate subjects.

One of the key issues is the author’s reliance on generalized or commonly circulated opinions (often the ones associated with more radical or fringe interpretations) rather than engaging directly and rigorously with primary Islamic sources. Instead of examining Qur’anic verses and hadiths word-for-word in their proper scholarly context, the author appears to draw from secondary, sometimes questionable, narratives. This weakens many of the arguments presented.

Moreover, throughout the book the author frequently makes assumptions that are not initially supported by evidence. yet later (often in a completely different chapter and on an unrelated subject) he cites hadiths that directly contradict those earlier assumptions. This inconsistency suggests a notable gap in the author’s understanding of Islamic eschatology and its interpretive frameworks.


The author begins the book by sharing the death threats he received, and I am genuinely sorry to hear that. Having lived in a Christian-majority country myself, I understand this kind of hostility all too well, as I experienced similar aggression (but from radical right-wing individuals) not from mainstream Christians.

However, throughout the book the author repeatedly claims that Muslims glorify Jesus merely to appeal to Christians. This is simply not true. We revere Jesus sincerely and wholeheartedly, not as a gesture of diplomacy or to gain favour from anyone. Our deep respect for him is rooted in our faith and scripture, not in cultural or political motives.

This is precisely why—even when extreme right-wing Christians insult or mock a prophet who is sacred to us—we would never respond by speaking ill of Jesus
