Ibn Umar (Radi Allahu Anhu) narrated from the Prophet (Sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam): ‘The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of all that exists.’ He said: “One of them will be standing in sweat up to the middle of his ears.” (Grade:Sahih (Darussalam)
Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3336, In-book reference : Book 47, Hadith 388, English translation : Vol. 5, Book 44, Hadith 3336).
Part of the preparation for the last days is knowing the signs of the Dajjal and what will happen when he arrives.
The Dajjāl or the Anti-Christ is a major sign leading up to the day of Judgement.
From the Islamic point of view, some of the pertinent points regarding the Dajjāl, his emergence and his demise are as follows:
1. Imam Mahdī will have appeared before Dajjāl’s arrival.
2. A great famine for three years will be in place prior to Dajjāl’s emergence.
3. Religious learning and practice will be at a low, ignorance will be rampant.
4. Some wars will take place around the time of Dajjāl’s coming. Dajjāl will emerge from the east and will travel at a quick pace from city to city covering almost the entire world. He will not be able to enter Makkah and Madīnah.
5. The Dajjāl will perform unusual feats and cause corruption and chaos wherever he goes.
6. The Dajjāl is described as a young, obese man, brown in complexion with a broad chest. He will have curly hair. “ka fa ra’ will be written on his forehead. Both eyes are defective. The left eye has a swelled pupil while he is blind from the right eye. He will walk briskly. He will have no offspring. He will [make a false] claim [of] prophet-hood thereafter being God.
7. Finally the Prophet ‘Īsa (Jesus) – peace be upon him – will descend, confront the Dajjāl and destroy him.
The Day of Judgement will be a day of reckoning for all of us. It’s easy to be afraid and fear for our sins but it is better to seek Allah’s (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) Forgiveness and Mercy because He is the All-Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Asking Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) to forgive you every day and taking steps to improve your character and life will pave your way to a better future and salvation Insha’Allah.
Seek refuge in Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) often and you will find protection and salvation. (*)
