Dajjal the Antichrist achieved by man will be won at the hands of angels. 289 [Haqiqat-ul-Waḥī, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 22, pp. 323-324]. If God forbid it had truly been written in the Holy. Qur'an that, contrary to the Divine law which binds all of mankind, Jesus was raised bodily to heaven and will survive till the Day of Judgement, the Christians would have been furnished with tremendous means to mislead mankind. Excellent, therefore, it is that the god of the Christians suffered death. This assault that has been mounted by this humble one, on behalf of God Almighty, in his character as messiah son of Mary, against the people of. Dajjāl-like character who were bestowed holy things but mixed them with pollution and who performed that which should have been performed by Dajjāl, is not in any respect less than an assault with a sharp sword. . It may be asked: Jesus, son of Mary, was to come to vanquish the Dajjal, and if it is you who have come in the spirit of Jesus, son of Mary, who then is the Dajjāl against you? My answer is that, though I admit the possibility of another Messiah son of Mary coming after me, and he may even be the promised one in the context of some Aḥādīth, and a Dajjāl may also come to mislead the. Muslims, yet my belief is that so far there has not been any Dajjal like the Christian clergy of these days, nor shall there ever be till the Day of Judgement. A Hadith of. Muslim reads: و عن عمران بن حصين قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و الى قيام الساعة امر اكبر من الدجال سلم يقول ما بين خلق آدم ا 'Imran son of Husain reports: I heard the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: From the creation of Adamas to the Judgement Day there will be no greater catastrophe than that of the Dajjal. . . .
