Where will Jesus عليه السلام kill the Anti-Christ ?

Some narrations indicate Jesus will kill the Anti-Christ in Lud (near Tel Aviv, Israel), while other narrations indicate it will be near Afiq, close to Lake Tiberias (Sea of Galilee). Some scholars such as Al-Ahwazi believe that Lud does not refer to a name of a city or location, but rather it means Fitna (strife, trial, or tribulation).

Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "In the meantime, while the Dajjal will be busy doing this and this, Allah will send down the Messiah son of Mary (Jesus عليه السلام). He (Jesus عليه السلام ) will descend in the eastern part of Damascus, near the white minaret (tower), dressed in the two yellowish garments, with his hands resting on the arms of two angels. When he will bend down his head, water drops will appear trickling down, and when he will raise it, it will appear as though pearl--like drops are rolling down. Any disbeliever whom the air of his breath reaches, and it will reach up to the last limit of his sight, will fall dead. Then, the son of Mary will go in pursuit of the Dajjal, and will overtake him at the gate of Lud, and will kill him." (Sahih Muslim, Tirmizi, Ibn Majah).

Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Then Jesus عليه السلام will descend, and Allah will cause the Dajjal to be killed near the mountain pass of Afiq (in Palestine, few miles from Lake Tiberias, called by Israelis 'Sea of Galilee') ." (Musnad Ahmad).

حدثنا قتيبة حدثنا الليث عن ابن شهاب أنه سمع عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن ثعلبة الأنصاري يحدث عن عبد الرحمن بن يزيد الأنصاري من بني عمرو بن عوف يقول سمعت عمي مجمع ابن جارية الأنصاري يقول

سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول يقتل ابن مريم الدجال بباب لد

رواه: الإمام أحمد، وأبو داود الطيالسي، والترمذي، وابن حبان في "صحيحه". وقال الترمذي : "هذا حديث صحيح"

Mujm'e bin Jariya Al-Ansari narrated that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said: " Son of Mary (meaning Jesus) will kill the Dajjal (Anti-Christ) at a door of Lud." (Tirmizi, Ahmad, Tabarani, Ibn Hayan, Abu Dawood Al-Tayalisi) . Tirmizi classified it as a Sahih Hadith.

9. The Wisdom in the Descent of Prophet Jesus عليه السلام

Sunni Muslim scholars have given many different reasons for the return of Prophet Jesus عليه السلام to this World. A few are listed below:

1) The Jews believe that they killed Prophet Jesus عليه السلام , Allah will send him before the end of time to prove that they did not killed him and that he is alive. It is Jesus who will fight the Jews and kill their leader, the Dajjal. (Ibn Hajar Al'Asqalani's Fathul-Bari)

2) Some scholars have said that Prophet Jesus عليه السلام found many virtues of the followers of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم in the Bible and thus he prayed to Allah to make him amongst the nation of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم . Allah answered his prayer and he will return for the second time as one of the followers of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم . (Ibn Khathir)

3) It is the Law of Allah that anything created from the Earth has to be buried in the Earth and not in the Heavens. Thus, he will return to the Earth for the second time, kill the Dajjal, live for a period of time and then he will die a natural death and will be buried near the Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم . (Muhammad Al-Barzanji's book Al-Isha'ah li Ashrat AsSaa'h).

10. Prophet Jesus عليه السلام and the Ya'juj Ma'juj (Gog Magog)

Nawwas bin Sam'an narrated that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

" .... (After the Dajjal appears with his trails and tribulations,) it will at this very time that Allah will send the Messiah, son of Mary. He will descend at the white minaret on the eastern side of Damascus, wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels. When he lowers his head, there will fall beads of perspiration from his head, and when he raises it up, beads like pearls will scatter from it. Every non-believer who smells the odour of his body will die and his breath will reach as far as he is able to see. He will then go after (the Dajjal) until he catches him at the gate of Lud and kills him. Then, a people whom Allah had protected will come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he will wipe their faces and inform them of their ranks in Paradise.

It will be under such conditions that Allah will reveal to Jesus the following words: 'I have brought forth from among My servants such people against whom none will be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur (mountain).' Then, Allah will send Gog and Magog and they will swarm down from every slope. The first of them (Gog and Magog) will pass the lake of Tiberias (Sea of Galilee) and drink out of it. And when the last of them passes, he will say: 'There was once water there.'

وبعد ذلك يتم محاصرة يسوع ورفاقه هنا (في الطور الجبل، وسوف يكون الضغط من الصعب جدا) لدرجة أن الثور سوف تكون أكثر قيمة لهم من مائة دينار (العملة العربية). رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال يسوع، وسوف أصحابه تضرع (الدعاء) إلى الله، الذي سوف ترسل لهم (يأجوج ومأجوج) الحشرات (التي ستشن الهجوم رقابهم) وفي الصباح، فإنها تهلك واحدة واحدة شخص. رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال يسوع، وسوف يأتي أصحابه ثم إلى أسفل (من الطور الجبل)، وأنها لن تجد الكثير من الفضاء، وفترة زمنية واحدة التي لا شغل مع بقايا متحللة يأجوج ومأجوج في الجثث. رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال يسوع، وسوف أصحابه ثم تضرع لله الذي سوف ترسل الطيور التي رقاب سيكون مثل تلك (رقاب) من الجمال الجرثومية، وأنها سوف حملها (يأجوج ومأجوج) بعيدا ورمى بها حيث شاء الله.
