The Messiah, the Qur’an and Akhir al-Zaman
The Qur'anic account of the Messiah and his return, read against the end of time.
A study of the Messiah in the Qur’an: the birth, mission and return of Jesus as Islam understands them, set against the Jewish and Christian accounts. Hosein places the return within his reading of akhir al-zaman, the end of time, and argues that the differences between the three traditions on this point are the key to the religious conflict he sees shaping the modern world.
