Dajjaal … Antichrist

Part 12

Let us keep in mind that Shaitan, as part of his plan, has step by step been destroying human soul; he has been misleading the minds of humankind away from the Truth of Allah, and as the final step he has been making the minds of humankind ready to accept and follow The Dajjaal who will claim to be god … he has been doing this, on the one hand mysteriously such as in the older mystic so called religions, through mystifying the concept of god … on the other hand more openly such as in Christianity, through the claim of divinity of jesus … and yet on another hand through more and more mysticizing the so called judaism, christianity and even islam under titles such as kabbala, Gnosticism, charismatic creeds, universalism, interuniversalism, mysticized philosophies, wahdat of wojud, wahdat of mawjud, Sufism, so called irfans, and …; i.e. through, one way or another, basically claiming that every one is of the same substance of god, one with god and … HE HAS BEEN CONCEALING THE TRUTH OF ONENESS AND UNIQUENESS OF THE ONE AND ONLY GOD WHO IS ABSOLUTELY UNLIKE ANY THING ELSE … all this has been done through separating humankind from the Wilayat and Pure Teachings of the most supreme creations of God, i.e. Hadrat Mohammad and AhlulBayt (SBUT) …

In authentic Shi’ah Islamic sources not too many details have been given regarding The Dajjaal … most of what has been attributed to Islam in this regard, are by the sunni which are not confirmed by the Hadiths of the Infallible AhlulBayt (SBUT).

But one thing that has been said in Shi’ah sources too is that he will come riding on a donkey, and that he and his donkey will seem quite large …

Whether The Dajjaal is a long living jinn … or a long living human … or a partnership of Iblis the Shaitan in children of human … or … Allah Knows best …

One possibility to keep in mind is that if either The Dajjaal or his donkey or both are jinns, the jinns can appear as different forms with different sizes …

And in general by the use of jinns, magic, sorcery and …, if The Dajjaal and his donkey, whatever they may be, will seem that large it is nothing unbelievable at all … one method may be bewitching people’s eyes …

Let us remember that at time of Hadrat Moosa (SBUH) the magicians and sorcerers had bewitched and cast a spell upon the people's eyes, and frightened them, and they had produced a mighty enchantment (Qur’an 7:116). …

So many tricks may be involved … let us, for instance, remember the illusion of vanishing and reappearance of the statue of so called liberty by David Copperfield, a magician and illusionist. It occurred in 1983 in which a few tourists were seated in front of a giant curtain attached to 2 lateral scaffolding built on the island in an enclosed viewing area, and Copperfield supposedly raised the curtain before lowering it again a few seconds later to make it look as if the space where the statue once stood was in that moment empty …

Anyhow … it seems that this big and ugly creature will be followed and loved by many who have deviated from the Straight Path of Allah … it is thought-provoking that- whether realized or not, taught by Shaitan- so many makers of cartoons and … have been trying to encourage kids to love big and ugly creatures … so many writers of so called best selling books and movies have been mysticizing and fascinating minds regarding jinns, magic and … such as harry potter, the lord of the rings, and …

Other points stated in authentic Islamic sources are: friends and helpers of The Dajjaal have been jews … many jews will follow The Dajjaal … those who will have their gospels and crosses with them will follow him … he will come during a famine, appearing as if he has food and water with him … he will claim to be god … he will emerge from a jewish neighborhood … his followers are children of adult ery, drinkers of alcohol, actors and actresses,  musicians and … he will have one eye … he will declare hom os exuality, adult ery and … as allowable … at his time men and women will be naked and in each other’s arms out in the open … his friends will eat pork, drink alcohol and commit all kinds of indecencies to excess … he will go through the entire earth except Mecca, Medina and Shrines of the Infallible Imams (SBUT) … when his and his followers’ violence and oppression prevail everywhere he shall be killed by he (SBUH) whom ‘Eesa (SBUH) will pray behind … and … (Montakhab al-Athar, p.480, p. 532; Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 4, vol. 14, vol. 51, vol. 52; …)

Let us not forget that the so called christian Paul, the usurper, was a jew … and the so called muslim AbuBakr and ‘Umar, the usurpers, were students of jews … and …

It is also important to pay attention that the ground has already been paved and in some parts of the world, many of such indecencies are being observed out in the open already … but it seems that at time of The Dajjaal indecencies and … will prevail (out in the open too) everywhere even in the current so called muslim countries …

Of course the true believers, those clinging to the Wilayat of AhlulBayt, will, Allah-willing, be safe; the renowned Mohaddeth Qommi has said that Hadrat Mohammad (SAWA) has said that any believer who shall see The Dajjaal will recite the Surah 1, FaatehatolKetaab, to dispel and ward off that cursed one's magic and sorcery, and to prevent its effect on him; at that time, praying and worshipping and Tasbih and … will suffice believers; when he will emerge he will fill the world with Fitnah and chaos, there shall be war between his army and Hadrat Mahdi’s (SBUH) army, finally he shall be killed at the hand of either Hadrat Mahdi, or Hadrat ‘Eesa under the command of Hadrat Mahdi (SBUT) …

Paying attention to this point is also vital that within what is being called judaism, christianity and islam …, Shaitan through replacing or mixing the True and Pure Teachings of the Prophets of Allah and their Allah-Chosen Successors (SBUT) with Shaitan-inspired man-designed distortions, philosophies and … has created a god whose hands are tied up and can not change any thing; one reason is because the will of this god is preexisting and is the dhaat (essence, self …) of god itself thus his whole creation is predesigned and unchangeable. While in the Pure teachings of the Infallible Ones (SBUT) this claim is strongly rejected, and it is clarified that indeed the Mashiyyat (Will) المَشِیَّۀُ of Allah is His Fe’l (Deed) فعل and creation not His Self and Dhaat ذات, thus changeable … (please refer to all parts of: Repudiation of Philosophical and Irfani (Mystical) Fundamentals in Imam Riza (Salaam Be Upon Him)’s Monotheistic Teachings, as a chapter of this E-book too.) 

So based on the Pure Teachings of the Infallible Ones (SBUT) praying for some horrible events not to happen … or praying for the sooner Appearance of the Saviour is definitely effective and can be Inshaa’Allah accepted by Allah and thus cause the Appearance to happen sooner and therefore Inshaa’Allah perhaps prevent or change some destructive possibilities- which may occur as the result of the disobedience of humankind- … this is some thing which Shaitan indeed does not like …

For instance in a prayer by Imam Moosa son of Ja’far (SBUT), which is recommended to be recited after the ‘Asr Salah, it is stated:

أنتَ الُله لا اِلهَ اِلّا اَنتَ. مِنکَ المَشِیَّۀُ و اِلیکَ البَداءُ... . اَنتَ الُله لا اِلهَ اِلّا اَنتَ. تَمْحو ما تَشاءُ و تُثْبِتُ و عِندَكَ اُمُّ الکِتابِ... . اَسْأَلُکَ أَنْ تُصَلِّیَ عَلی مُحمَّدٍ و آلِ مُحمّدٍ و أنْ تُعَجِّلَ فَرَجَ المُنْتَقِمِ لَکَ مِنْ اَعْدائکَ.

You are the God that there is no deity besides You;

To Will is from You, and the power and authority to change is by You;

You are the God that there is no deity besides You;

Any thing You Will, You do away with, and that which You Will, You establish; the Omm al-Ketaab is with You;

I ask you to bless Mohammad and his AhlulBayt, and to hasten the Faraj (Appearance …) of he who will avenge from Your enemies for You.

(Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 86, p. 81; …)

When Abu Haashem Daawood ben Qaasem Ja’fari asked Imam Mohammad son of ‘Ali al-Jawaad (SBUT), whether any change was possible  regarding the emergence of Sofyaani, which in some Hadiths is stated to be of the sure events happening prior to Appearance, the Imam (SBUH( said yes; and when he expressed worry regarding the Appearance to be changed too, the Imam said, the Appearance is the Promise of Allah and Allah never breaches a Promise.

(Ghaybat al-No’maani, baab 18, h. 10; …)

I.e. while the Appearance itself is of Promises of Allah and therefore undoubtedly shall happen, but all the events surrounding it can be changed one way or another, that is of course if Allah Wills so. Even if a certain event is at one time specified as a sure event, that same event may be changed by Allah at another time …

We must never forget that the creation of any thing can be changed, substituted or abrogated by His supreme Will. It must be kept in mind that there can be no limitation to the power and ability of Allah.
