en.wikipedia.org...
The Qur'an describes the Last Judgment, with a number of interpretations of its verses. There are specific aspects:
1. The time is known only to Allah.[14]
2. Muhammad cannot bring it forward.[15]
3. Those who have been dead will believe that a short time has passed between birth and death.[16] Nothing will remain except Allah.[17]
4. God will resurrect all, even if they have turned to stone or iron.[18]
5. Those that have accepted false deities will suffer in the afterlife.[19]
But I'm not sure how many people have stuck their nose into the Endtimes prophecies written in the Koran.
Apparently he didn't read most of the wiki article.
But the OP says this in his first paragraph:

So, there is no equivalent to the book of Revelations from the Old Testament in the Qur'an?
Of course, there is no shortage of variations of interpretations to those verses within Christianity.

Just to clarify, each denomination (& school of thought within each denomination) is different. They follow specific Hadith & Sunna, their own scholars' interpretations of scripture, and their own rulings (fatwas are recommendations). They also add their own cultural, regional, and/or tribal traditions. This is why there are so many different forms of "Sharia Law".
This is also why different translations/"interpretations" of the Qur'an can seem so different. Because different schools of thought will add explanations into the Qur'an's text that "prove" their interpretation is correct. Usually these editor's notes are added in parentheses or at the bottom of the page, though not always.
I'm saying this so you understand that each denomination of Islam is different, just as with any other religion. I have no interest in arguing semantic differences between denominations. There are certainly denominations that believe in the Dajjal, Madhi, 2nd Coming, and more. However, the OP stated that these were written in the Qur'an, which is false. So I wanted to make sure people know that all of these "armageddon prophecies" are pure speculation & hearsay among some denominations, not the word of God Himself (aka the Qur'an).

I take it all with a grain of salt. No offense intended.
I am completely ignorant when it comes to Islam and again, no offense intended, are you at all familiar with Brigham Young's story? It seems there may be certain "borrowings."
