Question: Do the muslims really believe in an "armageddon"? My reason for asking---Armageddon is a term used in the New Testament, specifically the book of Revelation. If my poor theological base is correct, Armageddon is derived from the Jewish "Har Megiddo", literally "Megiddo Hill", an actual place in Israel with obvious tactical/strategic import(from Google maps).

So, is the term "Armageddon" used in the koran, or is this just an english/western shorthand for something islamically different entirely?
