    Where is the dajjal (antichrist) hiding?

    In those hadiths that refer to the End

    Times, it is reported that the emergence

    of the dajjal, who will orchestrate evil on

    Earth and turn people away from

    religious moral values, is one of the great

    portents of doomsday.

    The increasing violence, torture, anarchy,disorder, slaughter,war, conflict, crueltyand state and otherforms of terror showthat the dajjal hasemerged and isorchestrating all these. (Allah knows thetruth)

    According to the hadiths of our Prophet

    (saas), it appears that the dajjal will hidein a rocky place. In fact, the Haram Sharifarea in Jerusalem stands on rock. Thesacred rock Hajar al-Muallaq from whichour Prophet (saas) embarked on hismiraculous journey and on which theDome of the Rock was later built, standsthere. The rocky region mentioned in the

    hadith is probably theHaram- Sharif wherethe Dome of the Rockand the al-AqsaMosque stand, andthis is in all likelihoodwhere the dajjal is hiding.

    According to the information in the

    hadiths, the return to Earth of the

    Prophet Jesus (as), the coming of Hazrat

    Mahdi (as) and the emergence of the

    dajjal will all take place in the same

    period. Our Prophet (saas) has reported

    that the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat

    Mahdi (as) will perform the daily prayer

    together. In one hadith we are told that:

  • 8/9/2019 Where is the Dajjal Hiding?

    2/18

    Although their IMAM will be the HAZRAT

    MAHDI (AS), a pure individual, THEY

    WILL SEEK REFUGE IN BAYT AL-MAQDIS.

    There, at a time when their imam appears

    before them to lead them in the morning

    prayer, they will see that JESUS SON OF

    MARYAM (AS) HAS DESCENDED IN THE

    MORNING. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will

    withdraw to permit the Prophet Jesus

    (as) to come to the fore. THE PROPHET

    JESUS (AS) WILL PLACE HIS HAND ON

    HIS SHOULDERS AND SAY Lead the

    prayers. Because the call has been made

    for you When the prayers are finished,

    the Prophet Jesus (as) will say, Open the

    mosque door. When the door is opened,

    seventy thousand people with the shawls

    around them WILL BE SEEN WAITING

    WITH THE DAJJAL 1

    The Dajjal Will Appear at the Beginning ofthe Century

    It is also reported in the hadiths that the

    Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as)

    will wage an intellectual campaign againstthe strife of the dajjal. The hadiths contain

    indications of which period this struggle

    will take place. In one hadith our Prophet

    (saas) has told us that the dajjal will

    appear at the beginning of the century:

    A most significant event has taken place

    at the beginning of every century since

    the world was created. AT THE

    BEGINNING OF ONE CENTURY THE

    DAJJAL WILL APPEAR AND Jesus son of

    Maryam (as) will descend to Earth and

    make him ineffective.2

    Another of the hadiths of our Prophet(saas) says that:

    The life of this community will EXCEED A

    THOUSAND YEARS, but not ONE

    THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED YEARS3

    Since our Prophet (saas) reveals that the

    life of his community will not exceed

    1500 years, it is likely that he is indicating

    the 2000s as the time these great events

    will take place.

    In his sermon at the Omayyid Mosque in

    Damascus in Hijri 1327, Bediuzzaman

    Said Nursi, the great Islamic scholar,described the future of the Islamic world

    after 1371, and emphasised that Hazrat

    Mahdis (as) great intellectual struggle

    would take place in the 2000s:

  • 8/9/2019 Where is the Dajjal Hiding?

    3/18

    Even if it does not happen now, 30-40

    YEARS LATER, equipped with these three

    forces, knowledge of science and art and

    the good and beneficial aspects of

    civilisation, the tendency to investigate

    the truth and human love, sent to the fight

    against those nine hostile classes, will

    meet the needs and overcome and

    disperse those nine obstacles and will,

    inshaAllah, eradicate them HALF A

    CENTURY ON. 4

    In the words half a century later, Said

    Nursi indicated that the effects of

    materialist, Darwinist and atheistic

    philosophies would be eliminated,

    through Hazrat Mahdi (as), in Hijri 1421,

    in other words 2001. In another mention

    of the date when Hazrat Mahdi (as) would

    appear, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi stated

    that Hazrat Mahdi (as) would come after

    himself and that they imagined that the

    century of truths in the history of the

    world that WOULD COME 1400 YEARS

    LATERwas close at hand, (Sayings, 318)

    once again indicating that date. In anotheraccount, Bediuzzaman reported that he

    was preparing the ground for Hazrat

    Mahdi (as), whom he described as an

    amazing individual:

    I think of myself as a servant of and one

    who prepares the way for that awe

    inspiring individual, and a member of that

    great commanders vanguard. (Barla

    Addendum, 162)

    The Dajjal Will Incite Anarchy and TerrorThe hadiths indicate that the dajjal will

    cause strife and disorder all over the

    world. The increasing violence, torture,

    anarchy, disorder, war, conflict and state

    and other forms of terror in recent years

    all show that the dajjal has appeared and

    is orchestrating these. This is revealed

    one hadith:

    (At that time) There will be much

    CORRUPTION, DISORDER AND

    REBELLION, and people will KILL ONE

    ANOTHER. People will take their own

    lives and the world will be filled with

    sorrow. The accursed DAJJAL will appear

    at such a troubled time... 5

    In the Quran, Allah has revealed the

    existence of people who create confusion

    and damage order, who organise evil and

    who constantly seek to incite war. In one

    verse it is stated that:

  • 8/9/2019 Where is the Dajjal Hiding?

    4/18

    Each time they kindle the fire of war,Allah extinguishes it. They rush about theearth corrupting it. Allah does not lovecorrupters. (Surat Al-Maida: 64)

    The dajjal is the leading representative of

    this immorality. He uses violence, terror

    and anarchy as weapons of oppression in

    order to create greater bloodshed. In

    other hadiths it is reported that killing

    will increase in the End Times, and that

    wars incited by the dajjal will lay waste

    all places:

    He said: Doomsday will draw nigh,governance will be lacking, people will

    adopt excessive parsimony and greed,

    and there will be much turmoil.

    The companions asked, What is

    turmoil?

    KILLING, KILLING! replied the Prophet

    (saas). 6

    There is no place in which the DAJJAL

    WILL NOT VANQUISH ARMIES.7

    The wars taking place in our time

    between countries, with no valid

    justification, the internal conflicts arising

    from artificial causes, and the terrorist

    attacks against innocent, civilian targets

    are examples of the turmoil caused by thedajjal.

    The Tactics Employed by the Dajjal toSpread Anarchy and Terror

    In his works, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi

    stressed the conflicts and confusion that

    the dajjal would cause on Earth. The

    Master also described the tactics the

    dajjal would employ in order to spread

    anarchy and terror and thus prepare the

    way for Gog and Magog (portents of

    Doomsday that will appear in the End

    Times). Bediuzzaman tells us that:Thegreat dajjal WILL PREPARE THE WAY

    FOR ANARCHY AND GOG AND MAGOG BY

    DAMAGING the unificatory elements that

  • 8/9/2019 Where is the Dajjal Hiding?

    5/18

    manage the social lives of Christians

    through the indoctrination of satan and

    eliminating the stipulations of

    ChristianityBy seeking to eradicate one

    eternal part of the law of Muhammad

    (Quranic moral values imparted by the

    Prophet (saas)) using earthly desires and

    satanic deceptions, he will seek to

    dissolve such radiant chains as respect

    and compassion by leaving people at the

    mercy of obstinate, drunken and random

    earthly desires; HE WILL PRODUCE AN

    INTENSE ANARCHY by creating a

    compulsory and oppressive freedom for

    people to attack one another in the

    swamp of their earthly passions ... 8

    Bediuzzaman describes how the dajjal

    will achieve this objective:

    1. By causing people to follow their earthlydesires.. BY SEEKING TO ERADICATE one eternal

    part of the law of Muhammad (Quranic

    moral values imparted by the Prophet

    (saas)) using EARTHLY DESIRES AND

    SATANIC DECEPTIONS

    As the Master indicates, the dajjal will

    cause people to turn away from

    implementing religious moral values. He

    will inculcate the idea of following their

    earthy desires into their consciences.

    2. By eliminating respect and compassionamong people...By damaging the physical and spiritual

    unificatory elements of human life and

    DISSOLVING SUCH RADIANT CHAINS AS

    RESPECT AND COMPASSION by leaving

    people at the mercy of obstinate, drunken

    and random desires.

    The devotion, willingness to assist others,

    affection, compassion, love and modesty,

    elements of the moral values commanded

    by Allah are factors that strengthen

    people physically and spiritually, bind

    them together, and establish order and

    solidarity in society. The dajjal willdamage this order by means of

    indoctrination that eliminates these

    elements. The Master is indicating this

    here.

    3. By keeping people under pressure...HE WILL PRODUCE AN INTENSE

    ANARCHY by creating a compulsory and

    oppressive freedom for people to assault

    one another in the swamp of earthly

    passions

  • 8/9/2019 Where is the Dajjal Hiding?

    6/18

    In these words, the Master is noting that

    in an earthly climate established by the

    dajjal people will imagine themselves to

    be free, but that he will actually keep

    them under pressure and control. In the

    system inculcated by the dajjal most

    people think they lead so-called modern

    and free lives by following their lower-

    selves. Their tastes, amusements,

    conversation and even clothing and the

    food they eat represent the same

    conception in line with the life style to

    which they are directed. The dajjals aim

    is thus to leave society ignorant and

    unable to think, reflect or evaluate.

    Because it is a very easy matter to lead

    the ignorant. In addition, in this sytem

    based on earthly desires people are led

    not by their mind and conscience, but by

    desires and passions, which results in

    terrible confusion.

    The dajjal also uses other methods to

    achieve his aims. As indicated in the

    hadiths, one of these is to seek to

    influence society by declaring the dajjal to

    be a prophet, and even divine. (Surely

    Allah is beyond that)

    The Dajjal Will First Announce That He Is aProphet, and Then His Alleged Divinity

    In one hadith our Prophet Muhammad

    (saas) has stated;

    When he (the dajjal) appears

    EVERYONE WILL IMAGINE HIM TO BE A

    SPIRITUAL GUIDE and follow him, then,

    coming to KUFA, he will continue his

    endeavours in the same way ANDDECLARE HIMSELF A PROPHET. Rational

    people who see this will then depart from

    him He WILL THEN CLAIM TO BE

    DIVINE He will say (May Allah have

    mercy) I am Allah. (Tabarani related

    this from the Companion b. Mutamar.)9

    One of the features of the dajjal revealed

    in the hadiths is that he will portray

    himself as a spiritual guide, and even a

    prophet. This indicates that while the

    dajjal is organizing evil he will direct

    people, supposedly in the name of Allah,

    as if he had a religious objective. Finally,

    the dajjal will declare his supposed

    divinity. (Surely Allah is beyond that)

    Another hadith describes this perversion

    of the dajjals thus:

  • 8/9/2019 Where is the Dajjal Hiding?

    7/18

    He (the dajjal) will first say, I AM A

    PROPHET. Yet there will be no prophet

    after me. He will then make a second

    claim, saying, I AM YOUR LORD. Yet you

    cannot see your Lord until you die....10

    As is clear from the information in the

    hadiths, the dajjal will manifest himself in

    many different spheres. His real idea is

    that he is supposedly divine. However,

    since he imagines that this will have a

    negative impact on

    his plans if he states it

    openly, he will

    indoctrinate people

    with the idea very

    slowly. For that

    reason, he will first

    declare himself to be

    a guide, then a

    prophet, and only then divine.

    The dajjals actions are suggested by

    satan, who is the dajjals friend and

    helpmate. Our Prophet (saas) has

    reported that the dajjal will receive helpfrom satan and his friends. As stated by

    our Prophet (saas), with satans help and

    support the dajjal will spread the

    falsehood that he is supposedly a deity.

    DEVILS WILL SAY TO HIM, TELL US

    WHAT YOU WISH, AND WE WILL DO IT.

    He will say: Go, and tell people I am their

    lord and he will disperse them in all

    directions. ... 11 (Surely Allah is beyondthat)

    The position of people who have fallen

    under the dominion of satan is revealed

    thus in the Quran:

    If someone shuts hiseyes to theremembrance of theAll-Merciful, Weassign him a satanwho becomes hisbosom friend (SuratAz-Zukhruf :36)

    As an indication of his lack of faith, the

    dajjal is terrified of satan rather than of

    Allah, and obeys the former, who

    commands him to create corruption on

    Earth, to encourage violence and terror,

    to shed peoples blood and to lead them to

    evil.

    According to what can be gleaned from

    the hadiths, the present period in which

    the dajjal is operating in secret is when he

  • 8/9/2019 Where is the Dajjal Hiding?

    8/18

    will suggest that he is a spiritual guide.

    Certain people who are weak in faith and

    mind may be affected by the dajjals claim

    to be a spiritual guide. Yet as with his

    supposed claim to divine status, the dajjal

    is the enemy of our Lord, the prophets

    and religious moral values. (Surely Allah

    is beyond that) He is opposed to our

    Prophet Muhammad (saas), the Prophet

    Moses (as), the Prophet Jesus (as), the

    Prophet David (as), the Prophet Solomon

    (as) and all the other holy prophets.

    Bediuzzaman also states the hostility of

    the dajjal to sacred values in this wise

    extract;

    The dajjal has characteristics that

    encourage hypnotism of the spiritualist

    kind A denier who lives solely for

    worldly ends attacks sacred values with a

    bare-facedness and courage born out of

    lack of faith. 12

    When the period in which

    the dajjal openly declares

    his alleged divinity arrives,the Prophet Jesus (as) will,

    by the leave of Allah, make

    him ineffective and destroy

    all his snares.

    He May Deceive Most People with FalseMiracles

    It is revealed in hadiths that the dajjal will

    employ various deceptive methods in

    declaring his supposed divinity and will

    perform false miracles with the help of

    satan:

    One of his corruptions is this; He will say

    a Bedouin, Tell me! Will you believe I amyour l ord if I RESURRECT YOUR MOTHER

    AND YOUR FATHER? The Bedouin will

    say, Yes. At this TWO DEVILS WILL

    APPEAR IN THE FORMS OF HIS MOTHER

    AND FATHER 13

    At this, the dajjal will ask the villains he

    leads; Now if I kill this man and then

    bring him back to life, will you then

    believe in my divinity? 14

    One of his corruptions is

    this: He will call a single

    person, kill him AND CUT

    HIM UP WITH A SAW. That

    persons body will be cast

    away in two pieces. The

    dajjal will then tell those

    around him, Look at this

  • 8/9/2019 Where is the Dajjal Hiding?

    9/18

    servant I have killed. I SHALL NOW

    BRING HIM BACK TO LIFE.15

    As can be seen from the information

    provided in the hadiths, the dajjal will use

    false miracles to have people accept his

    claims to supposed divine status. Less

    intelligent people will imagine these are

    literally miracles. The fact is, however,

    that a miracle is a blessing from Allah to

    His servants. The extraordinary

    phenomena displayed by the dajjal are

    mere incitements, in other words, are

    miracles created by Allah to test people,

    of the sort seen in unbelievers.

    Islam scholars point to these false

    miracles of the dajjals and state that he

    may employ techniques such as magic or

    hypnotism. Bediuzzaman has desribed

    this aspect of the dajjal:

    And the worst of these, the DAJJAL,

    POSSESSED OF EXTRAORDINARY

    EVENTS LINKED TO SPIRITUALISM AND

    HYPNOSIS, will go even further anddeclare his false and imaginary divinity

    (Surely Allah is beyond that) 16

    As stated by Bediuzzaman, the dajjal may

    deceive people who lack sufficient

    knowledge or whose faith is weak, using

    deceptive techniques such a hypnotism

    and dsplays of magic. The false miracles

    and deceptions perpetrated by the dajjal,

    at a time when the whole Christian world

    is awaiting the return to Earth of the

    Prophet Jesus (as) and the Jews are

    awaiting the Messiah, may cause many

    people to be deceived by the dajjal.

    The Dajjal Will Be the Worst Foe ofMuslims and the People of the Book

    In the hadiths our Prophet (saas) has

    stated that while the dajjal inflicts

    disaster on mankind he may appear to be

    doing good. In one hadith it is stated that:

    When the dajjal appears, he will bring fire

    and water with him. But what the people

    SEE AS FIRE WILL BE FRESH WATER, and

    what the people SEE AS WATER WILL BE

    BURNING FIRE. Whoever lives to see that

    day, let him be willing to fall into what the

    people see as fire, as that is fresh, cold

    water. 17

    According to the information in the

    hadith, the dajjal will lead people to the

  • 8/9/2019 Where is the Dajjal Hiding?

    10/18

    fire, in other words, encourage fighting,

    conflict, war and bloodshed while giving

    them the idea that he is performing good

    deeds. As we have already seen, in doing

    this he will influence people by depicting

    himself as a spiritual guide or even a

    prophet. The hadiths indicate that some

    Christians and Jews will fall under the

    dajjals spell. The dajjal will appear to be

    benefiting Jews and Jewish society, and

    will also stage-manage Christians by

    appearing to benefit them. By the use of

    this tactic he aims to ruin both sides and

    inflict terrible defeats on them. Therefore,

    the dajjal is the greatest enemy of both

    Christians and Jews.

    One hadith reveals that although they

    know the dajjal is a denier some people

    will come under his influence through

    being deceived by worldly gain:

    Some people will converse with the dajjal.

    And they will say: WE KNOW THAT HE IS

    AN UNBELIEVER; we are his friends so

    that we can eat his food and benefit fromhis tree. When the chastisement of Allah

    comes, it will come to the dajjal and all of

    them. 18True believers who abide by the moral

    values of the Quran and the Sunna of our

    Prophet (saas), however, will be aware of

    these ruses of the dajjals and will

    recognize his snares through the light of

    their faith and will not be taken in by

    them. Warning people against the

    violence and bloody terror of the dajjal,

    and making them aware of these, is a

    duty of people of conscience.

    Freemasonry: The Dajjals Secret ArmyThe Mason shrine in which Masongatherings take place.Our Prophet (saas) has indicated that the

    dajjal will act in secrecy:

    The dajjal will set out and come first to

    the gate looking onto the east of the city

    of Damascus HE WILL BE SOUGHT, BUT

    HE WILL NOT BE CAUGHT He will then

    be seen by the side of the waters of the

    river of Jerusalem HE WILL BE SOUGHT,

    BUT NOBODY WILL KNOW WHERE HE

    HAS GONE. 19

    It is indicated in the hadith that the dajjal

    will be sought, but he will not be caught,

    which indicates that he will act in secret.

    The dajjal will act slowly and deeply,

    without making people uneasy or

    drawing attention to himself, until the

    time comes for him to come out into the

  • 8/9/2019 Where is the Dajjal Hiding?

    11/18

    open. Throughout this period secrecy will

    be the most important thing for the dajjal

    and his followers, and they will secure the

    support of secret organisations for that

    purpose. As a requirement of this secrecy,

    the dajjal will establish and lead secret

    state organisations and act literally like

    an invisible force. This will enable him

    to organise corruption in a very

    underhand manner. Bediuzzaman Said

    Nursi also noted that the dajjal would

    attract support from such secret societies

    as the masons:

    ...THE DAJJAL WILL DECEIVE THE

    MASONS, and since they gain his

    SUPPORT they will imagine they have

    intense dominion 20

    As the Master makes clear, the dajjal will

    use world freemasonry as a kind of secret

    army. Secret decisions against Muslims

    will be taken under the leadership of the

    dajjal, and these will be put into practice.

    In fact, the resemblance between the

    pressure, difficulties and attacks to which

    Muslims all over the world are exposed is

    agreed by one and all. This is important

    evidence that the activities in question

    are being orchestrated from a single

    centre. Bediuzzaman Said Nursi has

    stated that the dajjal will put pressure on

    the Islamic world and inflict hard and

    troubled times on devout Muslims:

    ...Harmful and powerful individuals such

    as the dajjal will lead hypocrisy and

    atheism, and will make use of a persons

    hypocrisy and desires to wreak confusion

    among people with little expenditure of

    effort, and will TAKE THE WHOLE

    WORLD OF ISLAM CAPTIVE.21As can be seen from the Masters

    statements, the dajjal will unite

    unbelievers and atheists against Muslims

    and act as their leader. He will make use

    of peoples desires and hypocrisy in order

    to turn them away from the truth, thus

    causing turmoil and strife.

    The Prophet Jesus (as), As aProphet Who DisplaysMiracles, Will Put an End toAll the Strife of the EndTimes.Our Prophet (saas) has

    imparted the glad tidings

    that all the strife of the End

    Times, particularly that of

    the dajjal Messiah, will be

    eliminated by means of theProphet Jesus (as). As stated in the

    hadiths, the Prophet Jesus (as) will return

    to Earth and confront the dajjal in

    Jerusalem, and when the dajjal sees him

    he will dissolve like salt in water. Just

    the Prophet Jesus breath will be enough

    to do away with the strife of the dajjal:

    At that point, when the DAJJAL, THE

    ENEMY OF ALLAH, SEES THE MESSIAH,

    THE PROPHET JESUS (AS), HE WILL

    DISAPPEAR LIKE SALT DISSOLVING IN

    WATER.22

    AS THE DAJJAL SPREADS CORRUPTION,

    ALLAH WILL SEND THE MESSIAH, JESUS

    SON OF MARYAM (AS)Every unbeliever

    COMPREHENDING HIS HEALING POWER

    will disappear. Jesus (as) will meet the

    dajjal at the Gate of Lud

    (near the al- Aqsa Mosque

    in Jerusalem) AND WILL

    DESTROY HIM.....23

    Bediuzzaman explains how

    the snares and deceptions

    of the dajjal, and the lies

    that bring people under his

    spell, will be eliminated

    through the Prophet Jesus

    (as):

    Only a WONDROUS AND MIRACULOUS

    INDIVIDUAL ACCEPTED BY THE PEOPLE

    can eliminate that savage dajjal who

    protects himself and bewitches everyone

    through such false miracles as magic and

    magnetism and spiritualism, and alter the

    course of his actions, and that individual

    is the Prophet Jesus (as), the prophet of

    all mankind. 24

    As the Master tells us, since the dajjal

    deceives people through various false

    miracles, acts with the support of satan

    and performs some extraordinary deeds,

    the dajjal can only be vanquished through

    the holy Prophet Jesus (as), various of

    whose miracles our Lord has spoken of.

    By the will of Allah, the elimination of the

    1 Masonic Ritual walking

  • 8/9/2019 Where is the Dajjal Hiding?

    13/18

    strife of the dajjal by the Prophet Jesus

    (as) will be very quick and easy.

    By the literal eradication of the strife of

    the dajjal and the End Times through the

    Prophet Jesus (as), the Earth will be filled

    with justice, security and plenty. Those

    who mistakenly think that the Prophet

    Jesus (as) will not return to Earth will

    certainly suffer a grave defeat in the face

    of this. These people will both rejoice andalso regret what they said in the past

    when they see how wise the return of the

    Prophet Jesus (as) is and how the most

    intractable problems are resolved

    through him.

    Allah has written, I will be victorious, Iand and My Messengers. Allah is MostStrong, All-Mighty. (Surat Al-Mujadala:21)REFERENCES1. Abu Rafi reports; Imam Sharani, Death, Doomsday,the Hereafter and the Portents of the End Times , BedirPress, p. 495-496

    14/18

    IS THE UNDERGROUND OF THIS REGIONPREPARED FOR THE COMING OF THEDAJJAL?

    It is reported in hadiths that the Prophet

    Jesus (as) will destroy the Dajjal near the

    Gate of Lud:

    Then the Prophet Jesus WILL SEEK OUT

    THE DAJJAL and eventually catch up with

    him at the Gate of Lud NEAR THE MASJIDAL- AQSA, AND WILL DESTROY HIM.1

    Jesus (as) will meet the dajjal at the Gate

    of Lud (NEAR THE MASJID AL- AQSA IN

    JERUSALEM), AND WILL MAKE HIM

    INEFFECTIVE.2

    As reported in these hadiths, the fact that

    the Prophet Jesus (as) will seek the dajjal

    out is definitive proof that the dajjal will

    be hiding. Again according to these

    hadiths, the dajjal will be near Jerusalem.

    The Bayt al-Maqdis is the name given to

    the sacred area where the Haram Sharif,

    which contains the al-Aqsa Mosque,

    stands. This thus indicates that the centre

    of the dajjals activities will be around the

    al-Aqsa Mosque.

    According to another hadith, the dajjal

    will emerge from a rocky place:

    .... (Dajjal) will appear from a rocky place,

    and spread intensive mischief around (by

    sending troops everywhere).3

    In fact the Haram Sharif region is a

    structure with a rocky base. The sacred

    Hajar Muallaq from which our Prophet

    (saas) embarked on his miraculous

    journey and on which the Dome of the

    Rock was subequently erected is also

    here. The rocky region referred to in the

    hadith is in all probability the Haram

    Sharif, with the Dome of the Rock and the

    al-Aqsa Mosque, and the dajjal is in alllikelihood hidden there.

    The rocky nature of the area means that

    other areas can be constructed under the

  • 8/9/2019 Where is the Dajjal Hiding?

    15/18

    al-Aqsa Mosque. As we know, there have

    been constant excavations under the al-

    Aqsa Mosque since the mid-1990s. The

    area where the al-Aqsa Mosque stands is

    the same area where the Jews maintain

    that the Temple of Solomon once stood.

    According to Jewish belief, the temple of

    Solomon will be rebuilt when the Messiah

    comes prior to Doomsday. There is a

    strong likelihood that the dajjal has made

    use of this belief to build a secret place of

    worship, saying that he will rebuild the

    Temple of Solomon. Yet this state of

    affairs is only temporary.

    As for his real objective, this is to tear

    down the al-Aqsa Mosque and then to

    announce his own alleged divine status.

    (Surely Allah is beyond that)

    HOW TO PROTECT ONESELF FROM THEDAJJAL

    It will only, of course, be possible for true

    believers to be protected against the

    dajjal who will lead mankind into terrible

    strife. As in all periods, at this time, too,

    Muslims sincerely devoted to Allah need

    to be unified among themselves and to

    live fully according to the proper moral

    values commanded by Him. Almighty

    Allah reveals this in a verse from the

    Quran:

    The believers are brothers, so make peacebetween your brothers and have fear ofAllah so that hopefully you will gain mercy.(Surat Al-Hujurat: 10)

    As stated in the above verse, all believers

    are brothers. However, the brotherhood

    of believers is one that demands a highly

    altruistic state of mind. For that reason,

    believers must be very considerate of one

    another and hold their brothers interests

    above their own at all times.

    Believers must love one and watch out for

    another for the approval of Allah.

    Naturally, when faced by such a great

  • 8/9/2019 Where is the Dajjal Hiding?

    16/18

    strife as that of the dajjal, Muslims must

    not seek out one anothers flaws or

    oppose one another over minor details.

    Quranic moral values command that they

    should embrace one another. The best

    behaviour will be for there to be no

    rancour between Muslims, for differences

    to be overcome in the event that any such

    exist, and for these to be replaced a warm

    and sincere climate. In addition, good

    thoughts and mutual assistance must

    predominate in dialogues between them,

    and all differences and negative factors

    that might give rise to competition and

    claims of superiority must be eliminated.

    Muslims must display as much love for

    one another as possible, cast opposition

    aside and strive to attain true

    brotherhood. Believers must exclude

    nobody, but always seek to win over

    everyone and lead them in the direction

    of truth and goodness. In this way,

    believers can exhibit a structure capable

    of withstanding the strife of the dajjal.

    Those who are unbelievers are the friendsand protectors of one another. If you donot act in this way there will be turmoil inthe land and great corruption. ( Surat Al-Anfal: 73)

    Another very important point is this: thestage we are living through, the EndTimes, is when people abide by Quranicmoral values to the letter and arestrengthened in their beliefs. An individualor a society deprived of the miracles of theQuran and signs leading to faith isreferred to as ignorant. The lack of suchknowledge in a person who is unable toproperly recognise and appreciate themight of Allah has a significant effect.Therefore, the reading of books, visitingInternet sites and watching films aboutQuranic miracles and signs leading to faithwill prevent that ignorance and be ameans whereby people attain a powerfulfaith. Allah has revealed in the Quran thatonly the wise, in other words those wholive by Quranic moral values and knowthe proofs of Allahs creation, fear Him asthey ought: And mankind and beasts andlivestock are likewise of varying colours.Only those of His servants with knowledgehave fear of Allah. Allah is Almighty, Ever-Forgiving. (Surah Fatir:28)

    2Attempts to demolish the al-Aqsa Mosque by variousmeans and the excavations undertaken for that purpose

    have appeared in many newspapers.

    When believers apply this scrupulously

    and encourage people to live by Quranic

    moral values they will, by Allahs leave,

    have built the most reliable shield against

    the strife of the dajjal that will enfold thewhole world. This is set out in these terms

    in the Quran:

    Let there be a community among you whocall to the good, and enjoin the right, andforbid the wrong. They are the ones whohave success. (Surah Al Imran :104)
