Who is Dajjal?
By: Maulana Imran Nazar Husain (Trinidad)
“We shall confound their (Jews) hearts and eyes in consequence of their previous rejection of this (message). And We shall leave them in their obstinate rejection (of this revealed Truth), to wander in distraction (or to live in a state of aimlessness and drift).” (The Holy Qur’an, al-An’am, 6:110)
[I.e. We shall confound their Jewish hearts and eyes in consequence of their previous rejection of this message when, among other things, they rejected the Messiah, son of the Virgin Mary.]
Jesus (A.S.) The Messiah
Prophets of Allah Most High communicated to Banu Israil a divine promise to send to them a Prophet who would be their Prophet, who would be known as the Messiah, and who would rule from the throne of Prophet Dawood (David) (‘alaihi al-Salaam) in Jerusalem, Palestine.
Two Conflicting Portriats of the Messaih
The Jews were very pleased to receive the news of this Promised Messiah. But they were confused by the fact that there was a two-fold picture that presented two conflicting portraits of him and his mission. The first was that of a conquering King who would restore the Jews to the Holy Land of Palestine. The second was a Isa Masih (Messiah) who was humble and suffering. The two apparently conflicting portraits were clearly depicted in Isaiah who described the Isa Masih (Messiah) as a ‘Servant of the Lord’ who would prosper, be lifted up and greatly exalted.
As unthinkable as it was, Isaiah prophesied that the ‘Servant’ would be struck on both back and face. He would be humiliated by being spat upon the face (Isaiah, 50:4-11). This is precisely what happened to Jesus (A.S.). A Christian writer, Hal Lindsey,comments on the event as follows and goes on to declare that it confirmed the prophecy in Isaiah 52:13 and 53:12: “It is well known that this is the kind of treatment that Jesus received from Jews during the six illegal trials to which he was subjected.
This prophecy was interpreted to have not only declared the tribe through which the Messiah would come. Rabbinic interpretation from ancient times recognized ‘Shiloh’ as a personal title of the Messiah. But Shiloh was Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.).
Two thousand years ago, when Allah Most High kept his promise and sent the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, to Jews living in Palestine, he found them holding on to the external ‘form’ of religion while woefully neglecting its ‘internal’ substance. Even the ‘external’ form was corrupted since they had changed it and rewritten it to suit their own fancies. When Jesus confirmed that he was indeed the Promised Messiah, and when he fearlessly preached the ‘internal’ substance of religion and denounced the corruption of the ‘external’ form, few Jews accepted him and believed in him but most of them rejected him. The Jews still continue to reject Jesus (A.S.) as the Messiah to this day.
The Holy Qur’an declared that they boasted (at that time) of having killed him (by crucifixion): “That they said (in boast): We killed the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah… ” (The Holy Qur’an, al-Nisa, 4:157)
When they (Jews) saw him (Jesus)‘die’ on the cross before their very eyes it was conclusively confirmed to them that he was an impostor. They were convinced that he could not have been the Messiah since the Torah itself had declared that whoever died by hanging was the ‘cursed’ of Allah, Most High (Deuteronomy, 21:23).
Secondly, he could not have been the Messiah because he died without liberating the Holy Land of Palestine from the pagan Roman rule, and he did not rule the world from the throne of Prophet David (‘alaihi al-Salaam) (i.e., Jerusalem).
And so rejected Jesus as their Messaih (Saviour)they kept on waiting for their Messiah to come. Every Jew who rejected Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salaam) as the Messiah and kept on waiting since then for the Messiah to come is indirectly implicated in the attempt to crucify him. This is so because their rejection of his claim to be the Messiah is linked to the death that they believe he experienced.
But Allah Most High declared that the Jews were deceived into believing that Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salaam) was killed or crucified: “…. and they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.” (The Holy Qur’an, al-Nisa, 4:157)
The Holy Qur’an responds with an emphatic declaration of the ‘humanity’ of both Jesus and Mary: “The Messiah, the son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger (of Allah). Many were the Messengers who passed away before him. His mother was a woman of integrity and truth. They both ate food. Notice how We make signs clear to them (i.e. they who blaspheme by claiming that God is a Trinity, that Jesus is also God, and that Mary is also God). And then notice how they remain deluded away from the Truth.” (The Holy Qur’an, al-Maidah, 5:75)
With one startling declaration “They both ate food” the Qur’an dismisses any notion that Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salaam) and Mary could have been anything but human.
The Holy Qur’an also declares of Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salaam) that he was no more than a servant and slave (of Allah, Most High): “Oh People of the Scriptures (i.e. Christians and Jews), do not commit excesses in your religion; nor say of Allah aught but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He cast on Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not Trinity, desist, it will be better for you. For Allah is One God. Glory be to Him. (Far exalted is He) above having a son…”
(The Holy Qur’an, al-Nisa, 4:171)
“Surely he (Jesus) was no more than an ‘abd (slave, servant) (of Allah)…” (The Holy Qur’an, al-Zukhruf, 43:59)
Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salaam) Will Return
The Holy Qur’an emphatically declared that Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salaam) did not die (i.e., he was neither killed, nor was he crucified). It further declared that he was raised unto Allah, the Most High. And since the Holy Qur’an declared that every soul (including Jesus) must taste death (Maut), it follows that Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salaam) must return and experience death like every other human being.
This verse therefore clearly established the Divine plan that Jesus would one day return and that this event would occur prior to his death.
“And there is none from the People of the Book (i.e., not a single Jew who rejects Jesus as the Messiah and Prophet of Allah, and not a single Christian who insists that Jesus must be worshipped as God and as son of God) but must believe in him (Jesus) before his death (i.e., before the death of Jesus). And on the Day of Judgment he (Jesus) will be a witness against them.” (The Holy Qur’an, al-Nisa, 4:159)
Hence on that day with the advent and reappearance of Jesus along with Imam al-Mahdi (A.S.) every Jew will have to accept Jesus as the Messiah and believe in him, and every Christian will have to abandon belief in Jesus as the ‘son of God’ and the third person in a divine trinity.
Indeed the return of Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salaam) is one of the ten major Signs of the End Time mentioned by the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.).
“And surely he (i.e., Jesus) is the Sign of the Hour”. (The Holy Qur’an, al-Zukhraf, 43:61)
The various Ahadith of Sahih Bukhari that have come from four different sources, Abu Hurairah, Zainab bint Jahsh, Umm Salama, and Abdullah ibn Abbas (ra), are quite explicit in revealing that the release of Gog and Magog took place in the lifetime of the Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa-sallam).
We now have the explanation for the two conflicting portraits of the Messiah in the scriptures – the first a meek and humble Messiah who would suffer immensely, and the other a mighty conqueror. When Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salaam) returns he would fulfill the second portrait of him.
But Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) went on to reveal that prior to the return of Jesus (‘alaihi al-Salaam) Allah Most High would release a False Messiah (al-Masih al-Dajjal) into the world in the Last Age.
The greatest dream of the Jews for more than 2000 years has been the dream of returning to the Holy Land of Palestine as rulers over the land so that they might restore the State established by the Prophet-Kings, David (‘alaihi al-Salaam) and Solomon (‘alaihi al-Salaam), rebuild the Temple that was built by Solomon (‘alaihi al-Salaam) in Jerusalem.
But such a dream cannot be fulfilled through the creation of an essentially godless Zionist State through a reign of terror and oppression in the Holy Land of Palestine that has now lasted for more than 60 bloodstained years. It is unlikely that the oppression can continue for another 50 years before they face the horrible consequences.
Now the Israelite-Jews all believed that their greatest dream could not and would not be fulfilled until that special Prophet called the Messiah would appear. He would “bring salvation at the end of the ages, when he would be enthroned as king of the world”. This reign of the Messiah is repeated elsewhere in the scriptures. (I Enoch: 45:3; 105:2; 28:29; 13:32–35; 14:9). Of course European Jews (Ashkenazi or Khazari Converted Jews) who established the Zionist Movement hardly share that sacred attachment to prophecies pertaining to the Messiah.
Allah Most High ordained that the False Messiah (al-Masih al-Dajjal) would deliver to the Jews by deception that which they would embrace as the fulfillment of their greatest dream, i.e., return to their Holy Land of Palestine restoration of the State of Prophet Kings Dawood and Sulaiman (A.S.).
The fact that the Jews in the world have been so utterly and completely deceived by the Impostor State of Israel is indicative of their continuing spiritual blindness: “But the deeds of those who disbelieve (in this Qur’an and this last Prophet – among other things) are like a mirage in sandy deserts which the man parched with thirst mistakes for water until when he comes up to it, he finds it to be nothing: but he finds Allah (present there) with him, and Allah will pay him his account: and Allah is swift in taking account.” (The Holy Qur’an, al-Nur, 24:39)
The Zionist State in the occupied Palestine is today in precisely that situation of the man who is parched for thirst and mistakes a mirage for water.
“Verily this Qur’an explains to the Israelites most of the matters in which they disagree. And it certainly is a Guide and a Mercy to those who believe.” (The Holy Qur’an, al-Naml, 27:76-7)
The ‘appearance’ today is that the ‘greatest dream’ of the Zionist Jews is almost completely fulfilled.The Zionist Jews have returned to the Holy Land of Palestine and the Zionist entity in occupied Palestine was created in 1948.
All that remains for the dream of the Zionist Jews to be completed is the appointment of their Messiah and the destruction of Masjid al-Aqsa to build the Solomon Temple in the place of Masjid al-Aqsa (the First Qibla of the Muslims).
The ‘reality’ of all of this, when viewed from Islam, is that Dajjal, the False Messiah, has deceived the Zionist Jews into believing that divine grace has brought them close to the complete fulfillment of their greatest dream. The ‘reality’ is that their spiritual blindness has led them into a divine trap from which there is now no escape the Zionist Jews.
The Zionists justify their own oppression and injustice to others. They do so on the grounds that they have a special status with the Divine Being that others do not have. Since they believe that the Holy Land of Palestine belongs to them, they also believe that they have the right to occupy it from those who lived on it for thousands of years. The ‘end’ justifies the ‘means’. The ‘reality’ is that the Zionist Jews have been misled and misguided and thoroughly deceived by False Messiah (al-Masih al-Dajjal).
The Riba that has embraced the economy around the world in fulfillment of the prophecy of the Holy Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) who declared that the age of Dajjal, the False Messiah, would be the age of universal Riba.
Dajjal, the False Messiah, is a being created by Allah Most High, who would impersonate the Messiah and deceive the Jews into believing that he is the true Messiah. The Christians know him as the Anti-Christ. Dajjal, will one day appear in the world as a human being. When he does so, he would be a Jew.
If Dajjal, the False Messiah, or Anti-Christ, is responsible for this grand deception of the Jews, and so much more, and if he is already released and already on earth and lives in the island of Britain as per Hadith of the Holy Prophet (SAW) mentioned in (Sahih, Muslim; Sunan, Tirmidhi). It is also important to note that the British have always excelled in spying, deception and espionage.
