21 existed since the time of our Holy Prophet sa. He called Ibni S ayy a d Dajj a l and said to Hadrat ‘Al i ra : ' You bear a resemblance to ‘ I s a as '. This was when the seed of ‘ I s a as and Dajj a l was sown. With the passage of time, as the darkness of Dajj a l grew, so did people with the true spirit of ‘ I s a as continue to appear to oppose it. This went on until the perfect Dajj a liyyat emerged in the last days, because of the vice, sin, disbelief, and transgression that prevailed all over the world like it had never done before. The Holy Prophet sa had prophesised that such conditions would prevail in the latter days. Hence it was necessary that there should also be a full manifestation of ‘ I swiyyat to counter it. It must be remembered that ' Dajj a liyyat' is a term that signifies all those evils the prevalence of which in the latter days was foretold by the Holy Prophet sa Hadrat Muhammad sa has mentioned several hundred of its ramifications or branches. The Maulaw i s , who prefer to follow the convention in total disregard of the Holy Qur’an, are also branches of the tree of Dajj a liyyat. They recite the Holy Qur’an but do not understand it. In short, today Dajj a liyyat is spreading its numerous tentacles in all directions like a spider. The disbeliever with his disbelief, the hypocrite with his hypocrisy, the drunkard with his drunkenness, and the clerics with their habit of preaching without practising and their malice, are all spinning the net of Dajj a liyyat. This net can only be demolished with a heavenly weapon and that weapon can be effectively used only by the ‘ I s a as who is to descend from the same heaven.
