Dajjalic Machinations: Why Explain?
I spent a lot of time explaining some of the intricate details and you must be asking as to why? My reasons are as follows:
- When Dajjal displays these supernatural feats there will be many who will be shocked, awestruck and astounded and their Eemaan may be affected. It was my attention (in my little capacity) to show you that there are explanations as to how Dajjal “may†do perform his “miraclesâ€. Even without having a full scientific picture and without understanding it in depth, we can see that many of these are possible. My hope is that the Ummat may be physically and materially overwhelmed but not ideologically and mentally! Sayyiduna Ibraheem (AS) asked Allah Ta’ala the question as to how Allah Ta’ala gives life, this is our evidence that we DO NEED to delve into HOW to satisfy the mental curiosities of the people!
- Secondly, the scientific and technological prowess which Dajjal will display will be INFINTELY SUPERIOR to anything we possess! Some (modernists) claim that Muslims should concentrate on science and technology (and we should) but NO MATTER how hard you try you will NOT be able to match Dajjal! You cannot counter his overwhelming superiority. The answer is not in Dunya but Deen, we need to seek protection in the Greatness, Sovereignty and Powers of Allah Ta’ala. The idea that Mahdi (AS) will be some sort of hidden scientist is baseless and ignorant. Mahdi (AS) will fight Dajjal because Allah Ta’ala will give him up the ability and not because of Dunya (abilities). It also doesn't mean that we give up, either!
- Thirdly, there are those who sun modern sciences and technology intuitively and instinctively believing it to be evil and they are far from Islam. In the battle of Khandaq, Sayyiduna Rasul-ullah (Sallallaho Alahihe Wassallam) sought advice and Salman (RA) gave advice to dig a trench and this was an example of adopting methods/tactics/technology which was alien to Arabs. There are million and one examples in the history of Islam where Muslims have invented, borrowed, used and enhanced technology in all spheres of life and not just battlefield and warfare. Those who are ignorant of our history do us sever injustice!

Our trust and reliance MUST BE with Allah Ta’ala. We must resort to Allah Ta’ala. We must turn to Allah Ta’ala in earnest, sincerely and devotion. Our powers are not science and technology but our power is Eemaan and YET we are not medieval Christians or Donald Trump supporters who turn away from science. Those who don’t understand what I am talking about, read the history of Medieval Christianity and why Christians are becoming Atheists. We are Muslims and we believe in Islam and Allah has given us this Deen.
We are the Ummah of Sayyiduna Rasul-ullah (Sallallaho Alahihe Wassallam) and we are moderate in all aspects of Dunya and Akhira, we are justly balanced in all aspects, we neither lean this way or that way.
