Malf uza t - English translation of Urdu Volume 8 436 And the Da l i n are those who went to excess in loving him and assigned Divine attributes to him. We are taught to pray only to avoid both of these conditions. If the Dajj a l were someone other than these groups, this prayer would have been like this: ِ ال َّ ج َّ َ الد اْل َ ْهِم ْ و ی ْر ِ الْمَغْضُوْب ِ عَلَ ی غَ ِ ال َّ ج َّ َ الد اْل َ ْهِم ْ و ی ْر ِ الْمَغْضُوْب ِ عَلَ ی غَ [those who have not incurred Your dis- pleasure, nor of the Dajj a l ]. This is a prophecy that was given to forewarn the Muslims to make them aware of each of the two types of evils of this age. It is indeed these missions of the Christians that are trying their very utmost to eradicate Islam from the face of the world. They are proving very dangerous for Islam. Despite seeing such severe calamities, it is a mistake to fall prey to imaginary and conjectural things and look for the Dajj a l in other places. We have present before us such a dangerous Dajj a l that its like can- not be found in earlier peoples. No human power and hand can subdue it. But yes, this will be done by the hands of God. This work which is before me, and to which I have laid claim that I have come to break the cross, is no small concern of mine, because if my real work is not fulfilled, then even miracles and marvels are nothing. If a physician cannot cure the patient but is good at playing some sport, then this matter cannot be of much help to his claim of being a physician. So, the great concern I am facing is that the work of breaking the cross may be accomplished. The other aspect of my concern is internal, related to those who see everything straight as upside down and think a friend to be a foe. The real pity is that out of enmity for me, they also harbour hostility toward the Holy Prophet. And if any sup- porting evidence argues in favour of the Holy Prophet, and it is also found in me, they even reject such evidence. For example, this verse of the Holy Quran says that if a Messenger fabricates a statement himself and attributes it to God Almighty, he will be killed immediately.
