THE BLIND EYE OF THE DAJAAL. In the interest of Islam and the realisation of the ultimate truth, the adversaries of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community ought to rise above their prejudices and admit that this segment of the Holy Prophet's. Tradition is as much subject to interpretation as the segments referring to the breaking of the cross and the killing of the swine.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community's opinion that the blinded eye of the Dajaal signifies that the anti Christ would be devoid of spiritual sight is not based upon any fanciful interpretation as is often alleged by the critics but the ultimate wisdom of the Holy Quran which represents believers as those who are in full possession of their faculty of sight and the non believers as those that are blind. 21.

Jesus will be free from ignorance, avarice, greed and other despicable moral vices of the kind. '¹ '22. MAUDUDI'S DESCRIPTION OF KAFIR. AND ITS SIMILARITY TO DAJAAL.
