Abstract
The theory of adaptation of the antichrist symbol to the Islamic-Shiite savior seeks to prove the complete conflict between the views of Islam and Christianity about the end of time. Considering the great efforts of the owners of this theory in developing this view in Christianity and Islamophobia and Shiaphobia in Western societies, it is necessary to examine this theory and explain its problems.
In order to evaluate this theory, the book "Kamaluddin" from Shiite sources and the book "Revelations of John" from Christian sources were analyzed using the method of content analysis. The findings of the research show that, contrary to the claim, there are many differences between the Shia savior and the antichrist of the Bible, and a significant convergence and alignment between the Shia savior and the Christian savior.
Among the methodological errors of this theory is the failure to refer to authentic traditions and authentic Shiite sources, and the selective presentation of supporting evidence and ignoring the opposing evidence. Also, this point of view is based on an imaginary interpretation of the Holy Bible and cannot be attributed to it just by a partial analogy.
