The final manifestation of the False Messiah will be near the end of time and he will be defeated by Jesus s after he returns to earth. Again, we must reiterate that the primary function of eschatology , or the signs of the Hour, is to encourage us to perform good deeds while we can. We should not take our lives, property, and security for granted, because at some point tribulations like the False Messiah will afflict everyone on earth.
Hasten to perform good deeds before seven events: Are you waiting for poverty that makes you forgetful? Or wealth that burdens you? Or a debilitating disease or senility? Or an unexpected death or the False Messiah? Or is it evil in the unseen you are waiting for? Or the Hour itself? The Hour will be bitter and terrible. The purpose of these reports is to encourage initiative in performing good deeds before our end and to make the most of our time before disaster strikes.
It is not for Muslims to attempt to construct a precise timeline of future events, to indulge conspiracy theories, or to speciously connect the specific signs of Hour to current geopolitical events based entirely on their own conjecture. Sorting through all the reports of the False Messiah can be confusing, since many of them may not be authentic or can be interpreted in different ways. Muslims believe what Tamim ra saw was literally physical and still exists today, while others believe it was an ephemeral vision.
We can only say Allah knows best what modality it really was, although we all agree upon the truthfulness of the Prophet s and his companions. That said, even the Prophet s worried that Muslims would be overwhelmed with too much information regarding the False Messiah and the end times, so he simplified his sign for us. The unmistakable sign of the appearance of the False Messiah will be that he has one eye.
Verily, I have told you so much about the False Messiah that I fear you will not understand. Verily, the False Messiah is a short man, pigeon toed, curly haired, with one eye that is sightless, neither protruding nor sunken. If you are confused about him, then know that your Lord does not have one eye. In sum, the island on which Tamim ra saw the False Messiah is unknown to us and will not be definitively discovered, either because it was a spiritual vision specific to Tamim and his companions, or other miraculous means prevent it from being found.
Either way, the story of the imprisoned False Messiah is a concrete image for us to represent the Unseen reality that his tribulation will come to pass in the future, so we should focus on making the most of our time on earth by doing good deeds and strengthening our faith. Skip to content In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful Some Muslims hold the belief that the False Messiah al-Masihah al-Dajjal , who will emerge near the end of time as a great tribulation, is currently imprisoned on an unknown island somewhere in the world.
We said: We are Arabs who have traveled in a seafaring vessel but it happened to be that the sea seized us and the waves shook us for a month, then we sought shore on this island of yours… The man said: Indeed, I will tell you about myself. He sometimes described him to be insignificant and sometimes described his turmoil as very significant rand we felt as if he were in the cluster of the date-palm trees.
When we went to him to the Holy Prophet in the evening and he read the signs of fear in our faces, he said: What is the matter with you? We said : Allah's Messenger, you made a mention of the Dajjal in the morning sometimes describing him to be insignificant and sometimes very important, until we began to think as if he were present in some near part of the cluster of the datpalm trees. Thereupon he said: I harbour fear in regard to you in so many other things besides the Dajjal.
If he comes forth while I am among on, I shall contend with him on your behalf, but if he comes forth while I am not amongst you, a man must contend on his own behalf and Allah would take care of every Muslim on my behalf and safeguard him against his evil.
He Dajjal would be a young man with twisted, contracted hair, and a blind eye. I compare him to 'Abd-ul-'Uzza b. He who amongst you would survive to see him should recite over him the opening verses of Sura Kahf xviii.
He would appear on the way between Syria and Iraq and would spread mischief right and left. O servant of Allah! We said: Allah's Messenger, how long would he stay on the earth? He said.. For forty days, one day like a year and one day like a month and one day like a week and the rest of the days would be like your days.
We said: Allah's Messenger, would one day's prayer suffice for the prayers of day equal to one year? Thereupon he said: No, but you must make an estimate of time and then observe prayer. We said: Allah's Messenger, how quickly would he walk upon the earth? Thereupon he said: Like cloud driven by the wind. He would come to the people and invite them to a wrong religion and they would affirm their faith in him and respond to him. He would then give command to the sky and there would be rainfall upon the earth and it would grow crops.
Then in the evening, their posturing animals would come to them with their humps very high and their udders full of milk and their flanks stretched. He would then come to another people and invite them. But they would reject him and he would go away from them and there would be drought for them and nothing would be lef t with them in the form of wealth. He would then walk through the waste, land and say to it: Bring forth your treasures, and the treasures would come out and collect themselves before him like the swarm of bees.
He would then call a person brimming with youth and strike him with the sword and cut him into two pieces and make these pieces lie at a distance which is generally between the archer and his target. He would then call that young man and he will come forward laughing with his face gleaming with happiness and it would at this very time that Allah would send Christ, son of Mary, and he will descend at the white minaret in the eastern side of Damscus wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two Angels.
When he would lower his head, there would fall beads of perspiration from his head, and when he would raise it up, beads like pearls would scatter from it.
Every non-believer who would smell the odour of his self would die and his breath would reach as far as he would be able to see. He would then search for him Dajjal until he would catch hold of him at the gate of Ludd and would kill him. Then a people whom Allah had protected would come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he would wipe their faces and would inform them of their ranks in Paradise and it would be under such conditions that Allah would reveal to Jesus these words: I have brought forth from amongst My servants such people against whom none would be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur, and then Allah would send Gog and Magog and they would swarm down from every slope.
The first of them would pass the lake of Tibering and drink out of it. And when the last of them would pass, he would say: There was once water there. Jesus and his companions would then be besieged here at Tur, and they would be so much hard pressed that the head of the ox would be dearer to them than one hundred dinirs and Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would supplicate Allah, Who would send to them insects which would attack their necks and in the morning they would perish like one single person.
Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then come down to the earth and they would not find in the earth as much space as a single span which is not filled with their putrefaction and stench. Allah's Apostle, Jesus, and his companions would then again beseech Allah, Who would send birds whose necks would be like those of bactrin camels and they would carry them and throw them where God would will.
Then Allah would send rain which no house of clay or the tent of camels' hairs would keep out and it would wash away the earth until it could appear to be a mirror. Then the earth would be told to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing and, as a result thereof, there would grow such a big pomegranate that a group of persons would be able to eat that, and seek shelter under its skin and milch cow would give so much milk that a whole party would be able to drink it.
And the milch camel would give such a large quantity of milk that the whole tribe would be able to drink out of that and the milch sheep would give so much milk that the whole family would be able to drink out of that and at that time Allah would send a pleasant wind which would soothe people even under their armpits, and would take the life of every Muslim and only the wicked would survive who would commit adultery like asses and the Last Hour would come to them.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Jabir with the same chain of transmitters but with this addition that Gog and Magog would walk until they would reach the mountain of al-Khamar and it is a mountain of Bait-ul-Maqdis and they would say: We have killed those who are upon the earth. Let us now kill those who are In the sky and they would throw their arrows towards the sky and the arrows would return to them besmeared with blood.
And in the narration of Ibn Hujr the words are : "I have sent such persons Gog and Magog that none would dare fight against them. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him one day gave a detailed account of the Dajjal and in that it was also included: He would come but would not be allowed to ether the mountain passes to Medina. So he will alight at some of the barren tracts near Medina, and a person who would be the best of men or one from amongst the best of men would say to him: I bear testimony to the fact that you are Dajjal about whom Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him had informed us.
The Dajjal would say: What is your opinion if I kill this person , then I bring him back to life; even then will you harbour doubt in this matter? They would say: No. He would then kill the man and then bring him back to life. When he would bring tha person to life, he would say: By Allah, I had no better proof of the fact that you are a Dajjal than at the present time that you are actually so. The Dajjal would then make an attempt to kill him again but he would not be able to do that.
Abu Ishaq reported that it was said: That person would be Khadir Allah be pleased with him. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him as saying: The Dajjal would come forth and a person from amongst the believers would go towards him and the armed men of the Dajjal would meet him and they would say to him: Where do you intend to go? He would say: I intend to go to this one who is coming forth.
They would say to him: Don't you believe in our Lord? He would say: There is nothing hidden about our Lord. They would say: Kill him. Then some amongst them would say: Has your master Dajjal not forbidden you to kill anyone without his consent?
And so they would take him to the Dajjal and when the believer would see him, he would say: O people. The Dajjal would then order for breaking his head and utter these words : Catch hold of him and break his head. He would be struck even on his back and on his stomach.
Then the Dajjal would ask him: Don't you believe in me? He would say: You are a false Masih. He would then order him to be torn into pieces with a saw from the parting of his hair up to his legs. After that the Dajjal would walk between the two pieces. He would then say to him: Stand, and he would stand erect. He would then say to him: Don't you believe in me? And the person would say: It has only added to my insight concerning you that you are really the Dajjal.
He would then say: O people, he would not behave with anyone amongst people in such a manner after me. The Dajjal would try to catch hold of him so that he should kill him again. The space between his neck and collar bone would be turned into copper and he would find no means to kill him.
So he would catch hold of him by his hand and feet and throw him into the air and the people would think as if he had been thrown in the Hell-Fire whereas he would be thrown in Paradise. Thereupon Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him said: He would be the most eminent amongst persons in regard to martyrdom in the eye of the Lord of the world. Mughira b. Shu'ba reported: No one asked Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him more about Dajjil than I asked him.
He said: He should not be a source of worry to you for he would not be able to do any harm to you. I said: Allah's Messenger, it is alleged that he would have along with him abundance of food and water. Thereupon he said: He would be very insignificant in the eye of Allah even with all this. Shu'ba reported that none asked Allah's Apostle may peace be upon him about Dajjal more than I asked him.
I one of the narrators other than Mughlra b. Shu'ba said: What'did you ask? Mughira replied: I said that the people alleged that he would have a mountain load of bread and mutton and rivers of water. Thereupon he said: He would be more insignificant in the eye of Allah compared with all this.
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Isma'il through other chains of transmitters with a slight variation of wording. Thereupon he said: Hallowed be Allah, there is no god but Allah or the words to the same effect. I have decided that I would not narrate anything to anyone now. I had only said that you would see after some time an important event that the sacred House Ka'ba would be burnt and it would happen and definitely happen. He then reported that Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him said: The Dajjal would appear in my Ummah and he would stay in the world for forty-I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years.
He Jesus Christ would chase him and kill him. Then people would live for seven years that there would be no ran. Then Allah would send cold wind from the side of Syria that none would survive upon the earth having a speck of good in him or faith in him but he would die, so much so that even if some amongst you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and that would cause his heath. I heard Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him as saying: Only the wicked people would survive and they would be as careless as birds with the charactertistics of beasts.
They would never appreciate the good nor condemn evil. Then the Satan would come to them in human form and would say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you order us? And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend hfs neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels.
He would swoon and the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and they would stand up and begin to look around. Then it would be said: O people, go to your Lord, and make them stand there.
And they would be questioned. Then it would be said: Bring out a group out of them for the Hell-Fire. And then it would be asked: How much? It would be said: Nine hundred and ninty-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and that would be the day which would make the children old because of its terror and that would be the day about which it has been said: "On the day when the shank would be uncovered" lxviii.
Ya'qub b. Urwa b. Mas'ud reported: I heard a person saying to 'Abdullah b. Amr: You say that the Last Hour would come at such and such time, whereupon he said: I had made up my mind that I would not narrate anything to you. I only said: But you would soon see after some time a very significant affair, for example the burning of the House Ka'ba. Shu'ba said like this and 'Abdullah b Amr reported Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him having said: The Dajjal would appear in my Ummah.
And in another hadith the words are : None would survive who would have even a speck of faith in his heart, but he would be dead. Muhammad b. Abu Zur'a reported that three persons amongst Muslims had been sitting in Medina in the presence of Marwan b. Hakam and they heard him narrate these signs from him and the first amongst them was the appearance of the Dajjal.
I, however, heard a hadith from Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him and I did not forget that after I had heard that from Allah's Apostle may peace be upon him and he reported a hadith like the foregoing. Abu Zur'a reported that there was a discussion in the presence of Marwan about the Last Hour, and Abdullah b. The rest of the hadith is the same, but there is no mention of forenoon. Qais and she was the first amongst the emigrant women: Narrate to me a hadith which you had heard directly from Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him and there is no extra link in between them.
She said: Very well, if you like, I am prepared to do that, and he said to her: Well, do It and narrate that to me. She said: I married the son of Mughira and he was a chosen young man of Quraish at that time, but he fell as a martyr in the first Jihad fighting on the side of Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him.
When I became a widow, 'Abd al-Rahman b. Auf, one amongst the group of the Companions of Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him , sent me the proposal of marriage. Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him also sent me such a message for his freed slave Usama b. And it had been conveyed to me that Allah's Messenger way peace be upon him had said about Usama : He who loves me should also love Usima.
When Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him talked to me about this matter , I said: My affairs are in your hand. You may marry me to anyone whom you like. She spent generously for the cause of Allah and entertained guests very hospitably.
I said: Well, I will do as you like. He said: Do not do that for Umm Sharik is a woman who is very frequently vizited by guests and I do not like that your head may be uncovered or the cloth may be removed from your shank and the strangers may catch sight of them which you abhor. You better shift to the house of your cousin 'Abdullah b. Umm Maktum and he is a person of the Bani Fihr branch of the Quraish, and he belonged to that tribe to which F5tiina belonged.
So I shifted to that house, and when my period of waiting was over, I heard the voice of an announcer making an announcement that the prayer would be observed in the mosque where congregational prayer is observed.
So I set out towards that mosque and observed prayer along with Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him and I was in the row of the women which was near the row of men. When Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him had finished his prayer, he sat on the pulpit smiling and said: Every worshipper should keep sitting at his place. He then said: Do you know why I had asked you to assemble? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best.
He said: By Allah. I have not made you assemble for exhortation or for a warning, but I have detained you here, for Tamim Dari, a Christian, who came and accepted Islam, told me something, which agrees with what I was-telling, yuu about the Dajjal. He narrated to me that he had sailed in a ship along with thirty men of Bani Lakhm and Bani Judham and had been tossed by waves in the ocean for a month.
Then these waves took them near the land within the ocean island at the time of sunset. They sat in a small side-boat and entered that Island. There was a beast with long thick hair and because of these they could not distinguish his face from his back. They said: Woe to you, who can you be? Thereupon it said: I am al-Jassasa.
They said: What is al-Jassasa? And it said: O people, go to this person in the monastery as he is very much eager to know about you. He the narrator said: When it named a person for us we were afraid of it lest it should be a Devil. Then we hurriedly went on till we came to that monastery and found a well-built person there with his hands tied to his neck and having iron shackles between his two legs up to the ankles. We said: Woe be upon thee, who are you?
And he said: You would soon come to know about me. We said: We are people from Arabia and we embarked upon a boat but the sea-waves had been driving us for one month and they brought as near this island. We got Into the side-boats and entered this island and here a beast met us with profusely thick hair and because of the thickness of his hair his face could not be distinguished from his back.
We said: Woe be to thee, who are you? It said: I am al- Jassasa. We said: What is al-Jassasa? And it said: You go to this very person in the monastery for he is eagerly waiting for you to know about you. So we came to you in hot haste fearing that that might be the Devil.
He that chained person said: Tell me about the date-palm trees of Baisan. He said: I ask you whether these trees bear fruit or not. We said: Yes Thereupon he said: I think these would not bear fruits.
He said: Inform me about the lake of Tabariyya? We said: Which aspect of it do you want to know? He said: Is there water in it? They said: There is abundance of water in it. Thereupon he said: I think it would soon become dry. He again said: Inform me about the spring of Zughar.
They said: Which aspect of it you want to know? He the chained person said: Is there water in it and does it irrigate the land? We said to him: Yes, there is abundance of water in it and the inhabitants of Medina irrigate land with the help of it, He said: Inform me about the unlettered Prophet; what has he done? He said: Do the Arabs fight against him? We said: Yes. He said: How did he deal with him?
We informed him that he had overcome those in his neighbourhood and they had submitted themselves before him. Thereupon he said to us: Had it actually happened? Thereupon he said: If it is so that is better for them that they should show obedience to him. I am going to tell you about. An angel with a sword in his hand would confront me and would bar my way and there would be angels to guard every passage leading to it; then Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him striking the pulpit with the help of the end of his staff said : This implies Taiba meaning Medina.
Have I not, told you an account of the Dajjal like this? Nay, on the contrary, he As In the east, he is in the east, he is in the east, and he pointed with his hand towards the east. Al-Sha'bi reported: We visited Fatima b. Qais and she served us fresh dates which are called rutab and she also served us barley.
I asked her about that woman in whose case three divorces had been pronounced as to how much time she should count as the waiting period. She said: My husband pronounced three divorces in my case and Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him permitted me to spend any waiting period in my family. It was during this period that announcement was made for the people to observe prayer in the bigger Mosque. I went there along with people and I was in the front row meant for women and it was adjacent to the last row of men and I heard Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him deliver sermon sitting on the pulpit.
He said: The cousin of Tamim Dari sailed in the ocean. The rest of the hadith is the same but with this addition: " I see as if I am looking to Allah's Apostle may peace be upon him pointing his rod towards the land and saying : It is Taiba, i.
Tamim Dari came to Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him and informed Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him that he sailed in an ocean and his ship lost direction and thus landed at an island.
They moved about in that land in search of water. There they saw a person who had been pulling his hair. And he Dajjal said: If I were to be permitted to set out I would have covered all the lands except Taiba. Then Allah's Messerger may peace be upon him brought Tamim Dari before the public and he narrated to them and said: That is Taiba and that is the Dajjal.
Fatima b. Qais reported that Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him sat on the pulpit and said: O people, Tamim Dari has reported to me that some persons of his tribe sailed in the ocean in a boat and it capsised and then some of them travelled on one of the planks of the boat and they went to an island in the ocean.
Malik reported that Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him said: There will be no land which would not be covered by the Dajjal but Mecca and Medina, and there would no passage out of the passages leading to them which would not be guarded by angels arranged in rows. Then he the Dajjal would appear in a barren place adjacent to Medina and it would rock three times that every unbeliever and hypocrite would get out of it towards him.
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Anas that Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him said this but with this addition that the Dajjal would come and pitch his tent in the waste-land of Juruf and thus there would come out of the city every hypocrite, man and woman.
Malik reported that Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him said: The Dajjal would be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls. Umm Sharik reported: I heard Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him as saying: The people would run away from the Dajjal seeking shelter in the mountains.
She said: Where would be the Arabs then in that day? He said: They would be small in number. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Juraij with the same chain of transmitters. Abu Qatada reported: We used to go to Imran b. Husain passing in front of Hisham b. He, one day, said: You pass by me in order to go to some per- sons but amongst ttie living persons none remained in the company of Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him more than I and none knows more ahadith than I.
I heard Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him as saying: There would be no creation creating more trouble than the Dajjal right from the creation of Adam to the Last Hour.
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of 'Imran b. Husain with a slight variation of wording. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him having said: Hasten to do good deeds before six things happen: the rising of the sun from the west, the smoke, the Dajjal, the beast and the death of one of you or the general turmoil.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him as saying: Hasten in performing these good deeds before these six things happen : the appearance of tribe Dijjal, the smoke, the beast of the earth, the rising of the sun from the west, the general turmoil leadina to large-scale massacre and death of masses and individuals. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Qatada through another chain of transmitters. Ma'qil b. Netflix tweeted the trailer with the question: "Who do you think he is?
Dehbi's character isn't named in the trailer, but he is named on Netflix's website as Al-Masih - Arabic for "the messiah". It is the name used for Jesus Christ in Islam, but is also the name with which Dajjal is said to announce himself. In Islamic theology, Dajjal is said to be blind in one eye. The posts had tens of thousands of likes and retweets. Later, the same Twitter user posted screenshots appearing to show they had been blocked by both the Netflix and Messiah accounts.
Netflix has denied this, saying: "There's no truth to this story we have not blocked fans. One person wrote that "Muslims figured out the twist ending of the Netflix 'Messiah' show because they literally named the character Dajjal", but Netflix's official Twitter account responded : "That's not actually the character's name.
She added: "I get why, to an English speaker with no background in Islam or Arabic the connection between Masih and Messiah is sufficiently subtle. So perhaps to them it sounded like Bob. Yet they didn't anticipate that everything is local on the internet. Another Twitter user said it was as obvious as "watching an Arabic murder mystery and there's a character named Murder McMurderson".
