History of Dajjal-Antichrist
DAJJAL VS. MAHDI & ISA (AS) - THE GREAT BATTLE
For every Muslim, the first and foremost believe in Islam is that there is no God but Allah Almighty and Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was his final messenger. After him, nobody else would come to guide the world towards the right path, his demise meant the end of Prophet-hood.

Hints suggest that Dajjal would come out in the open before Akhirat, which means the Day of Judgement. Even his name, in Arabic, means deception. Dajjal’s motive in the world would be to take as many people away from Allah’s correct path as he can. The deceiver’s arrival is also stated in Christianity, Jewism and is a vital part of Islam.
Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) called Dajjal Al-Awar, “one with blind one eye” — in detail, he said that Dajjal’s right eye would be like a floating grape, shaking, not fixed in one position. Dajjal’s left eye would also be defective and green in color. The Prophet said that Dajjal’s complexion would be “Reddy-White” — like people from England, North, Scotland or elsewhere.
The Prophet further said that Dajjal would have a prominent forehead and a wide neck. Short in height, but he would be very powerful, even with a hunch in his back. He would walk with his feet apart, not like normal men. Dajjal would have long and curly hair, so thick that his locks would look like snakes hanging from his head, lots of them, coiled together.
Dajjal would be sterile, he would not have any children. The Holy Prophet’s description of Dajjal clearly states that Dajjal would be a man, not a woman, not a theory, not a nation, or any other sort of propaganda. He would be a man and he would be alive.
Lastly, another hint the Prophet gave us about Dajjal is that he would have the word ‘Kafir’ written between his eyebrows on his forehead. The believers of Allah and Islam would clearly be able to see that word, even if others cannot.
Let us pray, that Allah Almighty guides us correctly and gives us enough Emaan to denounce Dajjal and not cross paths with him. Let us pray that Allah always keeps us close to Islam and away from all monstrosities, including Dajjal.
In anyone’s book, Dajjal is the embodiment of evil. A wise man once said, ‘Know your enemies and keep them close to you. By knowing them, you know your weakness, thus neutralising their potency.’ There are many Hadith which describe Dajjal’s appearance, his height and his powers.
Ubadah ibn Saamit radiyallahu anhu narrates that the Last Prophet peace & blessings be upon him (peace & blessings be upon him) said, ‘I have explained Dajjal to you, but I fear that you might not have understood. Maseeh-ud-Dajjal will be short and his legs will be crooked. The hair on his head will be extremely twisted. He will have one eye, while his other eye will be flat. It will be neither deep, nor protruding.’
Ibn Umar radiyallahu anhuma narrates from the Last Prophet peace & blessings be upon him (peace & blessings be upon him) regarding Dajjal, ‘…red complexioned, fat, curly haired man, blind in the right eye which looks like a bulging grape.’
