What details does the Quran give about the signs of the anti-Christ?

Thank you

The Quran, as a whole, is usually concise and instructs about/emphasises matters that are important to all of mankind in various situations. As such, it doesn't say much about the anti-Christ, itself, if anything. However the ahaadeeth do make mention of the anti-Christ (Dajjal). Among the described features are the following:

He will be a young man with a ruddy complexion, short, with thick curly hair, a wide forehead, and broad upper chest, blind or defective (mamsooh) in the right eye. Another of his characteristics will be that he will be sterile, with no children born to him.

...

It was also narrated from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) mentioned the Dajjaal to the people and said: “Allaah is not one-eyed, but the false messiah (al-maseeh al-dajjaal) is one-eyed, blind or defective in his right eye, with his eye looking like a floating grape…” (narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 3184).

...

It was reported that he will have a paradise and a hell with him, but his paradise will be his hell and his hell will be his paradise. He will have rivers of water and mountains of bread. He will command the sky to send down rain, and it will rain, and he will command the earth to bring forth vegetation and it will do so. The treasures of the earth will follow him, and he will travel rapidly, like clouds driven by the wind. And he will do other extraordinary feats. All of that was mentioned in the saheeh ahaadeeth. Imaam Muslim narrated in his Saheeh that Hudhayfah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘The Dajjaal will be one-eyed, blind in his left eye, and will have thick hair. He will have a paradise and a hell with him, but his paradise will be a hell and his hell will be a paradise.’” (Narrated by Muslim, no. 5222)

...

In the hadeeth of al-Nawwaas ibn Sam’aan about the Dajjaal, it is reported that the Sahaabah said: “O Messenger of Allaah, how long will he stay on the earth?” He said, “Forty days: one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of the days like your days.” … They said, “How fast will he travel through the earth?” He said, “Like the clouds when they are driven by the wind. He will come to some people and call them, and they will believe in him and respond to him. Then he will command the sky to rain, and the earth to bring forth vegetation, and their cattle will come back to them in the evening, with their humps very high, and their udders full of milk, and their flanks stretched. Then he will come to another people and will call them, but they will reject him. So he will leave them and they will be stricken with famine, with none of their wealth in their hands. He will pass by ruins and will say, ‘Bring forth your treasure!’ – and the treasure will follow him like a swarm of bees. Then he will call a man who is brimming with youth, and will strike him with a sword and cut him in two, then (he will put the pieces apart from one another) the distance of an archer from his target. Then he will call him, and the young man will come forward smiling, with his face shining.” (narrated by Muslim, 5228)

According to the hadeeth of Umaamah al-Baahili (may Allaah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said of the Dajjaal: “Part of his fitnah will be that he will say to a Bedouin, Do you think that if I resurrect your father and mother for you that you will testify that I am your lord?’ He will say, ‘Yes.’ So two devils will appear to him in the image of his father and mother, saying, ‘O my son, follow him for he is your lord.’” (Narrated by Ibn Maajah, no. 4067. Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani, Saheeh al-Jaami’ al-Sagheer, hadeeth 7752).

...

The Dajjaal will die at the hands of the Messiah ‘Eesa ibn Maryam [i.e. Jesus] (peace be upon him), as is indicated by the saheeh ahaadeeth.

The above are excerpts taken from the islamqa website.

Scholars of hadeeth derived from the various narrations that one eye will be non-functional and abraded and the other will be defective.

The anti-Christ is said to emerge from a land east of Saudi Arabia, and he will travel around the world - but not be able to enter some certain places.

as ash said above but very briefly the signs to look out for will be, he will be a Jew, he will have one eye [one eye will be blind] and he will perform seemingly miracles such as brining the dead to life, making it rain in parts of the world where people obey him and stopping the rain [so there would be drought] in parts of the world where people wont and he will claim to be God

So basically a half-blind Jesus?

Lets see...

Jesus:
Jew ✓
Performs miracles ✓
Kind to his followers, doesn't care about the rest ✓

Now remember that an anti-Jesus would be the opposite of that, so:

Anti-Jesus:
Jew ✗
Performs miracles ✗
Kind to his followers, doesn't care about the rest ✓

Sounds more like a half-blind Jesus to me.

Hi , just one point that it incorrect in your post. Jesus cared about everyone whether Jew or gentile. There are many examples of him being kind to people others didn't want to associate with like tax collectors, prostitutes, supposed adulteress, criminals (the two on the crosses next to his), the people that were unclean (did not keep all of the cleanliness laws and rituals) the poor, the sick, lepers etc the list goes on :smile:
