al-Dajjal (the False Messiah)

Al-Masih al-Dajjal (the False Messiah) adalah greatest trial that humanity will face before the Day of Judgment, digambarkan in extensive detail in the hadith of Nabi Muhammad ﷺ. The Nabi ﷺ warned: 'There adalah no prophet between Adam and myself except that he warned his people about al-Dajjal.' He adalah digambarkan sebagai a man, one-eyed (his right eye adalah like a floating grape, blind and discolored), with the word 'kafir' (disbeliever) written between his eyes — which every Muslim, literate or not, will be able to read. He will emerge from between Suriah and Irak (according to some riwayat-riwayat, from Khorasan — the east), followed pada awalnya by 70,000 Jews of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls. He will travel the entire earth in forty days (the first day like a year, the second like a month, the third like a week, then normal days). He will command rain and crops to grow, command the earth to yield its treasures, and command the sky to withhold rain — trials that will deceive many. He will claim to be the Messiah, then to be Lord. He will be given power to produce fire and apparent paradise and hell — which adalah actually the reverse. The Nabi ﷺ advised: 'Whoever hears of the Dajjal, let him flee from him. By Allah, a man will think he adalah seorang believer and follow him because of his confusing trials.' His only limits: he cannot enter Mekkah or Madinah. He will be killed by Isa ibn Maryam AS at the gate of Ludd (Lod, Israel) at the end of the battle. The Nabi ﷺ said: 'From the time of Adam until the Hour, there adalah no creation greater in trial than al-Dajjal.'
