Who Is The Dajjal?

NS 39

"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),

Hypocrites and people weak in faith.

Timeline

How the Mahdi, Dajjal, and Jesus’ Events Match the Christian "Tribulation" Idea

The Mahdi Appears:

He rises during a time of great chaos and conflict.

He restores justice and leads the Muslims.

Similar to the Christian idea of God's remnant being gathered during tribulation chaos.

The Dajjal Emerges:

Appears during Mahdi's time — a major trial for humanity.

Claims to be divine, deceives many with fake miracles.

Matches the Christian Antichrist figure — deception, false signs, and control over the world.

Jesus (Isa عليه السلام) Returns:

Descends from Heaven (at the White Minaret in Damascus, according to Hadith).

Breaks the cross, kills the Dajjal, and restores true monotheism.

Matches the Christian belief of Jesus returning at the end of the Tribulation to defeat evil.

Final Period:

Peace and justice fill the Earth after the Dajjal’s defeat.

Jesus rules for a period of time (Islam teaches 40 years after descent).

Matches the Christian "Millennium" concept of peace after Jesus' return (though details differ).

Final Simple Explanation

The Dajjal = the Antichrist (in the sense that he’s the final world deceiver).

Islam gives more detailed physical description.

Christianity gives more focus on political-religious corruption.

Both agree: Jesus (Isa عليه السلام) will destroy him personally!
