Bismillah
Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah. As-Salaam Alaikum
Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu.
Praise
be to Allaah; we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah
from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides
will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can
guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that
Muhammad (Sallalahu Alaihi WA Salam) is His slave and Messenger.
CHAPTER THREE
4.0 DAJJAL[1]
The
emergence of the Dajjal is the most important sign as his trial and Fitna will
be the biggest ever seen on the Face of the earth and even those firm in faith
will be shaken.
The
Messenger of Allah said, "Between the creation of Prophet Adam and the
coming of the last hour, their will arise no matter more serious than the
Dajjal." (Imran-b-Hussain/ Muslim)
Due
to the severity of this turmoil, every Prophet from the first to the last
warned and informed his people about, the Dajjal and his turmoil. (Anas /
Bukhari, Muslim)
The
Dajjal will appear once the Muslim army, have conquered Constantinople and
reached Syria. Emerging from the east, moving from city to city he will perform
unusual feat and cause Fitna wherever he goes. Before we move onto his trials
many important questions need to be answered. 'Is he alive?' 'Which signs will
precede him?' 'How will we recognize him?' and so forth.
The story of Hadrat
Tamim Dari and the Dajjal
The
story of Tamim Dari which follows, answers the first and most important
question, is the Dajjal alive? And whether Hadrat Tamim Dari and his companions
have seen him when they were thrown by the waves on to some remote Island.
Fatimah-bint-Qais
reported, "I heard the proclaimer of the Messenger of Allah proclaiming
(for) 'Congregational Prayer'. I went to the mosque and prayed with the Prophet
(Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salaam). When he finished his prayer, he sat upon the
pulpit smiling and said, 'Let every man remain in his seat.' He then asked, 'Do
you know why I have called you together?' They replied, 'Allah and his
Messenger know best.' The Prophet (Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salaam) said, 'By Allah,
I have not called you together for hope or for fear, I have called you together
because Tamim ad- Dari who was a Christian, came and embraced Islam.
He
narrated a story to me, which agreed with the account I had given to you about
the Dajjal. He informed me that he had embarked upon a sea-boat with thirty men
of Lakhm and Jozam. Then the sea waves played with them for a month and threw
them on to an island when the sun was about to set. They sat in a small side
boat and landed on the Island. A beast with very coarse hair met them. They
could not tell its front from its back due to its excessive hair. They asked,
'Woe to thee! Who art thou?" It replied, 'I am a spy. Go to this man in
the monastery, as he is eager to receive the information you bring.
'
Tamim Dari said, 'When it named a man for us, we fled away from it lest it
might be the devil. Then we hurriedly went on until we entered the monastery
and found a big-bodied man whom we had never seen before. He was firmly tied
up, his hands tied to his neck, the place between his knees, and joints tied up
with iron chains.' We asked, 'Woe to thee! What are thou?' He replied, 'You
have the power to get my information. Inform me about yourselves.
‘They
replied, 'We are people from Arabia, we embarked upon a sea boat, but the sea
waves played with us for a month and threw us onto this island. A beast of
coarse hairs met us and said, 'I am a spy. Go to the man in the monastery.' So
we approached you hurriedly. He asked, 'Tell me about the trees of Baisan. Do
they bear fruit?.' 'Yes' We replied. He said, 'Behold! Soon they will not yield
fruit.' He asked, 'Inform me of the lake of Tiberias. Is there water in it?' We
replied, 'It is full of water.' He informed us, 'Soon its water will
disappear.' He then asked, 'Inform me of the fountain of Zugara. Is there water
in it and do its inhabitants irrigate with the water of the fountain?' 'Yes, it
is full of water and its inhabitants irrigate from its water. He asked, 'Inform
me of the Prophet of the illiterates. What does he do?' We said, 'He has just
come out of Makkah and gone to Yathrib.' He asked, 'Have the Arabs fought with
him?' 'Yes' We replied. He asked, 'How did he treat them' We informed him that
he had got the upper hand of those of the Arabs who opposed him and they obeyed
him. He said, 'Behold! It is better for them if they obey him. As for myself I
am certainly the Anti-Christ and it is near that an order will be passed for me
to come out. I shall then come out and travel the world. I shall leave no village
at which I shall not land within 40 nights except Makkah and Taibah, which will
be forbidden to me. Whenever I wish to enter one of the two, an angel with a
sword in his hand will encounter me and prevent me therefrom. There will be
angels on every side to guard it. The apostle of Allah struck his pulpit with
his staff and said, 'This is Taibah meaning Madinah. Behold! Did I not tell
you?' 'Yes' they replied. 'Behold, he is in the Syrian sea or sea of Yemen; no,
rather he is from the eastern direction. He then pointed out with his hand
towards the East.' (Muslim)
Signs that will
precede him (Dajjal); the coming of Imaam Mahdi
In
light of many Ahadith the Ulama of the Ahlus-Sunnah are of the opinion that
Imaam Mahdi will come before the Dajjal and the Dajjal will appear in the later
parts of Imaam Mahdi's reign.
The Great Famine
There
will be a famine for three years before his appearance. In the first year of
the famine the heaven will withhold one third of its rain and the earth one
third of its crops. In the second year of the famine heaven will withhold two
thirds of its rain and the earth will withhold two thirds of its crops. In the
third year there will not be a single drop of rain and not a single thing will
grow and thus all the animals with hoofs and biting teeth will die and the
Tasbeeh will suffice the believers hunger. (Asma-b-Yauzeed-Mishkat)
Dajjal's parents
His
father will be tall and thin and his nose will be pointed like a beak while his
mother will be fat with two long hands. They will both remain thirty years
without a child. After thirty years a one eyed son with biting teeth and of
little benefit will be born to them whose heart will remain awake while his
eyes will sleep. (Abu-Bakara-Tirmidhi)
General signs that
will precede Dajjal
From
the hadith of Umme Shareek which can be found in Muslim we could conclude the
Arabs will be less in numbers. At the same time we can conclude from the hadith
of Jabir-b-Abdullah which can be found in An-Nihaya that religious learning
will be at a low and very few people will be aquainted with religious
principles and doctrines and thus ignorance will prevail.
Signs in the Dajjal;
Dajjal's Physical description
The
Dajjal is a young (Nawwas-b-Samaan / Muslim) fat (Ibne-Umar / Bukhari /1
Muslim) man, wheatish (Abdullab-b-Mugaffal / Kanzul-Ummal) in complexion with a
broad chest (Abu Huraira / Musnad Ahmad) and biting teeth. Resembling Abdul
Uzzah bin Qatad from the tribe of Khuza'a his head is covered (Hudaifah /
Muslim) with curly hair (Nawwas-b-Samaan / Muslim) with the letters "Ka'
"Fa" "Ra'' (Hudaifah / Muslim) written between his eyes which
every believer will be able to clearly see and read literate or illiterate, he
has a shining forehead (Abu Huraira / Musnad Ahmad) and defect in both eyes.
His left eye has a swelling pupil (Hudaifah / Muslim) while he is blind (Ibne
Umar / Bukhari / Muslim) from the right. He has a brisk walk (Ubiadah / Abu
Daud) and no children (Abu Saeed al-Khudri / Muslim)
Dajjal's Emergence
Conquering
Constantinople with Takbir, the Muslims will begin to take the booty. While
they are distributing the war possessions a proclaimer will proclaim that the
Dajjal has appeared and causing Fitna in your homes. On hearing this cry the
Muslims will leave the booty and head towards Syria (Abu Huraira / Muslim). It
will come to their knowledge that this was a false rumour. However after
reaching Syria the Dajjal will truly emerge. He will come out from a road
between Syria and Iraq (Nawwas-b-Samaan / Muslim) and his emergence will become
known in Isfahan (Anas / Al-Fathur-Rabbani) at a place called Yahoodah. Riding
a white ass (Abu Huraira / Baihaqi), the two ears of which will be forty hands
apart, 70,000 Jew's of Isfahan will follow him with hoods on their heads. Also
accompanied by Devils (Jabir-b-Abdullah / An-Nihayah) and Jewish magicians
(Ibne Abbas / Kanzul-Umaal) he will first claim Prophethood 8 and then God
hood. Travelling as fast as those clouds which are driven by the winds he will
travel to east and west entering every country, carrying out murders, pillage,
devastation and performing unusual feats wherever he goes.
Dajjal's Turmoil;
Dajjal's Deception
Two
angels resembling two Prophets, one on either side will accompany him. This
will be to test mankind. Hence Dajjal will ask, "Am I not your lord? Do I
not give life and death?" One of the angels will reply, "You are a
liar." However nobody will be able to hear this reply besides the other
angel. The second angel addressing the first angel will say, "You are
speaking the truth." Everybody will hear what this second angel said and
will think that an angel is testifying that the Dajjal is Allah though in
reality this second angel was addressing the first and agreeing with his reply
that you are speaking the truth that the Dajjal is certainly a liar. (Narrated
by Safeena-Musnad Ahrnad)
He
will come to a Bedouin whose parents have passed away and will say to him,
"Will you believe that I am your Lord if I bring your parents back to
life." He will reply, "Yes." The devils that are accompanying
him will take the form of his parents and after resembling his parents will say
to him, "Oh child believe in him and follow him, he is your Lord.' The
Bedouin will be deceived and forced into believing him. (Abu Umamah/Ibne Majah)
He
will come to another Bedouin and say, "Will you believe in me as your Lord
if I bring your camel back to life?" "Yes", he will reply. He
will make a figure for him like his camel, which will have a beautiful odour
and a big hump. (Asma-b-Yazeed /Mishkat)
He
will have water and fire with him. As for that which the people will see as
water, in reality will be fire, which will burn and as for that which people
will see as fire, in reality will be cold, sweet water. The Prophet's advice
is: "Whoever meets the Dajjal and sees the water and the fire, he should
fall in the fire and not the water, as the fire in reality is water and the
water in reality is fire.'' (Hudaifah/Mishkat)
Believers
in Allah will face hardship while The believers in Dajjal will temporarily
rejoice
He
will come to people and tell them he is Allah and they will believe him. The
sky on his order will pour rain and the earth will grow crops for these people.
Their animals will graze on his land and return to them in the evening with
large udders and their flanks full. He will then proceed to some other people
and call them but they will refuse to believe him. Without forcing them he will
leave and carry on with his mission. However, when these true believers wake up
in the morning they will find that they are penniless and all their properties
have been destroyed. (Nawwas-b-Samaan/Muslim)
The
Earth will disclose treasure at his command
Passing
by a place in ruins, he will order it to take out its hidden treasure. The
earth will immediately take out its hidden treasure. The earth will immediately
take out its treasure and the treasure will literally follow him wherever he
goes like bees following the queen bee. (Nawwas-b-Samaan/Muslim)
Dajjal faces
Opposition
On
hearing about the Dajjal a true believer will head towards him. However, on the
way he will be stopped by Dajjal's soldiers and asked where he is intending to
go. Replying that he is going to meet the person who claims that he is Allah,
the soldiers doubting him will ask, ''Do you not believe in our Lord
(Dajjal)?'' He will reply there is nothing hidden about our Lord Allah so how
can I take Dajjal as my Lord. Angry at his reply they will decide to kill him.
But all of a sudden one of them will say, ''Hasn't our Lord (Dajjal) prohibited
us from killing anyone without his permission?" Thus they will take him to
the Dajjal. On seeing the Dajjal he will shout, "O people this is the
Dajjal the Prophet (Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salaam) mentioned and warned the
believers of". Dajjal will order to kill him. He will be placed on his
belly and severely beaten. He will be asked, "Do you still not believe in
him?" "No! You are the lying Dajjal" he will reply. The true
believer will then be sawn into two pieces, the Dajjal will walk in between the
two pieces and address him, "Stand up." The true believer will become
alive and stand up in one piece. Yet again he will be asked, "Do you now
believe in me?" He will reply, "It has only added to my insight
concerning you that you are really the Dajjal." The believer will then
proclaim, "O people he will not be able to do anything to any man after
me." The Dajjal angry at his refusal will grab hold of him and place a
knife between his neck and throat to slaughter him but he will be unsuccessful
as Allah will place copper in that area and the knife will find no way to
penetrate. The Dajjal will grab hold of his hands and legs and throw him into
the fire. However, the fire will turn into a pleasant garden for him. This
person will be the greatest martyr in the eyes of Allah and achieve the highest
position due to his first death, which was caused by severance of the body in
two pieces.(Abu Saeed al-Khudri /Muslim)
Dajjal's Trickery
Doctors
and surgeons are not able to restore the eyesight of those born blind or cure
the leper. Dajjal will be able to cure those born blind, restore their eyesight
and cure the leper. (Abdullah-b-Mugaffal-Kanzul-Unimal)
Dajjal's Greed
He
will have a mountain of bread with him but he will only give bread to those
that believe and follow him. (Jabir-b-Abdullah-An-Nihaya)
Dajjal Lures the
Women
The
Dajjal will make a stop at a place called Markanat, near Taif. On hearing about
his arrival the womenfolk will rush towards him, the men will be forced to tie
their mothers, daughters, and sisters fearing they will believe in him and get
caught up in fitna. (Ibne Umar-Musnad Ahmad)
Safe Haven of Makkah
and Madinah
The
Dajjal will remain on earth for 40 days, the first of which will be a yearlong,
second a month, the third a week, and the remaining 37 days like our normal
days, moving from city to another causing Fitna (Nawwas-b-Samaan / Muslim).
Finally he will proceed towards Makkah and Madina (Fatimah-b-Qais / Muslim) but
he will be unable to enter these holy cities, Masjid Tur and Masjid al-Aqsa
(Junaid-b-umaiya / Al-Fathur-Rabbani). Every time he tries to enter these holy
places, angels guarding these holy cities with swords in their hand will
encounter him and chase him away, leaving Dajjal stationed behind Uhud
(Abu-Huraira / Bukhari). Meanwhile, earthquakes will hit Madinah thrice and all
the hypocrites will be forced to leave (Amr-b-Sufyan / Ad-Darrul-Manthur).
Death
Losing
hope of entering these holy places, Dajjal will turn towards Syria. Imaam Mahdi
will already have arranged a Muslim army and will be on the verge of leading
the Muslims in Morning Prayer when Prophet Jesus will descend and Kill the
Dajjal. (Usamah / Ibne Majah)
Protection from
Dajjal; Reciting of Surah - Kahf
The
recitation of Surah Kahf is a safe guard from the Dajjal's turmoil. The Prophet
(Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salaam) said, "Whoever memorizes the first ten verses
of Surah Kahf will be safe from the Dajjal's Fitna." (Abu-Darda / Muslim)
The
Prophet (Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salaam) said, 'Whoever meets the Dajjal amongst
you then he should recite the opening verse of Surah Kahf onto him."
(Nawwas-b-Samaan / Muslim)
Seeking refuge in
Allah
Whoever
seeks Allah's refuge and protection from Dajjal's Fitna especially in Salah, In
shallah will be protected.
The
Prophet (Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salaam) would pray in Salah, "Oh Allah
protect me from the punishment of the grave and protect me from Dajjal's
Fitna." (Aisha / Bukhari / Muslim)
Staying miles apart
When
the Dajjal appears one should stay as far away from him as possible. The
Prophet said, "Those who hear about the Dajjal should stay far from him.
By Allah! A person will approach him thinking him to be a believer, but on
seeing his amazing feats he will become his follower." (Imran-b-Hussain /
Abu Daud)
Safe Haven of Makkah
and Madinah
One
should try to migrate to Makkah or Madinah, as he will not be able to enter
these two holy cities. Thus one will be protected from his Fitna.
(Fatimah-b-Qais / Muslim)
Knowledge of Allah's
Attributes
One
should seek Islamic knowledge especially knowledge of Allah's attributes. By
possessing knowledge of Allah's attributes one will not be misled by the
Dajjal. This knowledge teaches that Allah is perfect, can't be seen, and not in
need of anything while the Dajjal is imperfect, can be seen by both believers
and non-believers and in need of food and water.
