The Dangers of the Dajjal and How to Save Themselves from Him!

Al-Hamdulillah, all praise belongs to Allah, Rabb of the universe. Prayers and greetings upon Rasulillah –allahu 'Alaihi Wasallam-, family and friends.

Fitnah of the Antichrist includes the end-time great slander. In fact, it is the greatest slander since God created Adam. How not, he has miraculous abilities - some of which are specific to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. He can control the rain, regulate the earth to grow plants, bring paradise which is essentially hell and vice versa, and master the abundant wealth of the earth. Because of the extreme danger, the Prophet sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam had warned his people of the slander.

Narrated in Shahihain, from Ibn Umar, he said: The Prophet sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam once stood before humans by praising Allah who has the right to praise. then he mentioned the Dajjal, he said:

إني أنذركموه وما من نبي إلا قد أنذره قومه لقد أنذره نوح قومه ولكن سأقول لكم فيه قولا لم يقله نبي لقومه تعلمون أنه أعور وأن الله ليس بأعور

"I warn you against it. There is no prophet except to warn his people about the Dajjal. Noah warned his people about the Dajjal. But I will convey to you something that was never conveyed by a Prophet (before me) to his people: Surely the Dajjal is blind in one eye, and indeed Allah is not blind in one eye. "(Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

The Prophet sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam told about the nature of the Antichrist, its pattern of work, and how to save itself from it. To the extent that he gave an example and ordered to take refuge from the bad fitnah of the Antichrist at the end of the prayer.

From Abu Hurairah Radhiyallahu 'Anhu, the Prophet sallallaahu' Alaihi Wasallam said, "If one of you finishes reading the tasyahhud, he should take refuge in Allah from four cases. He read:

اللهم إني أعوذ بك من عذاب جهنم, ومن عذاب القبر, ومن فتنة المحيا والممات, ومن شر فتنة المسيح الدجال

"O Allah, indeed I take refuge in You from adzab Jahannam, from adzab tomb, from slander of life and death, and from the ugliness of the slander of the Dajjal." (Muttafaq 'alaih)

Therefore, the Dajjal's talks must continue to be actualized. Is repeated. The hadiths about them are discussed and read. Especially in our day, the slander of religion is rampant, there are many deviations, the truth is hostile, while the heresy is defended. Today the sunnah is considered bid'ah, while bid'ah is used as a rule that must be followed. [Read: Lawami 'Al-Anwar al-Bahiyyah, Al-Imam al-Safarini: 2 / 106-107]

The Prophet sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam reported that the Antichrist was a type of human, the child descended Adam. A number of hadiths preach about their characteristics and characteristics so that when the Antichrist emerges, believers recognize them and do not become followers.

It was reported that the Dajjal was a man of red skin, big, fat, curly hair (krebo), his right eye was blind like ripe wine (not shining), his left eye was covered with thick flesh, written in his jade the word pagan could be read every Muslims who are literate or illiterate.

The Prophet sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam also reported that the Dajjal was barren so he had no offspring. He will emerge from the eastern country, Khurosan, which will be followed by 70 thousand Asfahan Jews who are armed and wearing un-sewn robes.

First appeared, the Dajjal as a dictator and cruel king. After that he claimed to be a Prophet. After that, claim to be God. His followers from juhhal (ignorant people) and lay people (common people). Whereas righteous and pious servants oppose it.

The slander of the Antichrist is the greatest slander of all ages. His slander is very deceptive, charming and mesmerizing. He came with heaven and hell; where paradise is hell and hell is heaven. He also came with a river full of water and a mountain of bread, ordered the heavens to bring down rain and rain fell, ordering the earth to grow plants and to grow plants, and to follow the wealth of the earth.

The Dajjal explores the earth and enters every country with extraordinary speed and in a short time. There is no one country except in its arrival except for two holy cities, Mecca and Medina. And many more wonders and other extraordinary abilities. All of that is a test and a trial from God for mankind, so that those who doubt and congratulate those who believe.


. . . Therefore, the Dajjal's talks must continue to be actualized. Is repeated. The hadiths about them are discussed and read. Especially in our day, the slander of religion is rampant, there are many deviations, the truth is hostile, while the heresy is defended. . .

How to Take Refuge from the Dajjal

The enormity of the riots and fitnah of the Antichrist above makes every believer worried about him, so he seeks a way to survive the slander. Moreover, end-time people like us. Where the emergence of the Dajjal is getting closer to the spread of slanderous kufr, kesyirikan, and fitnah dien that afflict the Muslims.

Besides conveying the danger of fitnah of the Dajjal, the characteristics and forms of slander, the Prophet sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam also gave recipes to survive the fitnah of the Dajjal. Here are some ways that we can go to survive the fitnah of the Antichrist.

First, stick to the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Among them understand the names of the Most Beautiful God and His Highest qualities that no one can match. Because the Antichrist is of a human kind, he eats and drinks. Whereas God is holy from that. The Dajjal is also blind in one eye, while Allah is not blind in one eye. No one can see God in the world, while the Dajjal - when he comes out - can be seen by both believers and unbelievers.

Second, take refuge from the fitnah of the Antichrist, especially during prayer. Imam Muslim has issued in his Saheeh, from the hadith of Abu Hurairah, that the Prophet sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam said, "If one of you finishes reading the tasyahhud, he should take refuge in Allah from four cases. He read:

اللهم إني أعوذ بك من عذاب جهنم, ومن عذاب القبر, ومن فتنة المحيا والممات, ومن شر فتنة المسيح الدجال

"O Allah, indeed I take refuge in You from adzab Jahannam, from adzab tomb, from slander of life and death, and from the ugliness of the slander of the Dajjal." (Muttafaq 'alaih)

Third, understand the hadiths that explain the characteristics of the Antichrist, the time and place of their release, their slander, their deception, and their safe means. Some books have also extensively explored them, such as Al-Nihayah belonging to Ibn Kathir, Ithaf al-Jama'ah belonging to Syaikh al-Tuwaijiri, or Asyrath al-Sa-ah belonging to Shaykh al-Wabil, and others.

Fourth, memorize a number of verses from Al-Kahf. The Prophet sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam al-Kahf was the savior of the Dajjal. Some of the history of some of the closing verses. It is reported by Muslim Imam in his Saheeh, from the hadith of Abu Darda ': The Prophet sallallaahu' Alaihi Wasallam said, "Who memorizes 10 verses from the initial letter of Al-Kahf, then he will be saved from the Dajjal." In another narration, "Ten verses from the end of Al -Kahfi, "(Narrated by Muslim)

Imam Nawawi in Syarah Muslim (2/92-93) said: because all of that is because in the beginning there were some miracles and signs of the greatness of God. So who is the deaf-biddor will not be exposed to the slander of the Antichrist. Likewise in the end. The Word of God Ta'ala:

أَفَحَسِبَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنْ يَتَّخِذُوا عِبَادِي مِنْ دُونِي أَوْلِيَاءَ إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكَافِرِينَ نُزُلًا

"So do the unbelievers think that they (can) take My servants to be helpers besides Me? "We have provided a hell of a place of abode for the unbelievers." (Surat al-Kahf: 102)

Fifth, leave the Dajjal and stay away from him. The main thing is to stay in Makkah and Madinah, because the Prophet sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam reported that the Dajjal would not enter the two holy cities. So when a Muslim finds out the Antichrist has come out, he moves away from him. Because the Antichrist has syubuhat and extraordinary abilities that God allows to occur with both hands as slander for humans. Because at that time there was someone who felt strong faith, when he met the Dajjal, he became a follower of the Dajjal.

Imam Abu Dawud in his Sunnah narrated the hadith from Imran bin Husayn, the Prophet sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam said:

من سمع بالدجال فلينأ عنه, فوالله إن الرجل ليأتيه وهو يحسب أنه مؤمن فيتبعه, مما يبعث به من الشبهات
"Whoever hears there is a Antichrist, let him hide from him. Because, By Allah, someone came to him and he said that he truly believed, then he followed him, because of the many sybuhat (occult) that accompanied him. "(Narrated by Muslim, Ahmad, and Al-Hakim. Syaikh Al-Albani answered him in Shahih Sunan Abi Dawud)

May Allah save us (the Muslims) from the slander of the Dajjal and bring us from him. Wallahu Allam
