According to Islamic eschatology, the Dajjal (Antichrist) will possess several distinguishing features that will help identify him. While believers will not be deceived, many will be led astray by his seemingly miraculous powers.
Key Physical Sign:
- One-Eyed: The most prominent sign is that the Dajjal will be one-eyed, with his right eye described as blind and deformed, resembling a grape. This physical characteristic is a crucial identifier mentioned in various Hadith.
Claimed Abilities and Deceptions:
The Dajjal's deceptive power will lie in his claimed abilities:
- Claiming Divinity: He will falsely claim to be God (Allah), leading many astray with this blasphemous assertion.
- Control over Paradise and Hellfire: He will deceptively claim to possess the keys to Paradise and Hellfire, further reinforcing his false authority.
- Miraculous Powers: He will appear to perform miracles, further convincing many of his divinity. These seeming miracles will be deceptive illusions, designed to sway those lacking strong faith.
It is important to note that while the Dajjal will display remarkable powers, true believers will recognize him for who he is—a deceiver and a false prophet. The focus should be on strengthening one's faith and adhering to the teachings of Islam to avoid falling prey to his deceptions.
