The Alarm of Doomsday

THE APPEARANCE OF DAJJAL Muslim nations equipped with modern knowledge and technology had conquered Muslims in every field. In particular, Muslims lagged behind nonMuslims in educational, economic and political fields. This backwardness on the part of Muslims was due to their shortcomings, but dajjal, using the modern media, told Muslims that it was solely the plots and oppression of other nations that were responsible for their plight. As a result of this dajjali (deception), Muslims worldwide became involved in hate and violence campaigns against non-Muslim nations. They failed to make positive use of modern opportunities, either for dawah or for God-realisation. Dajjali deception was the reason for this mentality of hatred and the propensity to complain. These non-Muslim nations were our Madu (congregation), and hating the Madu is not lawful in Islam, but Dajjal made this act appear attractive and induced Muslims to think that it was precisely in accordance with Islam. The Period of the Appearance of Dajjal There are several traditions about dajjal in the books of hadith. These traditions describe certain strange qualities of Dajjal, which people take in the literal sense.
