So do you think when Jesus comes he'll tell us all that Muhamed was right?
I read about someone called the 'Mahdi' in Islam who is supposed to come at some future point. Who is he, and is this the same Jesus who will come the 2nd time? What do you believe will happen when Jesus returns? What about the Mahdi, if they are different?

Mahdi will come before Jesus (peace and blessings upon him), and then he will become the prime minister for Jesus (peace and blessings upon him).
Prime minister? Okay thats where your belief and mine split. First there has to be an anti christ.
But hey theyre close enough right? As long as we're both good.

2:62
Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Oh and I was just wondering, why is it that my people who are islam call themselves moslems? Im ashamed of myself for not knowing
Islam........do you actually have prophecy on the Mahdi?
Is it in the Koran?
Or is it a prophecy of Muhammad?
Are there any signs of his coming ?
When you say he will come before the Antichrist, how do you know it will be HIM ....?
How are you going to distinguish between the Antichrist and the Madhi?
Ok....sorry my ignorance.....I forgot all about the link you provided.....I will take a look.....
Hmm, I'm surprised. I was expecting that Mahdi & Jesus were the same. That's interesting. My religion believes that Jesus will come again and that he will lead the world, but we have nothing for or against Mahdi. I might have to look into him. I've got a copy of the Qu'ran on my computer in English (don't speak arabic, hehe, just English and a bit of French), but I've only read the first six Suras so far, and I don't remember seeing any Mahdi yet. The Qu'ran is a very interesting book, I think it's a good read even for non-Muslims like myself, particularly for religious people. I don't know a lot about Islam, but I learned a little in my history courses, and I have discussed religion with my Muslim friends.
There is nothing specifically about the Mahdi in the Quran. Even about Jesus, all the Quran says is that he will come back. Most of the details of these prophecies come from Hadith of Muhammad. I read somewhere (I am not sure about this) that Jesus and the Mahdi will pray together.
Interesting. Anyone know where to get an online copy of the Hadith, if there is one? (in English preferably )
So since you guys of the islam religion believe in Jesus, do you celebrate Christmas and Easter?
No, Croat, muslims don't celebrate Christmas or Easter. Those holidays put an unacceptable amount of worship on someone that muslims do not consider to be equal to God. Even Muhammad's birthday is not celebrated.
