The Dajjaal... Ubadah bin Saamit (R.A.) says, Rasulullah(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) once said, I have explained Dajjal to you,but I fear that you might not have understood. Maseeh Dajjal will be short, andhis legs will be crooked. The hair on his head will be extremely twisted. Hewill have one eye (with which he can see, and this is the protruding eye aboutwhich other ahadeeth inform us), while hisother eye will be totally flat. It will neither be deep (in its socket) norprotruding. If you still have any doubt regarding him thenremember that your Sustainer (Rabb) is not one-eyed. (Because Dajjal willeventually claim to be Allah). In a lengthy Hadeeth narrated by Abu Saeed(R.A.), Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is reported to have said:Dajjal will come but it will be prohibited and impossible for him toenter Madina. He will set up camp in a barren land outside Madina. One personwho will be the best of persons will confront him by saying: I bearwitness that you are the very Dajjal about whom Rasulullah (Sallallahu AlayhiWasallam) has informed us. Dajjal will say to his followers, If I kill thisperson and then revive him will you people still doubt me? They will reply, No. He will then kill this person, (according to anothernarration he will split this person in two) and thereafter revive him. Thisperson will say, I am now totally convinced more than ever before thatyou definitely are Dajjal. Dajjal will attempt to kill this person again but hisefforts will now be in vain. (According to a Hadeeth after this incident,Dajjal will not be able to harm anyone). Hadhrat Anas (R.A.) says that Rasulullah (SallallahuAlayhi Wasallam) said: Dajjal will come and finally reach the outskirtsof Madina. There will be three tremors. At that time all the disbelievers andhypocrites will flee (from Madina). In this way Madina Munawwarah will be purified of allthe evil hypocrites. Hadhrat Asma bint Yazeed (R.A.) narrates thatRasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) once came to my house and there hespoke about Dajjal. He said that before the emergence of Dajjal there will bethree spells of drought. In one year the skies will withhold one third of itsrains, causing the earth to withhold one third of its produce. In the secondyear the skies will withhold two thirds of its rain causing the earth towithhold two thirds of its produce. In the third year the skies will withholdall its water and there will be no crops that year. All animals, be they hoovedor toothed will die as a result. The greatest evil of Dajjal will be toapproach anyone and ask him: If I bring your camel back to life, will youthen believe that I am your Rabb? This person will reply, mostcertainly. Thereafter Shaytaan (from the many Shayateen who will alwaysaccompany Dajjal) will appear before this person in the form of his camel witha fat hump and fully laden udders. Likewise Dajjal will appear before another personwhose father and brother have long passed away and ask him, If I bringyour father and brother back to life will you believe that I am yourRabb? The person will reply, Why not? Shaytaan will one againtake on the appearance of his brother and father... (Ahmad) Hadhrat Mughira ibn Shu’ba (R.A.) says that, Noone asked Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) about Dajjal as much asmyself. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said to me, How can hepossibly harm you? I said: People are saying that he will have withhim a mountain of bread (provisions) and a river of water. Rasulullah(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: In the sight of Allah he is much moredisgraced than that. (i.e. Allah knows full well that in reality Dajjal hasnothing with him, and all that which appears to be with him is but deception). (Bukhari and Muslim) Other Ahadeeth regarding Dajjal inform us that: Hewill emerge between Shaam and Iraq, and his emergence will become known when heis in Isfahaan at a place called Judea; (Yahudea) He will be of Jewish origin; The Jews of Isfahaan will be his main followers; Apartfrom having mainly Jewish followers he will have a great number of womenfollowers as well; He will have with him fire and water, but in reality thefire will be cold water, while that what appears to be cold water will inreality be a blazing fire; Those who obey him will enter his Jannat’while those who disobey him will enter his Jahannam; There will be a thickfingernail-like object in his left eye; The letters KaaFaa Raa will appear on his forehead and will bedeciphered by all Mu’mineen regardless of them being literate or not; He willhave a wheatish complexion; He will travel at great speeds and his means ofconveyance will be a gigantic mule. It is said that he will play beautifulMusic which will attract the music lovers. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) has exhortedthe regular recital of Suratul Kahf which will most certainly save one from theEvils of Dajjal. Dajjal will lay claim to Prophethood. He will then lay claim to Divinity. He will perform unusual feats. He will travel the entire world. He will send downrains upon those who believe in him, which in turn will cause good crops togrow, trees to bear fruit and cattle to grow fat. He will cause drought to those who disbelieve in him,causing starvation and hardship for them. During those trying times the Mu’mineen will satiatetheir hunger through the recitation of Subhan Allaah and La’ilalha llallahu.The hidden treasures of the earth will spill forth at his command. He will stayon this Earth for a period of forty days; the length of the first day will beone year, the second day will be equal to one month, the third day will beequal to a week and the remaining days will be normal. He will be unable to enter Makkah because the Malaikahwill be guarding the Holy City and nor will he be able to enter Madina becausethere will be Malaikah guarding each of the seven entrances to Madina; FromMadina he will proceed towards Shaam where Imaam Mahdi will be stationed; Finally Eesa (A.S.) will descend from the heavens andpursue him and eventually kill him at Baab Lud.
