If it had been OUR WILL, WE should have elevated him {this character} with OUR SIGNS {and made him a great soul}; BUT {he turned his free will to what he himself desired so as a result in effect} he inclined to the earth {earthly matters – searching out earthly secrets for his own aggrandizement} and followed his own {lustful} vain desires {separating his will from THE WILL of his LORD {for his own selfish reasons}. His similitude is that of a dog: if you attack him, he lolls out his tongue, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls out his tongue. That is the similitude of those {types of disbelievers} who {are VAIN enough to} REJECT {ignore} OUR SIGNS; so relate the story; perchance they MAY REFLECT.                          Quran (7:176)

This man, for he was only a man, has been called by Jewish literature the one-eyed false prophet. His name is given by Ibn Kathir in his excellent work on the Tafseer of the Quran.

He also has been somewhat admired in a few Jewish writings. However, for the most part, he is vilified as a scoundrel who finally caved in to a corrupt polytheistic king (after first refusing), to go forth and destroy Israel.

He gets stopped by an angel as his donkey throws him to the ground by its sudden stop. Cursing, he gets a lesson from the ‘talking donkey’ on how the angel has been sent and will kill him if he goes any further. Therefore, his quest to destroy Israel is ruined by ALLAH.

One can suggest historically only that if there is no Israel then there is no Christ-soul and if there is no Christ-soul then there is no coming of Muhammad (pbh). So, our planned history is erased or delayed because of that swine!

No way is that going to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody can alter ALLAH’s PLAN! HE IS NOT A DEFECTIVE GOD!!!

So when it is said, ‘If it had been OUR WILLonly ONE WILL is operating here and that WILL is based on TOTAL KNOWLEDGE before, during and after the existence of the universe! One doesn’t exist unless HE approves it.

ALLAH is THE GREAT BENEFACTOR for all especially for mankind as HE opened for this contentious lot (mankind) many chances to get on track if one goes a straying. By paying true homage to GOD and accepting GOD’s SIGNS (Revelations, Decrees, Guidance, Proofs, Evidences, and Lessons as life passed on), he would have grown in goodness and spiritual value.

 

BUT he desired out of his own free will to act as his own personal god who refuses any good master (prophet/guidance) and followed his lustful thinking of egotistic power of what he could be (in his mind at least). And so he ‘opened’ the door for Satan to come in who would promise him his unconditional support and friendship.

To prove his mighty worth, Satan had to give him proofs and of course the proofs of Satan are ultimately worthless considering the ‘end’ result. Satan can only attack the unwary and the worthless ones who give themselves over to their own pride and glory.

One great sign that Satan could give would be to give this brazen, foolish person such a gift that would cement their relationship for good for he (that man) had to be taught to trust this maligned spirit! That ‘gift’ might have been revealing (for Jinn could at one time approach the special company discussing secrets on high and snatch a hearing), for example, the Greatest Name of ALLAH to call upon the lower forces to make things happen?

Neither shall he regard the GOD of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

But in his estate shall he honor the god of forces: and a god whom his fathers did not know shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.         Daniel (11:37-38)

‘And verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the males among the Jinn but they (Jinn) increased them (mankind) in sin and transgression. Quran (72:6)

‘And verily, we {Jinn} used to sit there (near heaven) in stations, to (steal a) hearing, but any who listens NOW will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush.                       Quran (72:9)

‘Imraan ibn Husayn said: “I heard the Messenger of ALLAH (pbh) say: ‘From the time of the creation of Adam until the Hour begins, there will never be a bigger {more terrible} creation than the Dajjaal.’”      (Muslim)

AND ALLAH did NOT miss or forget anything in HIS QURAN AND THAT IS A FACT!!!

The Anti-christ is like the reflection of a ‘Christ’ but without the real substance. Or one can compare the two by having one rare beautifully cut diamond placed side-by-side with a beautifully but ordinary cut crystal. When compared, the value of the two are not even close! So it is with the Real Christ versus the Anti-christ.

To find out more about the Anti-christ, get the proper advice from any acceptable source approved in Sunni Literature with Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunnan Abu Dawud, Ahmad and Tirmidhi taking the leading places amongst this literature.

Naturally, we know that he is ‘just a man’ and that this Dajjal or Anti-christ persona will come on this normal looking man and change him into what has been described by Prophet Muhammad (pbh). His ‘name’ is kept hidden so that he will be free to operate and cause massive mistrust and dissentions amongst the believers and any person who comes upon him.

He also must be relatively young such that his first great of many lunacies will be to convince others that he is the returned Jesus (pbh) who arose at approximately 33 years of age and will return at approximately 33 years of age.

“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”     Acts (1:11)

So, we know he is a man of treachery and slimy, evil at his very core. And the way some people are acting politically today, they certainly wouldn’t mind a little help from this disgraceful and vile person.

“There shall arise in his place one who imposes taxes on the glorious kingdom; but within a few days he shall be destroyed, but not in anger or in battle.

And in his place shall arise a vile person, to whom they will NOT give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue.                  Daniel (11:20-21)

And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.

He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.  Daniel (11:23-24)

The above is from the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament which has been accredited to a ‘writer’ writing in the era of around the second century before the birth of Jesus. While these writings that we have may date back to the second century B C, it is thought by some that they are copied from a version dated much earlier. Daniel’s Book is highly controversial in that it uses fantastic imagery but so far it seems to be holding water as to its authenticity.

Abu Huraira reported ALLAH’s Messenger (pbh) as saying: May I not inform you about the Dajjal what no Apostle of ALLAH narrated to his people? He would be blind and he would bring along with him: an Image of Paradise and Hell-Fire and what he would call as Paradise that would be Hell-Fire and I warn you as Noah warned his people.    (Muslim)

Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of ALLAH (pbh) said, “The world, with all that it contains, is accursed except for the remembrance of ALLAH {and} that which pleases ALLAH; and the religious schools and seekers of knowledge.”               (At- Tirmidhi)

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of ALLAH (pbh) said: “Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, ALLAH will make easy for him a path to Paradise. People do not gather in the houses of ALLAH, reciting the book of ALLAH and studying it together, but that tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will cover them, angels will surround them, and ALLAH will mention them to those near HIM.”    (Muslim)
