requesting Islamic echatology 101

[eccentricjdo]

I am writing a series of novels of Apocalyptic fiction that will intertwine the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic eschatologies, all three of which will appear to be fullfilled in the eyes of the adherents of the three religions. I, the writer, will avoid bias towards any of the the three. The enemy is called, by Christians, the Antichrist, by Jews, "the king who exalts himself", "the fourth beast", and, by Muslims, the Dajjal (which is simply the Muslim name given to the Antichrist, of whom Muslims have their unique beliefs). His chief prophet-opponent will be hailed by the Christians and the Jews as "he that comes in the spirit and power of Elijah", perhaps Elijah himself, and by the Muslims, "Imam Madhi" need feedback on ancient and contemporary Jewish beliefs about "the time of the end".

Wouldn't a library be a more suitable place to conduct this research? Sometimes it is better to go the horses mouth rather than settle for information from its other quarters.
