Jesus (as) and the messiah dajjal

The messiah-dajjal: One who portrays truth as falsehood and falsehood as truth. According to trustworthy hadith, he is a person who will come in the End Times and deny Allah, claiming to be divine himself, will spread discord in the world. (Great TUR-DAV Dictionary)

The Last Hour will not come before there come forth thirty dajjals (imposters), each presenting himself as an apostle of Allah. (Sunan Tirmidhi, 4/82)

Many false messiahs (dajjal) will appear before the coming of Jesus (as):

Because the Prophet Jesus (as) will be left to Earth in the state in which he was initially taken into the sky, there is no possibility of anyone with a mother and father and having reached the age of 33 being the Prophet Jesus (as). The false messiahs (dajjal’s) who appear before him will also have mothers and fathers. Once they reach a certain age they fraudulently claim that they are the Prophet Jesus (as). However, careful, foresighted and rational people will recognize these lies for what they are and will not be taken in by them. This will correspond to the time when the dajjal employs the materialist-Marxist strategy aimed at becoming the ruler of the world.

This time the dajjal will change its strategy again for world domination and he will seek to use “Creationism,” which will have defeated materialism, for his own end. He will employ the Creation against human beings, he will appear in the name of Allah, and even claim that he is a prophet, but from the fitnah that comes into existence, it will be evident that he is the dajjal.

The messiah dajjal will perform many misleading marvels by using such methods as hypnotism, magnetism and magic. He will claim to be the anticipated Messiah (as) [that is, Prophet Jesus (as)]. (The Messiah is one of the names of the Prophet Jesus (as)).

Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, the great Islamic scholar, explains the fraudulent nature of Messiah dajjal as follows:

And the greatest of them who assumes leadership of them, the dajjal who works great marvels by way of hypnotism and magnetism, will go even further and in his tyrannical rule will declare his greatness, imagining himself to be a kind of divinity. (Mahdi and Dajjal, Şaban Döğen, p.74-75)

As Said Nursi states in these words, dajjal may deceive many people of weak faith who are deprived of information with displays of hypnotism and magic. Especially during a period in which the entire Christian world awaits Prophet Jesus (as) and Jews await the Messiah (as), the false miracles and frauds displayed by dajjal may cause many a people to be deceived by him.

The dajjal, who calls himself the Messiah, will further encourage the immorality, sexual perversion and homosexuality which is being portrayed as legitimate andencouraged in and in many countries around the world. Many people who will expect to have benefits from him, who are deceived by his plots, and deceived to assume the hell he shows as paradise will join the dajjal. In the guise of a false prophet, the dajjal will also try to influence the devout. However, he will actually try to create dissent among them, debilitate them and even cause tribulations among them. The dajjal will be the greatest enemy of sincere, devout Muslims, Christians and Jews.
