Quote: The messiah will create world peace, gather all of Israel from all corners of the earth, etc.
first of all, Messiah is the name we call for Jesus. Is that strange for you?
We call him Messiah Issa Bin Mariam.
Second, I told you what they were saying to Arabs of Madina at that time. We are waiting for the last prophet. It was mentioned in the bible and other books but the Jews removed it.
It was written that there will be "last prophet after Jesus". Quran mention this story of Jesus saying to Israel there will be another prophet after me.
Jews came to Prophet Muhammad and asked him questions, to check if he was the last prophet, and Muhammad (peace be upon him) answered them all.
Questions were about for example, the Human creation at womb, but they insisted to disbelieve in him.
What is awaited Messiah for Jews? I think you have answered that, but you , maybe, don't know that Muslims
also have awaited Messiah?
But our awaited Messiah is not what Jews believe in, ours is the
same Jesus (Issa Bin Mariam).
I think you have in you bible , that a man will show up claiming he is the Messiah and you call him
"the Lair". That what I have been told by Christian friend.
Again, we believe in "the lair" but he is not going to claim that he is Jesus; he is going to claim that he is "God". And for "the lair", Juses
* going back to kill him. Jesus also going to rule the earth and spread peace all over it, not peace for Jews and collecting them, as we believe.
There is a very long story about the lair and the awaited Messiah. But we have been told that place that the awaited Messiah is coming back, which is not Madina.
From the words above, you can see we are not separated part from Jews and Christians, our religion is not like the Hindu or Buddhists , our believe are very close to you, we believe in the same events and characters (although with different stories sometimes)
*Jesus in of Islam was never crossed, but the man who betrayed him, God made him looks like Jesus. (there was a cross event, but it wasn't Jesus). God took Jesus up to the sky and he is coming back after several events (awaited Messaih). It could be close.

What word or words do you have in Arabic for prophet?
edit/added:
we have 1 word for prophet and another for Messenger.
1-Nabi (prophet)
I have forgotten to tell you that Messiah is an Arabic word (it means something like scanning) and is not a name. I don't know if there is also such a word in Hebrew.
The Lair is also called Messiah in Islam. Both Jesus and Lair were called Messiah for different reasons of course.
First one Messiah Issa Bin Mariam
Second one Messiah "Dagal"
Lair in Arabic = Dagal/Kazab/etc…
