Assalamualykum.
I was wondering, if dajjal is so important than why Allah didn't say anything about him directly or indirectly in the Quran? Please help me with this.
As'salamu Alaikum dear brother Farhan,
Great question, dear brother. Like brother Mohammed said, there are things that aren't mentioned in the Holy Quran, but are part of the bigger and more encompassing thing. Example that the brother gave, from several, is Adhan (the call for Prayer). It's not mentioned in the Holy Quran, but it is yet mandatory for all Prayers in Islam.
The issues of Mahdi and anti-Christ are like Adhan to Prayer akhi. They fall under the return of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him. And Prophet Isa (Jesus) is mentioned to return in the Holy Quran. He is now in a state of WAFAAT. This is the same state that you go in when you sleep. You would then either wake up to a return back to full life, or go to a state of MAWT (death). Prophet Isa went through a State of Wafaat when he was raised up to Allah Almighty. But Allah Almighty also mentioned in the Holy Quran that everyone from humans must taste an earthly death. And there are Noble Verses that also speak about Prophet Jesus will return and then all of the people of the Book will believe in him the Islamic way.
I will give all of the Noble Verses later, Insha'Allah. This is just a quick response. So yes, the Mahdi and anti-Christ fall under Prophet Isa in general, akhi. But as always,
Allah Almighty could decide to end life at anytime. So, the return of Christ in the way it's described to us may not necessarily happen if Allah Almighty Chooses otherwise. To me, this is the difference between having a clear cut Promise in the Holy Quran from outside the Holy Quran. Unless Allah Almighty specifically mentions it in the Holy Quran as a Divine Promise, then there is always a possibility for it to not happen. This is where I stand on the Hadiths when compared to the Holy Quran. So it's possible that the Mahdi will not come. I personally believe that the Mahdi will come, from the Hadiths. But it's always possible that he may not come, because he isn't mentioned in the Holy Quran.
And by the way, we are living in an anti-Christ system today.
And his symbol is the ONE-EYE. So the Hadiths' End of Times Prophecies are coming True, by Allah Almighty's Will. Here are some of the powers of the anti-christ that Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, mentioned:
1- His evil will enter every house. We see this clearly through the evil media and lewdness and sexuality and pornography from the internet and TV.
2- He will rule the world.
3- He is ONE-EYED.
4- Among the powers that he will have:
(a)- He will command the sky to rain and it will rain. Read up on
Cloud Fertilization technology today.
(b)- He will command the earth to quake and it will quake. Read up on
HAARP technology and Weather Modification for Weapons today.
(c)- He will corrupt the lands and seas of the earth.
(d)- He will cause for so much deaths throughout earth, so much that a person would not know what the reason of his death.
Deaths will be done by the wholesale on earth.
5- Also the evil Zionists from the Jews will be supreme on earth, and they will reach
"Mighty Heights" علوا كبيرا of evil power and might on earth. See
Noble Verses 17:4-8. Many Muslims today believe that we are in the "second" era of the Israelites' evil. They are reaching Mighty Heights of evil on earth, today. And we are seeing those rotten filth on their way to ruling the entire earth and dominating all of its financial institutions, wealth and armies, and they're close to establishing their
New World Order - One World Government - System.
This is further supported in this Holy Quran Divine Promise from Allah Almighty:
[017:104] Later, to the children of Israel We said, “Inhabit the earth till the promise of the afterlife is fulfilled. Then, We will bring you out as a crowd (لفيفا).” 17:104 وقلنا من بعده لبني اسرائيل اسكنوا الارض فاذا جاء وعد الاخرة جئنا بكم لفيفا
The Jews did inhabit the earth and they are now coming to Palestine from all over the earth in large crowds. This is the Time of the Second Punishment Prophecy, from the Holy Quran. But they must first finish their reaching of the
"Mighty Heights" علوا كبيرا of evil on earth.
Look at 9/11 today. It was 100% an Israeli Mossad operation [1].
And by the way,
"....We sent against you Our servants (عبادا لنا) given to terrible warfare...." in
Noble Verse 17:5, above, is not just limited to the Muslims.
عبادا لنا in the Holy Quran does also include non-Muslims whom Allah Almighty chose or made to do something. So the destruction of Israel won't necessarily be done by the Muslims only. I believe that many nations from earth will rise against them and annihilate them. To further prove that
عباد is not just limited to the Muslims, consider the following Noble Verses that use the Noble Word
عباد:
[036:030] What a pity! These human kinds (العباد)! Their only response to the messengers _ whenever they came to them _ was to mock and make fun of them! 36:30 ياحسرة على العباد ماياتيهم من رسول الا كانوا به يستهزؤون
[050:011] A sustenance for the servants (للعباد), and We give life thereby to a dead land; thus is the rising.50:11 رزقا للعباد واحيينا به بلدة ميتا كذلك الخروج
[017:017] How many generations have We destroyed after Noah? and enough is thy Lord to note and see the sins of His servants (عباده).17:17 وكم اهلكنا من القرون من بعد نوح وكفى بربك بذنوب عباده خبيرا بصيرا
[002:207] Among people are also those, who would willingly sell themselves out of the desire to please Allah. And of course, Allah is full of compassion for (His) servants (بالعباد). 2:207 ومن الناس من يشري نفسه ابتغاء مرضاة الله والله رؤوف بالعباد
[006:088] Such is the guidance of Allah. He guides whom He wants among His servants (عباده). Had they, (any of the messengers mentioned above) set up partners (with Allah), all their deeds would have come to nothing. 6:88 ذلك هدى الله يهدي به من يشاء من عباده ولو اشركوا لحبط عنهم ما كانوا يعملون
6- Also, mankind will
"alter the creation of Allah Almighty" through
"cutting the farm animals' ears". We've already seen this in
what we call today Cloning. And it'll only get worse, and soon man will start cloning mankind.
All of these are Prophecies from the Hadiths and the Glorious Quran. I will write a big article on this soon, Insha'Allah. Please also visit:
www.answering-christianity.com/convert_christians.htm.
So, I am not sure how the Mahdi and Christ will come. Since we already know that the anti-Christ system (not a man) is already in place, and is only getting worse and worse, then will Christ and the Mahdi come in form of men or in forms of Systems,
perhaps Spiritual Systems. Only Allah Almighty Knows. You see, it was a popular belief among Muslims that the anti-Christ will be a flesh and blood man. But this flesh and blood man couldn't command the earth to quake and for the sky to rain at his will, nor could he make his evil enter every home. It is rather the evil Zionist machine system that we live in that is doing that. Again, they will reach
"Mighty Heights" علوا كبيرا of evil power and might on earth. This is straight out of the Holy Quran!
So how will the forces of Good be like? Will they be flesh and blood? Or will they be Good Systems that will emerge like the evil system that has emerged and has and is reaching
"Mighty Heights" علوا كبيرا of evil power and might on earth? Only Allah Almighty Knows.
I hope this helps, Insha'Allah.
Take care,
Osama Abdallah
