WHO IS DAJJAL

In Islamic eschatology, the figure of the Dajjal, also known as the "false messiah" or "antichrist," is a figure who is believed to appear before the end of times. According to Islamic traditions, the Dajjal will be a deceiver who will claim to be the true messiah, and will try to lead people away from the true faith.

It is believed that the Dajjal will appear before the end of times, specifically before the day of judgment, and will be a major trial for the believers. He will be a deceiver and have supernatural powers, like the ability to perform miracles and heal the sick, but these will be illusions and false. He will also have one eye, which is usually symbolized as his deception. Many hadiths (saying of the prophet) describe him as being blind in one eye and some even mention that the letters ك ف ي (KF) will be written on his forehead which is often interpreted as Kafir (disbeliever)

The Dajjal will travel around the world, and will try to deceive as many people as possible by convincing them that he is the true messiah. He will be opposed by the true messiah, Jesus (Isa), who will return to the earth and defeat the Dajjal in a battle.

It is important to note that the concept of Dajjal is not specific to Islam, but is also present in other religions and belief systems. In Christianity, he is often referred to as the Antichrist, and in Jewish eschatology, he is known as the Meshiach ben Satan (Messiah, son of Satan).

In Islam, the belief in Dajjal is considered as one of the important belief in end of times and the day of judgment, and Muslims are encouraged to be aware of his deception and to hold fast to the true faith. The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also warned the believers to be aware and protect themselves from the deception of Dajjal by seeking refuge in Allah and to recite the last two Surahs (Chapter) of the Quran, the 'Ikhlas' and the 'Falaq'.

The coming of the Dajjal is considered to be one of the major signs of the end of times in Islam, but it is important to note that no one knows the exact time of his appearance, and Muslims are taught to be always prepared for the final day and to focus on living a good and virtuous life, rather than trying to predict the end of times.

Additionally, Muslims are also encouraged to keep themselves informed about the beliefs and teachings of the Dajjal and the way to protect themselves from his deception, as well as to share this knowledge with others. This can be done by reading the Qur'an and Hadiths, and studying the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Imams on the topic.

It is also important to note that the belief in the Dajjal should not be used as an excuse for fear or anxiety, but rather as a reminder to stay steadfast in one's faith and to continue to do good deeds in preparation for the day of judgment. Muslims are encouraged to maintain a balance between being aware of the signs of the end times and living a normal life, rather than becoming obsessed with trying to predict or prepare for the coming of the Dajjal.

Moreover, many Muslims believe that there are many signs of Dajjal's appearance that are happening currently in the world, like the spread of false and misleading information, the decline of traditional values and virtues, the rise of atheism and secularism, and the increase of global conflicts and natural disasters. However, It is important to note that none of these signs should be taken as definite proof of the Dajjal's appearance, but rather as a reminder to stay vigilant and to remain steadfast in one's faith.

In conclusion, the belief in the Dajjal is an important aspect of Islamic eschatology, but it should not be taken as a source of fear or anxiety. Instead, Muslims are encouraged to remain steadfast in their faith, to do good deeds, and to seek knowledge and understanding of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Imams on this topic. This way, one can be prepared for the final day and protect themselves from the deception of the Dajjal.

In Islamic tradition, the Dajjal is believed to be born in the city of Isfahan, located in present-day Iran. This belief is based on Hadith, or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), in which he is reported to have said that the Dajjal will be born in a place called Isfahan and that he will then travel to different parts of the world, deceiving people with his false claims and illusions.

It is important to note that some Muslim scholars have different opinions on this matter and some have argued that the Hadith mentioning the place of Dajjal's birth is not authentic or not clear about the meaning of Isfahan, it could refer to the city, a province or a land.

It is also important to remember that the belief in the Dajjal is not based on his place of birth, but rather on his role as a deceiver and false messiah who will appear before the end of times. Muslims are taught to be aware of his deception and to hold fast to the true faith, regardless of where he may be born.
