On the other hand, if he wears the blindfold of obstinacy and prejudice upon his eyes, he cannot see anything out of it. The Subjugation of Satan is Destined at the Hands of the Promised Messiah It should be noted that the Dajjal [Antichrist], which means ‘the one who misleads’, in reality refers to the one who is the embodiment of Satan. It was written in the earlier scriptures in regard to the Latter Days that many a battle would ensue with Satan during that period, but Satan would eventually be defeated. Though Satan was subdued during the time of every Prophet, it was only in a virtual sense. It was really destined for the Messiah to truly subdue it. God Almighty has promised victory of such a magnitude that He said: 3 ُلِعاَج َنْيِذَّلا َكْوُعَبَّتا َقْوَف َنْيِذَّلا اْۤوُرَفَك ىٰلِا ِمْوَي ِةَمٰيِقْلا ُلِعاَج َنْيِذَّلا َكْوُعَبَّتا َقْوَف َنْيِذَّلا اْۤوُرَفَك ىٰلِا ِمْوَي ِةَمٰيِقْلا 1.

From Badr: Just as a blind person cannot benefit at all from the sun, one who is not a muttaqi [God-fearing individual] would not derive any light from the refulgence of the Quran. One who looks with prejudice and yields to scep- ticism in every issue, would not believe even if an angel appears, let alone believing a mortal ( Badr, vol. 7, no. 1, p. 9, dated 9 January 1908). 3.
