Lod (Bahasa Ibrani: לוֹד; Arab: اَلْلُدّْ, al-Ludd; Greco-Latin Lydda), juga dieja dan disebut Ludd, ialah sebuah bandar diDaerah Tengah, Israel, sekitar 20 kilometer di tenggara Tel Aviv dan 3 kilometer utara Ramallah. Pada akhir tahun 2007, kota ini berpenduduk 67,000 orang, di mana 80% daripadanya adalah dari kaum Yahudi, manakala 20% lagi dari umat Arab Palestin berikutan projek perluasaan tapak penempatan haram Yahudi.
Nama lama kota ini, selama ribuan tahun, ialah Lydda, Lydea dan Al-Lydd, dan kota ini juga terkenal dengan nama Diospolis. Dalam Injil 1 Tawarikh 8 disebutkan bahawa kota ini menjadi tempat tinggal bagi Suku Bunyamin (anak kepada Nabi Yaakub a.s. dan adik kepada Nabi Yusuf a.s.). Kononnya, di tempat inilah Santo Peter menyembuhkan seseorang yang mengalami penyakit lumpuh, seperti yang disebutkan dalam Kisah Para Rasul 9: 32-38.
Di kota ini ada sebuah gereja yang dikenali sebagai: Gereja Santo Georgius dan sebuah Masjid yakni: Masjid El-Chodr. Bahagian tempat peribadatan itu membentuk kompleks bangunan, gereja dan masjid itu juga memiliki pintu masuk yang unik.
Kota ini dikenali kerana mempunyai sistem Bandar Antarabangsa yang mempunyai banyak persamaan dengan Bandar Tel Aviv yakni Bandar Ben Gurion. Setakat ini telah adanya jalan raya dan jalur KA yang menghubungkan kota ini dengan Tel Aviv.
Lapangan terbang utama Israel, Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Ben Gurion (dahulunya dikenali sebagai Lapangan Terbang Lydda, RAF Lydda, dan Lapangan Terbang Lod) terletak di bandar ini. Mengikut perspektif Islam pula, di pagar/tembok Kota Lod inilah akan terjadinya pembunuhan Dajal oleh Nabi Isa a.s..

Hadeeths Relating to the Second Advent of Jesus Son of Mary (pbuh):
- "I swear by Him in Whose hand is my soul: the son of Mary shall descend among you as a just ruler. Then he will break the Cross, and kill the swine and put an end to war (in another Tradition, there is the word Jizyah(tax) instead of war, meaning that he will abolish of jizyah); then there will be such abundance of wealth that nobody will like to accept it, and(conditions will be such that) performing of one sajdah (prostration) before Allah will be considered better than the world and what it contains." (Bukhari and Muslim).
- "Jesus son of Mary shall descend; then he will kill the swine and destroy the Cross; and a congregation will be held for him for the Prayer; and he will distribute so much wealth that people will be satiated with it; and he will abolish the tribute; and he will encamp at Rauha', B and from there will go to perform Hajj or 'Umrah, or both." (Muslim).
- The Holy Prophet (after making mention of the appearance of the Dajjal) said: "In the meantime, When the Muslims will be making preparations to fight him, will be lining up (for the Prayer) and the lqamah will have been pronounced, Jesus son of Mary shall descend and lead them in the Prayer; and the enemy of Allah(Dajjal i.e. the Antichrist) on seeing him shall start dissolving like salt in water. If Jesus were to leave him alone, he would melt to death anyway, but Allah will have him killed at his hand, and he will show his blood on his spear to the Muslims." (Muslim).
- "There is no prophet between me and him (i.e. Jesus Christ), and he shall descend. So, recognize him when you see him. He is a man of medium height, of ruddy and fair complexion; he will be dressed in two yellow garments; the hair of his head will appear as though water was going to trickle down from it, whereas it will not be wet. He will fight people in the cause of Islam, will break the Cross and kill the swine and will abolish jizyah; and Allah will put an end to all communities in his time except Islam; and he will slay the Antichrist (Dajjal);and he will stay in the world for 40 years; then will die and the Muslims will offer the funeral Prayer for him." (Abu Da'ud and Ahmad).
- "... then Jesus son of Mary will descend. The leader of the Muslims will say to him, 'Come, lead us in the Prayer', but he will say, 'No: you yourselves are leaders over one another." This he will say in view of the honour that Allah has bestowed on this Community." (Muslim and Ahmad).
- The Holy Prophet (while relating the story of the Dajjal) said: "At that time suddenly Jesus son of Mary (on whom be peace)shall appear among the Muslims. Then the people will stand up for the Prayer, and he will be asked, 'Step forward, 0h Spirit of Allah (and lead us in the Prayer); but he will say, 'No: your own leader should step forward and lead the Prayer.' Then, after offering the Morning Prayer, the Muslims shall go forth to fight the Dajjal.' He said, 'When the liar will see Jesus, he will start dissolving like the salt in water. Then Jesus will advance towards him and will slay him; and it will so happen that the trees and the stones will cry out: '0h Spirit of Allah, here is a Jew hiding behind me.' None will be left from among the followers of the Dajjal, whom he (i.e. Jesus) will not kill." (Ahmad).
- "In the mean time when the Dajjal will be busy doing this and this, Allah will send down Messiah son of Mary, and he will descend in the eastern part of Damascus, near the white minaret (tower), dressed in the two yellow garments, with his hands resting on the arms of two angels. When he will bend down his head, water drops will appear trickling down, and when he will raise it, it will appear as though pearl--like drops are rolling down. Any disbeliever whom the air of his breath reaches--and it will reach up to the last limit of his sight will fall dead. Then the son of Mary will go in pursuit of the Dajjal, and will overtake him at the gate of Lod, D and will kill him." (Muslim, Abu Da'ud: Kitab, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah).
- "The Daijal will appear in my Ummah (nation), and will live for forty (I do not know whether he said 40 days, or 40 months or 40 years). Then Allah will send Jesus son of Mary. He will closely resemble 'Urwah Bin Mas'ud (a Companion). He will pursue him and kill him. Then for seven years the people will live in such a state that no ill-will and enmity will exist between any two of them." (Muslim).
- Then in the morning Jesus son of Mary will join the Muslims, and Allah will cause the Dajjal and his hosts to be routed, until the walls and the roots of the trees will call 'out: "0h believer, here is a disbeliever hidden behind me: come and kill him." (Ahmad, Hakem).
- Then Jesus (on whom be peace) will descend, and Allah will cause the Dajjal to be killed near the mountain pass of Afiq. E(Ahmad).
- Exactly at the time when the Imam of the Muslims will have stepped forward to lead them in the Morning Prayer, Jesus son of Mary shall descend upon them. The Imam will step back so that Jesus may step forward (to lead the Prayer), but Jesus, placing his hand between his two shoulders, will say, "No, you should lead, for the congregation has assembled to follow you. So, the Imam will lead the Prayer. After the salutation, Jesus will say, "Open the gate;" so the gate will be opened. Outside there will be the Dajjal along with 70,000 of the armed Jews. As soon as he will look at Jesus (upon whom be peace) he will start melting like the salt in water, and will flee. Jesus will say, "I shall strike you a blow which will not let you live." And he will overtake him at the eastern gate of Lod, and Allah will cause the Jews to be defeated.... And the earth will be so filled with the Muslims as a vessel is filled with water. The entire world shall recite and follow one and the same Kalimah(word) and none shall be worshipped except Allah." (Ibn Majah).
- The Dajjal would be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan (in Iran) wearing Persian shawls.
- How will you be when the Son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you and he will judge people by the law of the Quran and not by the law of Gospel. (Bukhari)
- By Him in Whose Hand is my life, Ibn Maryam (Jesus Christ) would certainly pronounce Talbiyah for Hajj or for Umrah or for both (simultaneously as a Qarin) in the valley of Rawha.(Muslim)
- Narrated Umm Sharik: I heard Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) said: The people would run away from the Dajjal seeking shelter in the mountains. She said: Where would be the Arabs then on the day? He said: They would be small in number.
- The Last Hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
NOTE
B A place at a distance of 35 miles from Madinah.
D Lod (Lydda) is situated 13 miles south-east of Tel-Aviv, Capital of Israel, and is the most important airport of the country.
E Afiq (mod. Fiq) is the last Syrian city on the border between Syria and Israel. A little further on towards west at a few miles is the Lake Tiberias (Sea of Galilea), the source of River Jordan. Towards the south-west in the mountains is a low pass, which descends about 2,000 feet to the point from where River Jordan comes out from Lake Tiberias. This same mountain path is called 'Aqabah Afiq the pass of Afiq'.
Dalam hadits Nawwas bin Sam’an yang panjang yang membicarakan kemunculan Dajjal dan turunnya Isa alaihissalam, Rasulullah shalallahu alaihi wasallam bersabda:
“Ketika Allah telah mengutus al-Masih Ibnu Maryam, maka turunlah ia di menara putih di sebelah timur Damsyik dengan mengenakan dua buah pakaian yang dicelup dengan waras dan zafaran, dan kedua telapak tangannya diletakkannya di sayap dua Malaikat; bila ia menundukkan kepala maka menurunlah rambutnya, dan jika diangkatnya kelihatan landai seperti mutiara. Maka tidak ada orang kafir pun yang mencium nafasnya kecuali pasti meninggal dunia, padahal nafasnya itu sejauh mata memandang. Lalu Isa mencari Dajjal hingga menjumpainya di pintu Lud, lantas dibunuhnya Dajjal hingga menjumpainya di pintu Lud, lantas dibunuhnya Dajjal. Kemudian Isa datang kepada suatu kaum yang telah dilindungi Allah dari Dajjal, lalu Isa mengusap wajah mereka dan memberi tahu mereka tentang darjat mereka di syurga.” (Shahih Muslim, Kita Al-Fitan wa Asyrathis Sa’ah, Bab Dzikr Ad-Dajjal 18:67-68)
Aus bin Aus Ats-Tsaqafi meriwatkan bahwa Rasulullah shalallhu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda, “‘Isa bin Maryam akan turun di Menara Putih sebelah timur Kota Damsyik.” (HR Thabrani)
Menurut Ibnu Katsir Nabi Isa akan turun disisi menara sebelah timur Masjid Jamik Umawi iaitu di sebelah timur Damaskus/Damsyik. Menara tersebut telah diperbaiki pada zaman Ibnu Katsir iaitu pada tahun 741 Hijrah. Pembiayaanya diambil dari harta orang-orang Nasrani yang sebelumnye telah membakar menara tersebut.
Sifat Dan Rupa Nabi Isa Alaihissalam
Adapun sifat-sifatnya maka Nabi kita saw telah menyatakan bahawa Isa adalah laki-laki berperawakan sedang tidak tinggi tidak pendek, berwajah bulat, berkulit kemerah-merahan, berdada lapang, orang yang paling mirip dengannya adalah Urwah bin Mas’ud ast-Tsaqafi.
