Who Is The Dajjal?
C7 
- "Dajjal" (الدجّال) literally means "the Great Deceiver" or "the Liar" in Arabic.
- He is a real human being — not a system, not a symbol.
- He will be the greatest fitnah (trial/test) ever faced by humanity.
- He will claim to be the Messiah (like Jesus), then claim to be God.
- He will perform fake miracles — healing the sick, raising the dead (by tricks or jinn help).
- He will control food, water, and wealth — and use them to force people to follow him.
- He will travel the entire Earth quickly, spreading deception everywhere.
- He will appear before the Final Hour (close to the end of times).
What the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said about Dajjal
- Appearence: He is young, ruddy (red-faced).
- He is one-eyed — one eye is defective (it looks like a bulging grape).
- The word كفر (K-F-R) meaning "disbeliever" will be written on his forehead —
every believer (even if illiterate) will be able to read it.
- "The Dajjal is blind in the right eye, and his eye is like a floating grape."
— (Sahih Muslim 2934)
- Location: He is currently alive but hidden.
- He will emerge from the East, likely near Khorasan (Iran-Afghanistan area).
-
Power: He will command the sky to rain and the earth to grow food.
- He will travel rapidly, like "wind-driven rain" (fast movement like planes or tech today?).
-
He will create illusions — heaven and hell (his hell will be the real heaven, and vice versa).
- Followers: Many people will follow him, including:
- The ignorant,The greedy,
- Many from the Jews of Isfahan (a city in Iran — Hadith mentions 70,000 will follow him),
