What are the characteristics of Dajjal? As the following hadith denotes the mischief of Dajjal is the biggest mischief in the world: "There will be no bigger incident (in another narration mischief) than Dajjal right from the creation of Adam to the Last Hour

"(1)

It is very important for our spiritual life to know Dajjal, who is the Pioneer of a terrifying destruction

Thus, we can protect ourselves from his evil and save our spiritual world from dangers

It is a great heedlessness and disaster that will bring about a lot of risks not to know or not to be able to know him

Since his advent is one of the greatest incidents in the universe and since he can do the destruction that Nimrods and Pharaohs could not do, it is necessary to show the maximum effort to know him

In order to know the true nature of that terrifying man whose name is mentioned everywhere like basmala (the name of Allah), on every occasion, who is put forward everywhere and who has a very painful influence on the world of Islam and future, “if thousands of people like us were to be sent to prison, and even to be executed, it would still be cheap with regard to the religion of Islam

” When its true nature is learned, even the most obdurate people will be saved from absolute disbelief to a certain extent, will doubt their disbelief and will moderate their arrogant and insolent aggression

(2)

To be in favor of Dajjal intentionally is the greatest disaster; it means death spiritually

Eighty percent of the people cannot realize the truth because they are not investigative

However, they look at the scholars and imitate them

What if the scholars cannot find the truth? If the scholars go to the extremes (excess and negligence) and have wrong ideas, people will not be able to find the truth and will not be free of doubts and hesitation

Unfortunately, there have been extremes (excess and negligence) regarding the issue up to now

Some scholars who lived in the past and who live now say that something like that cannot happen by looking at some of the extraordinary characteristics of Dajjal while some others prefer to wait for Dajjal as it is described in the hadiths without making any interpretations

While the former group express impossibility, the latter group say that everything is possible from the point of view of Allah’s power and that it is not impossible for such a Dajjal to come if He wishes

However, under normal circumstances, it is not possible for a man to have a height taller than a minaret, to have the word ‘kafir’ written on his forehead, to walk around the world in forty days, for a donkey to have a distance of 40 arshins (1 arshin=68 cm) between its two ears and to bray so high that the whole world will hear it; they cannot happen word for word

If a man having those characteristics came, everybody would know he was Dajjal and it would be contrary to the concept of testing

However, since the Messenger of Allah informs us about them, it is impossible to deny them

They will take place one by one

However, it is necessary to know their interpretations so that they will not be regarded irrational and it will be understood that they are appropriate and have wisdom

Then, it is important to learn Dajjal as he is

Therefore, Islamic scholars demanded that children be given information about Dajjal when they are young and that the information about him should be present in the school curriculum

How is Dajjal known easily? It cannot be thought that the Messenger of Allah, who always thinks about his umma and more than anybody else, who regards their joys as his own joy and their pains as his own pain, will not warn his umma against him and that he will not inform us about his nature, characteristics, functions and activities

If a person lives an Islamic life and takes into account the information given in hadiths, it will not be difficult to know him

In a hadith, it is pointed out that "Those who do not like Dajjal’s life and activities will know him

"(3)

An Islamic life based on a strong belief will not make it difficult to see Dajjal and Mahdi, who will struggle against him

It is impossible not to see that our Prophet calls his umma to be alert by informing them about Dajjal’s outstanding characteristics

The hadith experts interpreted and explained clearly those hadiths most of which were expressed using signs and similes and made things easy for us

Yes, the Messenger of Allah listed the characteristics of Dajjal one by one but he stated his opinion by saying, "I feel anxious that you may confuse"(4)

If one does not look at things with the light and sagacity of belief, confusion is always possible

a

He is Jewish

Dajjal is Jewish

When his activities are considered, it is not astonishing that he is Jewish

The Jews regard it as a feather in the cap

According to what is stated in Alusi tafsir, once the Jews came to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and said, "The end of time Dajjal will emerge from among us; he will do this and that "

Upon this, God Almighty sent down the 56th verse of Chapter al-Mumin

According to what is stated in Abu's-Suud tafsir, the Jews said to following to the Messenger of Allah:

"You are not our owner that is mentioned in the Torah

The son of David is Messiah

It is what you call Dajjal

He will emerge at the end of time and will dominate the whole world; the property and sovereignty will belong to us

"

In the verse that was sent down – which we mentioned above – Allah answered them as follows: "Those who dispute about the Signs of Allah without any authority bestowed on them― there is nothing in their breasts but (the quest of) greatness, which they shall never attain to: seek refuge, then, in Allah: it is He Who hears and sees (all things)

"

b

His body structure

Dajjal is a huge, formidable (5), red-skinned (6), curly (7) person with a large neck and wide forehead (8)

He has short and wide apart legs

(9) The word “kafir” is written on his forehead

(10) Every believer, whether literate or illiterate, can read it

Everybody who does not like what he has done will read that writing

(11)

It is opposite to the concept of testing if an obvious, visible word, kafir, exists on the forehead of someone

Then, something else should be meant by it

We see the following interpretation in Şualar (Rays) about it: "It may be interpreted as follows: Sufyan will wear the headgear of non-believers, and make everyone else wear it

However, since it will be generally adopted under compulsion and the force of the law, when that headgear is taken into prostration [in worship], it will become rightly-guided, God willing, so that those who wear it —unwillingly— will not become unbelievers
