What Does Dajjal (Antichrist) Refer to?
In Islam, the concept of Dajjal is one that is predominantly associated with the latter days. It is generally associated with evil forces, however, many Muslims might not even know what exactly the term Dajjal refers to. Once, someone asked His Holiness (aba) about what Dajjal means.
His Holiness (aba) replied:
‘Everything that deceives you or defrauds you and tries to convince you of something through deception can be considered Dajjal. Satan also manifests in the form of Dajjal, and various nations are the powers of Dajjal. They show a great deal of sympathy for Muslims; America supports Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia compliments America, and all the Muslim countries have moved to one side. One writer says that Sunni Muslims have become very modern, whereas the Shias are backwards; many Sunni Muslim countries support Saudi Arabia. These countries and Saudi Arabia all want to improve their relationship with Israel. Certainly, there should be good relations, there should not be any conflict. However, it should not be the way they are trying to achieve this – by abandoning the faith and living as they desire. Likewise, the deception of the Dajjal manifested during the time of the Promised Messiah (as) by presenting Jesus (as) as the son of God, and thus spreading Christianity throughout the world. Similarly, there are other big powers that use lies and deception against Muslims, and those are considered Dajjal. It includes both nations and people.’[1]
