The Dajjal (Anti-Christ)

The word Dajjal in Arabic means Deceiver or Liar. The emergence of the Dajjal (AntiChrist or False Messiah) is the most dangerous among the signs that indicate the Day of Judgment is approaching, even people with strong faith will be shaken. Allah created the Dajjal to test people's faith.

Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم   said: " The Hour will not occur until 30 Dajjals  (Deceivers or False Prophets) appear, and all of them claim to be of prophet of God." (Abu Dawud) In a variation of this Hadith, Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم  said: : " The Hour will not occur until 30 lying Dajjals (Deceivers or False Prophets) appear, and all of them lie about Allah and Allah's Messenger." (Abu Dawud)

Out of these 30 Dajjals, the last one will probably be the most evil one.

Based on our numerical analysis of the Quran, Hadith, and Arabic Words for our End Times book, we believe that a Dajjal or evil person will appear in the beginning of the first phase of the End Times. This will trigger the emergence of the Mahdi. In 2022, near the end of the first phase of the End Times, the last Dajjal is likely to appear. This will trigger the descent of Prophet Jesus Christ from Heaven.

Some of the Jews are expecting two Messiahs for them in the End Times. They refer to first Messiah as Son of Joseph and the second Messiah as Son of David.

Christians are expecting 2 Witnesses in the End Times. They tend to expect one of the witnesses to be Elijah (Elias).

The first Dajjal Messiah, in the End Times, will probably falsely claim to be Son of Joseph of the Jews and Elijah of the Christians. He may claim to also be paving the way for Shia's Mahdi, if no Shia person emerges. The Shia have many narrations about individuals whom they expect to appear and pave the way for Shia's Mahdi.

The first Dajjal Messiah will probably NOT claim to be God. Whereas the last Dajjal, son of David, is likely to claim to be God.

The last Dajjal may also claim to be Shia's Imam Mahdi.

In a way, God uses the Dajjal to mock and test the followers of  false/corrupted religions of Judaism, Christianity and Shiism:

(a) Zionist Christians will be following the Anti-Christ, as if he is God, while he will be committing evil things. God will be laughing at them. Jesus in his first life was a good man and prophet, and never claimed to be God. They corrupted the Gospel by making Jesus into a a human God. Now, God is punishing them for this major sin by having Christians face the prospect of following the Anti-Christ, who is an evil man, thinking that he is Jesus/God.

(b) The Jewish and Shia books portray their Messiah/ Mahdi as someone who does evil things to their enemies. God will be testing the Jews and Shia to see to what extent they are willing to accept the evil-doings of the Anti-Christ who will be acting as their Messiah/Mahdi.

Faithful Sunni Muslims are less susceptible to be tempted or deceived by the Anti-Christ.

Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم  told us that, " No tribulation on the face of the Earth since Allah created Adam will be greater than the trial of the Dajjal. Verily, no prophet was sent who did not warn his people of the Dajjal..." (Ibn Majah, Ibn Khuzaymah, and Al-Haakim).

Imran bin Hussain narrated that the Messenger of Allah  صلى الله عليه وسلم  said, " Between the creation of (Prophet) Adam عليه السلام and the coming of the Last Hour, there will arise no tribulation more serious than the Dajjal." (Sahih Muslim)

Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said "Every Prophet from the first to the last warned and informed his people about the Dajjal due to the severity of  his trials & tribulations."  (Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim). According to variations of this Hadith, "...No prophet was sent who did not warn his people of the Dajjal..."

The last Dajjal (AntiChrist or False Christ) will appear after the Muslim army conquers Constantinople.

The Dajjal will finally be killed by Prophet Jesus عليه السلام who will descend to Earth and spread peace.

1. Has the Dajjal been alive and chained in a remote Island in the East for hundreds of years ?

In a Hadith narrated by Fatima bint Qays, Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم   once gathered the Muslims in the mosque after prayer and told them a story about the Dajjal being chained in a remote Island in the East. In our opinion, if this Hadith is authentic, the Dajjal in this story could be the last Dajjal. 

 Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

"I have kept you here because Tamim Ad-Dari, a Christian man who has embraced Islam, told me something which agrees with what I have told you about the Dajjal. He told me that he had sailed in a ship with thirty men from Banu Lakham and Banu Juzam. The sea waves rocked them about for a month, and finally drew them  toward an island around sunset time. They approached the island and landed. They were met by a beast that was so hairy that they could not tell its front from its back. They said: 'Woe to you! Who are you?' It said: 'I am Al-Jassasah.' They said: 'What is Al-Jassasah?' It said: 'O people, go to the man in the monastery, for he is very eager to know about you.’ Tamim said that when it named a person to us we left quickly fearing that it might be a devil.

Tamim Dari said we quickly went to the monastery. There, we found a huge man whom we had never seen before. His hands were tied up to his neck and his legs tied up with with iron shackles. We said: 'Woe to you, who are you?' He said: 'You will soon know about me. Tell me who you are.'

We said: 'We are people from Arabia. We sailed on a ship, but the waves have been tossing us around about for a month, and they brought us to your island, where we met a very hairy beast.  It said: 'I am Al-Jassasah.' We asked: 'What is Al-Jassasah?' and it told us: 'Go to the man in the monastery, for he is very eager to know about you.' So we came to you quickly.

The man said: 'Tell me about the date-palm trees of Bisan (town in Northern Palestine, near Jordan River, renamed by Israel as Beit She'an).' We said: 'What do you want to know about them'?' He said: 'I want to know whether these trees bear fruits or not.' We said 'Yes'. He said: 'Soon, they will not bear fruits.'

Then he said: 'Tell me about the Lake of Tiberias (Sea of Galilee in Northern Palestine).' We said: 'What do you want to know about it?' He said: 'Is there water in it'?' We said: 'There is plenty of water in it.' He said: 'Soon, it will become dry.'

Then he said: 'Tell me about the Spring of Zughar (near the Dead Sea in Palestine).' We asked: 'What do you want to know about it'?' He asked: 'Is there water in it, and does it irrigate the land'?' We said: 'Yes, there is plenty of water in it, and the people use it to irrigate the land.'

Then he said: 'Tell me about the illiterate Prophet [Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ], what has he done?' We said: 'He has left Makka (Mecca) and settled in Yathrib (Madina).' He said: 'Do the Arabs fight against him'?' We said 'Yes'. He said: 'How does he deal with them'?' So we told him that Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم  had overcome the Arabs around him and that they had followed him. He asked: 'Has it really happened?' We said 'Yes'. He said: 'It is better for them to follow him. Now I will tell you about myself. I am the Dajjal. I will soon be permitted to leave this place: I will emerge and travel about the Earth. In forty nights, I will pass through every town, except Makka (Mecca) and Tiba (Madina), for these have been forbidden to me. Every time I try to enter either of them, I will be met by an angel bearing an unsheathed sword, who will prevent me from entering. There will be angels guarding them at every route leading to them.'

Fatima bint Qays said: Then, the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم  struck the minbar (pulpit) with his cane and said: 'This is Tiba, this is Tiba, this is Tiba,' meaning Madina. 'Did I not tell you this before?' The people said: 'Yes'. [The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم   said:] 'I liked the story of Tamim because it agrees with what I used to tell you about him and about Makka (Mecca) and Madina. But he is in the Syrian Sea (Mediterranean Sea) or the Yemeni Sea (Arabian Sea). No, rather he is in the East, he in the East, he is in the East,' and he pointed towards the East with his hand. She said: I memorized this from the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم . ” (Sahih Muslim).

2. Signs that will precede the Dajjal (AntiChrist or False Messiah)

(a)  Al-Malhama Al-Kubra (Big War) followed by the Conquest of Constantinople

After Muslims win Al-Malhama Al-Kubra (The Big Battle, this is probably the Bible's Armageddon ), some time later, Muslims will conquer Constantinople with Takbir (without any battle or bloodshed). Then, the last Dajjal appears.

(b)  Lake of Tiberias (Sea of Galilee) will dry up

According to the story of Tamim Ad-Dari, mentioned above, the Dajjal foretold that there will be no more water in this lake.

(c)  The Great Famine
According to some weak narrations, there will be a famine for three years before his appearance. In the first year of the famine, Heaven will withhold one third of its rain and the Earth one third of its crops. In the second year of the famine, Heaven will withhold two thirds of its rain and the Earth will withhold two thirds of its crops. In the third year, there will not be a single drop of rain and not a single thing will grow. Thus, all the animals with hoofs and biting teeth will die and the Tasbeeh (mentioning Subhan-Allah) will suffice the believers' hunger. (Asma-bin-Yazeed/ Mishkat)

(d)  Arabs/Muslims will be small in number
A Hadith, by Umm Shareek which can be found in Sahih Muslim, indicates that the Arabs/Muslims will be small in number (possibly because the Dajjal appears after the famine, spread of epidemic diseases, and Armageddon War in which lots of Arabs/Muslims will die).

(e) Few Religiously knowledgeable People 

A Hadith of Jabir bin Abdullah which can be found in Ibn Kathir's An-Nihaya indicates that  few people will be knowledgeable in Islamic religious principles and doctrines, and thus ignorance in religious matters will be prevalent.

3. The Dajjal's Parents

The following weak Hadith is reported by Abu Bakara: "His father will be tall and thin and his nose will be pointed like a beak, while his mother will be fat with two long hands. They will both remain thirty years without a child. After thirty years, a son with visual impairment in one eye, biting teeth and of little benefit will be born to them whose heart will remain awake while his eyes sleep."  (Tirmizi)

4. Dajjal's Physical Description & Characteristics

Based on the Hadiths listed below, some of them could be weak Hadiths, the Dajjal (Anti-Christ) is relatively young¹, fat man², reddish in complexion³ , with a broad chest ⁴,and biting teeth⁵. He resembles Abdul Uzzah bin Qatad from the tribe of Khuza'a.⁶  His head will have coarse, curly hair⁸ . He has a hairy body⁷. On his forehead, the Arabic letters ك (ka), ف  (Fa),  ر (Ra)  (which mean unbeliever) will be appear written between his eyes which every believer will be able to clearly see and read, regardless of whether the believer is literate or illiterate ⁹. He has a shining forehead¹⁰.. He walks briskly¹¹. He has no children.¹²

Anas bin Malik narrated that Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said: " The Dajjal, between his eyes, is written  ك  (K), ف  (F),  ر (R) , meaning Kafir (unbeliever)..." (Sahih Muslim)

Abdullah bin Umar narrated that Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم  said. "While I was sleeping, I saw myself (in a dream) performing Tawaf (circumambulation) around the Ka'ba (in Mecca). Behold, I saw a handsome (“reddish-white” according to some variations of this Hadith) man with straight hair, and water was dripping from his head. I asked, "Who is he?' They replied, 'The Son of Mary (meaning Jesus)'. Then I turned my face, and there was a stocky (fat)  man, with red complexion, coarse & curly hair, and Awar (with deformed eye). His eye looked like a floating grape. They said 'This is the Dajjal '. (The Prophet added) 'Among people who resemble him (the Dajjal) most is Ibn Qatan, a man from the tribe of Khuza'a'." (Sahih Bukhari)

Many Hadiths state that the Dajjal (Anti-Christ) is Awar which means having one or two eyes deformed /disfigured:

- Most Hadiths indicate that the right eye is the seriously deformed /disfigured one; but some Hadiths indicate that it is the left eye.

- Most of the Hadiths that indicate both eyes are deformed /disfigured seem to portray that the condition of the right eye is more serious to the extent that he is most likely blind in his right eye, while the left eye is not blind, but just looks ugly.    

However, the Dajjal does NOT necessarily have to be have physically Awar. It is possible that the word Awar, numerically, tells us something distinctive about the Dajjal.                                                       

Abdullah ibn Umar narrated that Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم  stood up amongst the people and then praised and glorified Allah as He deserved and then he mentioned the Dajjal, saying, "I warn you of him, and there was no prophet but warned his followers of him; but I will tell you something about him which no prophet has told his followers: Ad-Dajjal is Awar (has a deformed eye) whereas Allah is not." (Sahih Bukhari )

5. When will the Anti-Christ appear?

حدثنا منصور بن أبي مزاحم حدثنا يحيى بن حمزة عن الأوزاعي عن إسحق بن عبد الله عن عمه أنس بن مالك

 أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال يتبع الدجال من يهود أصبهان سبعون ألفا عليهم الطيالسة

Anas bin Malik said that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said "Seventy thousand of the Jews of Isfahan (a city in Iran) will follow the Dajjal, wearing Tayalisa (type of hoods or turbans)." ( Sahih Muslim)

2. Version 2:

حدثنا محمد بن مصعب حدثنا الأوزاعي عن ربيعة بن أبي عبد الرحمن عن أنس بن مالك قال

  قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يخرج من يهودية أصبهان معه سبعون ألفا من عليهم التيجان

Mohammad bin Musab said that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: " Seventy thousand from the Jews of Isfahan (a city in Iran) wearing Al-Tijan (crowns or turbans) will come out with the Dajjal." (Musnad Ahmad and Tabarani)

3. Version 3:

أبي سعيد الخدري قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :  يتبع الدجال من أمتي سبعون ألفا عليهم السيجان

رواه البغوي في "شرح السنة"، ورواه عبد الرزاق في "مصنفه"

Abu Saeed Al-Khudri said that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: " The Dajjal will be followed by seventy thousand from my Umma (nation of Muslims) wearing Al-Sijan (type of hoods or turbans, associated with Sijistan, known today as Sistan, in Iran). " (Al-Baghawi and Abd-Al-Razzaq)

3. Version 4:

حدثنا أحمد بن عبد الملك حدثنا محمد بن سلمة عن محمد بن إسحاق عن محمد بن طلحة عن سالم عن ابن عمر قال

 قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ينزل الدجال في هذه السبخة بمرقناة فيكون أكثر من يخرج إليه النساء حتى إن الرجل ليرجع إلى حميمه وإلى أمه وابنته وأخته وعمته فيوثقها رباطا مخافة أن تخرج إليه ثم يسلط الله المسلمين عليه فيقتلونه ويقتلون شيعته حتى إن اليهودي ليختبئ تحت الشجرة أو الحجر فيقول الحجر أو الشجرة للمسلم هذا يهودي تحتي فاقتله

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) told us in a Hadith that " .... Allah will grant the Muslims victory over Dajjal and the Muslims will kill him and his Shia; when the Shia of Dajjal hide behind a tree or a stone, then the tree and the stone will say to the Muslim that there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him." (Musnad Imam Ahmad #5099)

The word Shia means followers, groupies, fans, etc. However, is it possible the Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم  is giving us a hint that the Shia will be among Dajjal's main followers.

حدثنا محمد بن كثير أخبرنا سفيان عن عمر بن محمد عن عمر مولى غفرة عن رجل من الأنصار عن حذيفة قال

 .قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لكل أمة مجوس ومجوس هذه الأمة الذين يقولون لا قدر من مات منهم فلا تشهدوا جنازته ومن مرض منهم فلا تعودوهم وهم شيعة الدجال وحق على الله أن يلحقهم بالدجال

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم ) said: “In every Ummah (nation), there are Magians (Zoroastrians) and the Magians of this Ummah (Muslim nation) are those who reject the Qadr (pre-destination). If anyone amongst them dies, do not attend their funeral, and if anyone amongst them becomes sick, don’t visit them and they are Shia of the Dajjal and it is the right of God to join them with the Dajjal.” (Sunan Abu Dawud and Musnad Ahmad)

The descendants of the Magians  are none other than the Persians who mix Magianism (Zoroastrian religion) with Islam. It is well-known that most of the Persians (Iranians) today are Shia. So, the Shia of Iran are the descendants of the Magians.

و حدثنا ‏ ‏ابن نمير ‏ ‏حدثنا ‏ ‏إسحق يعني ابن سليمان ‏ ‏أخبرنا ‏ ‏حنظلة ‏ ‏قال سمعت ‏ ‏سالما ‏ ‏يقول سمعت ‏ ‏ابن عمر ‏ ‏يقولا ‏
‏سمعت رسول الله ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏يشير بيده نحو المشرق ويقول ‏ ‏ها إن الفتنة هاهنا ها إن الفتنة هاهنا ثلاثا حيث يطلع قرنا الشيطان

Abdullah bin Umar said I heard Messenger of Allah (Prophet Mohammad) صلى الله عليه وسلم  pointing toward the East and say ' The Fitna (strife, trial and tribulation) is here, three times, where the two Horns of Satan rise'. (Sahih Muslim).

It is worth noting that Sahih Muslim lists 6 very slight variations of this Hadith reported through different chains of narrators, but all of them are attributed it to Abdullah bin Umar. This indicates it is a very reliable Hadith, since several people have reported hearing it. It is rare that the same Hadith is listed in 6 different variations in the same Hadith book.

One variation mentions "Head of Kufr (Disbelief)" instead of "Fitna":

        حدثنا أبو بكر بن أبي شيبة حدثنا وكيع ، عن عكرمة بن عمار ، عن سالم ، عن ابن عمر ، قال : خرج رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من بيت عائشة ، فقال : " رأس الكفر من هاهنا من حيث يطلع قرن الشيطان يعني المشرق    (Sahih Muslim)

Ibn Omar said : The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم came out of the house of Aisha and said: “ Head of the Kufr (Disbelief or Disbelievers) is from there , from where the Horn of Satan emerges (or rises)”, meaning the East. (Sahih Muslim)

The following  variation of the above Hadith, but it ends with "Horn of Satan" not the "Two Horns of Satan":

حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد حدثنا ليث ح وحدثني محمد بن رمح أخبرنا الليث عن نافع عن ابن عمر

 أنه سمع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو مستقبل المشرق يقول ألا إن الفتنة هاهنا ألا إن الفتنة هاهنا من حيث يطلع قرن الشيطان

حدثني عبد الله بن محمد حدثنا هشام بن يوسف عن معمر عن الزهري عن سالم عن أبيه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قام إلى جنب المنبر فقال الفتنة ها هنا الفتنة ها هنا من حيث يطلع قرن الشيطان أو قال قرن الشمس  

‏حدثنا ‏ ‏عبد بن حميد ‏ ‏حدثنا ‏ ‏عبد الرزاق ‏ ‏أخبرنا ‏ ‏معمر ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏الزهري ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏سالم ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏ابن عمر ‏ ‏قال ‏
‏قام رسول الله ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏على المنبر فقال ‏ ‏هاهنا أرض الفتن وأشار إلى المشرق ‏ ‏يعني حيث يطلع ‏ ‏جذل الشيطان ‏ ‏أو قال ‏ ‏قرن الشيطان ‏
‏هذا ‏ ‏حديث حسن صحيح  (Tirmizi)

«ها هنا أرض الفتن -وأشار الى المشرق-، وحيث يطلع قرن الشيطان»  (Bukhari)
 

Other relevant Hadiths include:

ثلاث إذا خرجن لم ينفع { نفسا إيمانها لم تكن آمنت من قبل } الآية الدجال ، والدابة ، وطلوع الشمس من المغرب – أو من مغربها
الراوي: أبو هريرة المحدث: الألباني - المصدر: صحيح الترمذي

Abu Huraira said: "Three signs that once they occur, the soul will not benefit from believing (in God) if it did not believe before ... (verse 6:158): the Dajjal, Daabba, and Sun rise from the West." (Tirmizi and Al-Albani)

The following 2 narrations are from Shia books:

مختصر بصائر الدرجات - الحسن بن سليمان الحلي - ص 31
ورد في كتاب كمال الدين و تمام النعمة لابن بابويه القمي  فقام إليه الاصبغ بن نباتة فقال: يا أمير المؤمنين من الدجال؟ فقال؟ ألا إن الدجال صائد بن الصيد، فالشقي من صدقه، والسعيد من كذبه، يخرج من بلدة يقال لها أصفهان، من قرية تعرف باليهودية، عينه اليمني ممسوحة، والعين الاخري في جبهته تضئ كأنها كوكب الصبح، فيها علقة كأنها ممزوجة بالدم، بين عينيه مكتوب كافر، يقرؤه كل كاتب وأمي، يخوض البحار وتسير معه الشمس، بين يديه جبل من دخان ...)
 

عن النبي الأكرم(صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) إن الدجال ليس بذي خفاء، أنه يجيء من قبل المشرق((وظهور الدجال يخرج بالمشرق من سجستان)) فيدعو إلى حق فيتبع وينتصب له ناس يقاتلونه فيظهر عليهم، فلا يزال على ذلك حتى يقدم الكوفة فيظهر دين الله ويعمل به ويحث عليه، ويقول بعد أني نبي، فيفزع لذلك كل ذي لب فيفارقه، ويمكث بعد ذلك ثم يقول أنا الله، فتطمس عينه اليمنى ويصمغ أذنه ويكتب بين عينيه كافر، فلا يخفى على مسلم، ويفارقه كل أحد في قلبه مثقال ذرة من خردل من إيمان فيفارقه، ويكون أصحابه وجنوده هذه اليهود والمجوس والنصارى وأعاجم المشركين

7. The Trials & Tribulations caused by the Dajjal (AntiChrist or False Christ)

(a) The Dajjal's Trickery, Deception, and Super-Natural Acts

Two angels resembling two Prophets, one on either side will accompany him. This will be to test mankind. Hence, the Dajjal will ask, "Am I not your Lord (God) ? Do I not give life and death?" One of the angels will reply, "You are a liar." However, nobody will be able to hear this reply besides the other angel. The second angel addressing the first angel will say, "You are speaking the truth." Every body will hear what this second angel said and will think that an angel is testifying that the Dajjal is Allah (God), though in reality this second angel was addressing the first and agreeing with his reply that the Dajjal is a liar.   (Safeena/ Musnad Ahrnad)

The Dajjal will cure those born blind, restoring their eyesight and cure the lepers.  (Abdullah bin Mugaffal/ Kanzul Unimal)

He will approach a Bedouin whose parents have passed away and will say to him, "Will you believe that I am your Lord if I bring your parents back to life?" The Bedouin will reply, "Yes." The demons, that are accompanying the Dajjal, will assume the appearance of his parents and say to the Bedouin, "Oh son believe in him and follow him, he is your Lord.' The Bedouin will be deceived into believing the Dajjal.   (Ibn Majah, Ibn Khuzaymah, and Al-Hakim).

He will come to another Bedouin and say, "Will you believe in me as your Lord if I bring your camel back to life?" "Yes", he will reply. He will make a figure for him like his camel, which will have a beautiful odour and a big hump.   (Asma bin Yazeed /Mishkat)

Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم  has informed us: "He (the Dajjal) will have two flowing rivers. One (river) will appear to be pure water, and the other will appear to be flaming fire. Whosoever lives to see that, let him choose the river that seems to be fire, then let him close his eyes and drink from it, for it will be cold water...and the cool water will be fire." (Sahih Bukhari). A variation of this Hadith says: "Whoever meets the Dajjal and sees the water and the fire, he should fall in the fire and not the water, as the fire will actually be water and the water will actually be fire.'' (Huzaifah/Mishkat). Another variation of this Hadith "...he will also have Paradise and Hell with him. Though his Paradise will appear as Paradise, in reality it will be Hell, and likewise, though his Hell will appear like Hell, in reality it will be Paradise." (Sahih Muslim)

(b) The Dajjal (AntiChrist) faces Opposition

Abu Saeed al-Khudri said that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم  said: "On hearing about the Dajjal, a true believer will head towards him. However, on the way, he will be stopped by Dajjal's soldiers and asked where he is intending to go. Replying that he is going to meet the person who claims that he is Allah, the soldiers doubting him will ask, ''Do you not believe in our Lord (Dajjal) ?'' He will reply there is nothing hidden about our Lord Allah so how can I take Dajjal as my Lord. Angry at his reply, they will decide to kill him. But all of a sudden, one of them will say, ''Hasn't our Lord (Dajjal) prohibited us from killing anyone without his permission?" Thus, they will take him to the Dajjal. On seeing the Dajjal, he will shout, "O people this is the Dajjal the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم  mentioned and warned the believers of". Dajjal will give an order for him to be killed. He will be placed on his belly and severely beaten. He will be asked, "Do you still not believe in him?" "No! You are the lying Dajjal" he will reply. The true believer will then be cut into two pieces, the Dajjal will walk in between the two pieces and address him, "Stand up." The true believer will become alive and stand up in one piece. Yet again, he will be asked, "Do you now believe in me?" He will reply, "It has only added to my insight concerning you that you are really the Dajjal." The believer will then proclaim, "O people he will not be able to do anything to any man after me." The Dajjal angry at his refusal, will grab hold of him and place a knife between his neck and throat to slaughter him, but he will be unsuccessful as Allah will place copper in that area and the knife will find no way to penetrate. The Dajjal will grab hold of his hands and legs and throw him into the fire. However, the fire will turn into a pleasant garden for him. This person will be the greatest martyr in the eyes of Allah and achieve the highest position due to his first death, which was caused by severance of the body in two pieces." ( Sahih Muslim)

(c) Believers in Allah will face hardship while the believers in the Dajjal (Anti-Christ) will temporarily rejoice

Nawwas bin Samaan said that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم  said: "He will come to some people claiming to be Allah and they will believe him. Upon his order, the sky will rain, and the Earth will produce crops  for these people. Their animals will graze on their land and return to them in the evening with large udders full of milk and their flanks full (stretched). Then, he will go to other people and call them, but they will refuse to believe in him. Without forcing them, he will leave. However, they will suffer great famine and will be left with no wealth. However, when these true believers wake up in the morning they will find that they are penniless and all their properties have been destroyed."   (Sahih Muslim)

He will pass by the wasteland and say: bring forth your treasures' and its treasures will follow him like swarms of bees." (Sahih Muslim).

(d) Dajjal's Rewards & Punishments
He will have a mountain of bread with him, but he will only give bread to those that believe and follow him.   (Jabir bin Abdullah/ Ibn Kathir's An-Nihaya)

(e) The Earth will uncover treasure at his command
Passing by a place in ruins, he will order it to uncover its hidden treasure. The earth will immediately uncover its hidden treasure and the treasure will literally follow him wherever he goes  like bees following the queen bee.   (Nawwas bin Samaan/ Sahih Muslim)

(f) The Dajjal (Anti-Christ) lures Women
The Dajjal will make a stop at a place called Markanat (near Taif, Saudi Arabia). On hearing about his arrival, the women will rush towards him, the men will be forced to tie their mothers, daughters, and sisters fearing they will believe in him and get caught up in Fitna (trial and tribulation).   (Ibn Umar/ Musnad Ahmad)

8. Safe Haven of Makka (Mecca) and Madina (Medina)

Anas bin Malik narrated that Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم  said: "There will be no town the Dajjal will not visit, except Makka (Mecca) and Madina, for all their gates will be guarded by angels surrounding them. So, he will camp at the salt-marsh near Madina (other narrations specify Dajjal will camp in Ahud mountain near Madina). Madina will be shaken by three tremors (earthquakes), after which every disbeliever and hypocrite will leave it (to follow the Dajjal) ." (Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)

Abu Huraira narrated that Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم  said: "The Dajjal will come from the direction of the East with the intention of attacking Medina until he camps behind Uhud (near Madina). Then, the angels (protecting Madina) will turn his face towards AsSham (Greater Syria) and there, he (the Dajjal) will perish." (Sahih Muslim)

Abu Huraira narrated that Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم   said: "There are angels guarding the mountain passes (entrances) of Madina, neither plague nor Ad-Dajjal will be able to enter it." (Sahih Bukhari)

‏قَالَ ‏ ‏أَبُو دَاوُد ‏ ‏حُدِّثْتُ عَنْ ‏ ‏ابْنِ وَهْبٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏نَافِعٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏ابْنِ عُمَرَ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏
‏قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏يُوشِكُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ أَنْ يُحَاصَرُوا إِلَى ‏ ‏الْمَدِينَةِ ‏ ‏حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَبْعَدَ ‏ ‏مَسَالِحِهِمْ ‏ ‏سَلَاحِ
