Dajjal-the Antichrist 293 the Christians and advocates of Trinity have resorted to, could not proceed from anyone but the great Dajjal and we have no choice but to identify this group of Christian missionaries with him. When we observe to the past his- tory of the greater part of the world, we gain the impres- sion that, as far as it can be ascertained, there has been no precedent of such successful deception and misguidance as undertaken by these people. And as the Aḥādīth say, the Dajjal will cause such mischief as would be un- matched since the beginning of the world. It follows, therefore, that these people are the great Dajjal who was to come from the church, and to counter whose magic a miracle was needed. He who disputes this should pro- duce a matching instance from the Dajjals of the past. [Izāla-e-Auhām, Rūķānī Khazā'in, vol. 3, pp. 361-366]
