Lud (or Lydda) is a city in modern-day Israel that holds a crucial place in Islamic eschatology. According to Hadith, it is at the "Gate of Lud" that Prophet Isa (Jesus), upon his return to earth, will confront and slay the False Messiah (Dajjal). This event marks the end of the Dajjal's reign of deception and the beginning of a new era of justice and peace under the leadership of Isa (AS) and the Mahdi. The mention of Lud provides a specific geographical anchor for the events of the end times as described in Islamic tradition.
