Can You Give İnformation About Dajjal? What Are The Characteristics Of Dajjal?

**Prof. Dr. Sinsi** · 10-11-2012

There is a famous story in the Quran, the story of Talut

Talut is tested together with his soldiers at a stream

There are two streams with Dajjal and the people of the end of time are tested through those streams

Before proceeding to the two streams of Dajjal, let us have a look at the story of the streams of Talut to find out about the similarities

The Children of Israel, who suffered oppression and torture in each era, faced troubles again after Moses and said to a prophet that was among them: "Appoint for us a king that we may fight in the cause of Allah

"
Their Prophet warned them: "Is it not possible, if you were commanded to fight, that you will not fight?"
They said: "How could we refuse to fight in the cause of Allah seeing that we were turned out of our homes and our families?"
However, when they were commanded to fight, they turned back except a small band among them

Allah appointed Talut as king over them

Talut set forth with the armies towards the enemy

They reached a stream

They would be exposed to another testing

Talut said:
“Allah will test you at the stream; if any drinks of its water, he goes not with my army; only those who taste not of it go with me; a mere sip out of the hand is excused

”
They drank of it, except a few

When they crossed the river― he and the faithful ones with him they said: "This day we cannot cope with Goliath and his forces

" However, those who were convinced that they must meet Allah, said: "How oft, by Allah's will, hath a small force vanquished a big one? Allah is with those who steadfastly persevere

"
"When they advanced to meet Goliath and his forces, they prayed: "Our Lord! Pour out constancy on us and make our steps firm; Help us against those that reject faith

"
By Allah's will, they routed them: and David slew Goliath

That incident is narrated in Chapter al-Baqara, verses 246-251

Now, let us look at the differences between Talut and Hazrat Mahdi

Talut was a brave and daring commander

Hazrat Mahdi is a spiritual commander that was brave and reckless against the evilest enemies

Talut and his soldiers were tested through not drinking from the stream; those who drank became weak and powerless and collapsed; the very small group that did not drink it fought the enemy heroically and defeated the enemy

Hazrat Mahdi and his soldiers, that is, his students, will be tested through the stream of Dajjal

That strong-willed group “whose number will be the same as the number of the soldiers of Talut”(50) and that base their acts on sincerity, loyalty and solidarity will see that the sweet watery stream is actually fire and the water of the stream that looks like a bright fire is actually cold water and they will not drink the sweet water

Those who drink will lose the testing

Now let us proceed to those two streams that the Messenger of Allah mentions

Once, while telling his companions about Dajjal, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) says, "I know what Dajjal has better than him

" And goes on as follows:
"There are two streams flowing near him

One of the is white in appearance

The other one seems like a bright fire

Whoever reaches that time should go to the side of the river that looks like a fire and drink from it

The stream that looks like a bright fire consists of cold water

"(51)
In another narration, it is stated that there mountains of water and bread with Dajjal

(52)
In another narration in Muslim, it is stated that he has its own Paradise and hell ant the his Hell is Paradise and his Paradise is Hell

(53) He puts those who follow him into his Paradise and those who do not follow him into his Hell

(54)
Interpreting those hadiths, scholars say Dajjal will put believers who do not bow down to him into Hell with torture

Aliyyu'l-Qari says, "His water is bounty and taste; his fire is hardship, torture and agony

"(55) He also says that the believers that do not accept Dajjal will be in discomfort, trouble, suffering and agony but they will show consent, gratitude and patience with the grace and grant of Allah

(56)
When that situation is explained in an hadith, it is clearly stated that the community that does not accept Dajjal will suffer famine that their goods will be confiscated and that those who accept him will receive bounties

(57)
Asqalani states that what is meant by Paradise may be taste and bounties and what is meant by Hell may be torture and agony

(58)
Dajjal, who established a tyranny with his material power and means and his intelligence and slyness, makes a community that does not accept him suffer famine and he confiscates all of their goods

(59)
Yes, Dajjal, who uses mischief as the greatest trump, presents his followers with the pleasures and enjoyments of the civilization, honors them with ranks, positions and material means, gives them welfare and happiness, that is, he makes them live a kind of Paradise life

He punishes those who do not accept him with famine, agony, torture and trouble, and makes life a dungeon for them

Prisons become like Hell in his era

In his era, schools will be an ugly imitation of huri and ghilman, prisons will be places of torture and dungeons, one ear of his donkey, that is the train he rides, will be an area of feast for his friends and the other ear will be an oven of fire
