169 Wahrhaftigkeit des Verheißenen Messias The Truth of the Promised Messiah One sign about the advent of the Promised Messiah, peace be upon him, had been mentioned that Dajjal would emerge at that time. Thus according to a Tradition, the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, addressing his companions, said:- "There has not been a Prophet who did not forewarn his community about an one-eyed liar. Beware and hearken a0entively that he has only one eye but your Lord is not a one-eyed one. The le0er ''K. F. R'' will be seen inscribed between his eyes, and according to a Tradition, he will bring alongwith him the like of Heaven and Hell. But the thing whi1 he will call Heaven will actually be Hell. And there is another Tradition to the effect that Dajjal will emerge and that he will be accompanied with water and fire; but that thing whi1 will appear to the people as water, will be actually the fire whi1 burns, and the thing whi1 people will regard as fire, will be cool and sweet water. And one eye of Dajjal will be depressed and there will be a kind of a big mark over it and there will be inscribed ''KAFIR'' between his eyes whi1 every believer will be able to read whether he is literate or illiterate. And according to another Tradition, Dajjal will be blind in his right eye. Thus, when any one of you happen to find him, you should recite the first verses of surah Al-Kahf because these first verses of Surah AlKahf will make you safe from his mis1ief. There is another Tradition, whi1 says, that Dajjal will command the sky i. e. the clouds to pour rain and the sky will pour rain. And he will command land to grow food and she will grow food, and he will pass through over the ruins and command them to bring forth its treasures, and its treasures will come forth and start following him. And there is a Tradition that Dajjal will say to the people that if I were to slay a person and then curse him to come alive, then will you entertain any doubt about this ma0er of mine. The people will reply 'No'. Then he will kill him and then revive him again. And another Tradition says that he will have a mountain of bread and a canal of water. And there is a Tradition that Dajjal will appear si0ing on a shining ass and that ass will be su1 that there will be a distance of 70 feet between his two ears. (Sahih Muslim Kitab Fitan wal Ishrat alSaat, vol 4 page 2249-2258) Ein Zei1en für die Ankunft des Messias ist das Ers1einen des Anti-Christen (Dajjal) zu jener Zeit. In einer Überlieferug wird deshalb beri1tet, dass der Heilige Prophet saw sagte: "Es gibt keinen Propheten, der ni1t seine Anhänger vor dem einäugigen (im Arabis1en wird der dajjal au1 als a’awaro bezei1net, d. h. dass er zwei Augen hat, eines jedo1 erblindet ist) Lügner gewarnt hat. Seid vorsi1tig, er ist einäugig, aber euer Herr ist ni1t einäugig. Seid vorsi1tig und vernehmt, dass die Bu1staben K F R zwis1en seinen beiden Augen ges1rieben sein werden. In einer Überlieferug heißt es, er werde dem Paradies und dem Feuer ähnelnde Dinge mit si1 bringen. Aber das, was er Paradies nennen wird, ist in Wirkli1keit die Hölle. In einer anderen Überlieferug heißt es, dass der Anti1rist kommen wird, und mit ihm werden Wasser und Feuer sein. Aber das, was die Mens1en für Wasser halten werden, wird eigentli1 brennendes Feuer sein und das, was die Mens1en für Feuer halten werden, wird eigentli1 kühles und süßes Wasser sein. Eines seiner
