AN ADDENDUM MY LIFE, ANCESTORS, AND BRETHREN IN FAITH 537 These are the two great problems with your doctrine that are an obstacle in your faith, your doctrine of the Unity of Allah, the strength of your virtue, and your truthfulness. As far as the meaning explained by me- —and for which I am well prepared—is concerned, it is whole- some in every aspect. In this, there is no doubt, nor any iota of idolatry or any denial of the Holy Prophetas. Rather, it is a source of solace for the eyes and it liberates us from these two burdens. Therefore, accept this and show gratitude. And that Dajjal, which according to you is the offspring of a delicate woman, and has been fed milk by a weak and beautiful lady not by the arrogant Satan-how can you imagine that it will become strong like satanic beings and will resemble them in its melodious voice? Maybe it would be stronger than this, and would be hard like iron, and span to 70 yards in length! = O ye progeny of the free and pious! Ponder over it. Is it possible that when it appears, the powers of Allah would be no longer functional, and that the Dajjal will be all-powerful to do whatever he wants and to oppress whomsoever he desires? Will he take complete control of the sun, moon, fire, water, paradise, the treasures of the earth, and each particle of the clouds? Is it possible that he will go around the world in just one hour and gather the people of the east and the west under his flag, place hatchets on their heads, cut them into two pieces, and then bring them to life again, thereby disproving the following Quranic Is it possible that he will put His plans into. فيُمسك التي قضى عَلَيْهَا الْمَوْتَ : verse practice with all His energy, crush the doctrine of the Oneness of Allah under His feet, mocking at it? Our Lord is free from that which they ascribe to Him, and all praise belongs to Allah. O people! Surely, there is a mystery concealed within this proph- ecy, and it is to your great benefit to develop an understanding of it. Thus, accept it with an open heart, and become one of the wise. May Allah be Merciful to you, and He is the Best among the merciful. 1. And during their sleep of those also that are not yet dead (Surah az-Zumar, 39:43). [Publisher]
