What is the beast in islam?

In Islam, the "beast" refers to a creature mentioned in the Quran and Hadith that is said to appear towards the end of times as a sign of the approach of the Day of Judgment. The beast is often associated with the Antichrist, a figure who appears in various religious traditions as a deceiver who will lead people astray before the end of the world.

In Islamic tradition, the beast is described as having unique features such as the ability to speak and a mark on its forehead indicating its true identity. Its appearance is said to signal the beginning of a period of great upheaval and chaos in the world.

There is some disagreement among Islamic scholars about the exact nature of the beast and its role in Islamic eschatology, but its appearance is generally considered a dramatic event that will precede the end of the world and the Day of Judgment.
