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 history of the greater part of the world, we gain the impression 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 unmatched since the beginning of the world. It follows, therefore, that these people are the great Dajjāl who was to come from the church, and to counter whose magic a miracle was needed. He who disputes this should produce a matching instance from the Dajjāls of the past. [Izāla-e-Auhām, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 3, pp. 361-366]
