Re: Dajjal: System or Person?
Obvious? Are you basically saying that the physical description is so obvious that it should therefore be easy for Muslims to not only recognize Dajjal but to protect themselves from him? First let’s talk about obviousness. The one-eyed sign on the dollar, in various brand logos, and look at how often celebs including world leaders flash the one-eyed sign in the media. Look at how obvious and in-your-face and all-ova-the-place that is, but it’s still not enough to rouse people from their sleeping, numbed-by-materialism states. PCG, the sadly comical irony is that despite bearing such blatant physicals marks upon his person, the Dajjal will be hard for even the Muslims to both escape and resist. If you read up on him, you will find that he will perform miracles that will deceive the masses. People who are dying from hunger and thirst will be overwhelmed by his ability to produce rain from the skies. When people are in such a desperate state of survival, it becomes easier for them both mentally and emotionally to succumb to these bargains or bribes. One will need very strong imam to resist the Dajjal. It is even said that the Dajjal will get the jinns to impersonate the voices of our deceased loved ones such as our parents and children to make us surrender to him. And look at how many Muslims today both dismiss and scoff the existence of both jinns and magic and magicians despite their mention in the Quran? Dajjals corrupt system entails the use of jinns and magic among other things. The thing is, PCG, you are only focusing on the obvious physical markers of Dajjal believing them to be sufficient for Muslims to be on their guard and firm on their iman. That is not so. If you read the other descriptions regarding Dajjal’s methodology, you’ll see that it’s harder to escape him.
