Since last few years the world has transformed dramatically in wake of the events which had had a devastating effect on the global politics. Although, similar events did occur in the past like World War \u2013 I & II, creation of Israel, emergence of New states, establishment of International Organizations etc, but these were never precisely analyzed and evaluated by Muslim scholars in the light of Prophetic traditions. In 1979, however, the Iranian Revolution and Iran-Iraq war did caught the attention of some scholars possessing profound knowledge of Hadith. Further in the 1990\u2019s events like, fall of Communism, invasion of Iraq and concentration of Allied Forces in Arab lands, etc alarmed lot of Muslims and redirected their attention towards Hadith knowledge, which enabled them to draw parallels between the Prophetic traditions foretelling the future events and the prevailing environments. Still the majority of Muslims remained unaware of these Prophetic traditions until the horrifying events of September 11 following which the global politics entered a new arena of terrorism, repression, injustices and barbarism which some how or the other, effects day to day lives of almost all the human beings living on the planet.
One of the most dramatic and illusive character mentioned in these Prophetic traditions is ofDajjal. A character which has been a source of discussions and controversies, which has been even denied and dismissed by some Muslims scholars and which will haunt others to search for its real concept. In the contemporary world of science and technology, the events once considered as miracles have become a routine. Therefore, it becomes much easier for most of us to understand the actual concept of Dajjal, but there will be others, who will remain altogether oblivious of this concept, for being Naturist and too much under the influence of Science and Technology, for them this concept is still inconceivable and incomprehensible. We can also get some perspective about (DAJJAL known as) \u201cTHE ANTI-CHRIST\u201d from Christian and Jewish sources as well, but scope of this paper will solely be restricted to all what Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told about DAJJAL, who happens to be the greatest Fitnah (Evil/Test) that would ever befall in the history of humankind.
Dajjal has been derived from the Arabic root word\u2018Dajl\u2019, meaning to deceive or deception or falsehood or intermingling truth with the falsehood to an extent, thus making it almost impossible to distinguish between the both. So anyone, who willingly deceives or stands for the falsehood can be termed as DAJJAL. A hadith Narrated by Hazrat Abu Huraria says that: The Prophet
that definition Dajjal should be a false Prophet. (It must be kept in mind that here the term 30 doesn\u2019t denote exactly 30 in number rather it indicates that numerous deceivers would falsify their claim to be a Prophet). But interestingly, in various other hadiths which mention of ultimate chaos, lawlessness, lust for wealth, indiscriminate killings, rape, injustices, adultery, deceit, etc along with so many other social evils, the concept of Dajjal appears to be of an evil system in place. In other words these hadiths explicates of a system promoting mass immorality (Homosexuality, Adultery, Fornication), Atheism, Devil-worship, broadening the net of usury (through banking), Intoxication (use of Alcohol & Drug abuse), increased crime, Injustice, Oppression, Fitnah of the Pen (understood as the means of communications/media like Pornography, nudity, magazines, films, TV, internet etc),
wars, Famine, Massacres/Genocide, Rape and suffering etc, etc on an immeasurable scale. Thus it can be concluded that once this system embroiled with all these evils (which can be equated to the western values) will reach its climax and almost everyone becomes the segment of this system the false Prophet Dajjal will emerge to rule the world through this system. He will first claim himself to be the Messiah or the messenger or a world leader and finally the GOD. In short, Dajjal as
The WESTREN CIVILIZATION of course is the icon of Dajjal representing a system having its roots in the banking system and the capitalistic corporate industry which is very much linked to theFREEMASONRY andILLUMINISM about which abundant details can be obtained from the internet and various other publications likewww.a llaahuakbar.net /free- masons/index.htm. Most of the official positions in the United Nations, United States Congress, EU (European Union) and British Parliament are held by those who either are Freemasons or their ploys. According to National Geographic documentary on \u201cTemplers\u201d aired on 4 April 2006, so far 17 American Presidents including George Washington have been known Freemasons. Freemasonry has deeply penetrated in all the world regions and continents (including the Islamic world), yet most people either do not know about it or acknowledge this fact.
Freemasons, claim themselves to be a part of an innocent organization aiming to establish a humanistic society based on the principles of freedom and equal rights. However, in reality they secretly worship a Devil-god, known as JAHBULON, and their real aim is to abolish all religions to establish one world government. Another secret faction within the Freemasons is \u201cThe Illuminatis\u201d who not only worship the LUCIFER (Iblees or the Satan) but are endeavoring to establish the rule of Satan on this globe. The details can be read in these International best selling books on Freemasonry \u201cThe Global Freemasonry\u201d by Haroon Yahya \u201cThe Brotherhood\u201d, by Stephen Knight, \u201cPawns in the Game\u201d by William Guy Carr,\u201cSatanic
and Magog are mentioned twice in the Qur'an, the Dajjal has no direct mention. This is extraordinary, given the assertion of the prophet, peace be upon him, that there is no more significant matter between the creation of Adam and the last hour than the Dajjal. People reading or listening to traditional descriptions of Dajjal, the anti-Christ may be forgiven for considering him to be a character of fiction. He is of an enormous size, travels at the speed of the clouds blown by the wind on a donkey, the distance between his ears being 40 arm spans, the deep sea only reaches up to his ankle, he has with him a mountain of bread and rivers, and works amazing miracles. He has been around since the prophet's days, tied in iron chains on an island in the sea which is populated by spies. When he is let loose, time will become short and the ground will shrink. This myth of a giant, however, is probably the reason that so many ahadith about him survived to the present day. Acquainted with the workings of modern technology, we are able to appreciate that the abilities of this superhuman creature are due to the equipment at his disposal. We have witnessed car
and plane travel, we see images from across the world beamed into our living rooms via television, we use mobile telephones to keep in touch with people in the remotest corners of the world. We can understand how somebody can be in many places at once, listen to what happens at different locations in the earth, travel at speed and show us water you cannot taste and fire that does not burn you. To people before us, anybody accomplishing such tasks, must have been a magical being. Our unforgivable mistake is that we love to hold on to the magic like a fairy tale from childhood which we can\u2019t let go of.
If we are talking about Dajjal, representing a system of disbelief clearly visible to anybody as such, be he literate or not, irrespective of the fact that it is being proclaimed in the name of Trinitarian Christianity, then this Dajjal is alive and kicking amongst us, no longer tied down since he mastered the art of using iron, throwing off his chains and restrictions, making everything fancy from computer hardware to destructive weapons. He is one-eyed, materialistic, deprived of spirituality, his promised paradise is hell and his hell is paradise, and he is followed by an army of Jews, women and Bedouins. He controls the resources of the world through his interest banking system, and has indeed mountains of bread, and people will suffer hunger unless they follow him. Whilst the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, would have argued with him on our behalf, were he still around, now everybody will have to argue with him on his own behalf. Yet, Dajjal, the system, is not sufficient an explanation for all the descriptions given of him in the prophetic traditions. Many of them speak of Dajjal as an ordinary, short man of Jewish extraction (like Ibn Sayyad), with curly and coarse hair and a beak of a nose, and biting teeth. He commands armies and, ultimately, he will be slain. Dajjal the person is the leader who will ultimately lead the forces of evil on this earth, the system of Dajjal.\u201d
can tell you now is that the world of Frangis has become the world of Dajjal, the glittering and the deceptive one. Haven\u2019t you heard that the Prophet told that in later times most people will follow Dajjal, believing him to be God?\u2019
As he looked at me with a question in his eyes, I recounted to a visible approval in the eyes of Shiekh Abu-Bulayhid, the prophecy about the appearance of that apocalyptic being, the Dajjal, who would blind in one eye but endowed with mysterious powers upon him by God. He would hear with his ears in the farthest corners of the earth, and would see with his one eye the events happening at infinite distances. He would fly around the earth in days and will cause the treasures of gold and silver to appear beneath the ground,\u2026\u2026. so those whose faith is weak will believe him to be God and those who are strong in their faith will be able to read written in his forehead \u2018Denier of God\u2019.\u201d
