The Qur’an, Dajjal and the Jasad

 

What are the implications of Dajjal as a Human Jasad?

 

Since Prophet Muhammad pbuh declared that Dajjal would be a Jew, and that he would be a young man who would be powerfully built and would have the side-burns of curls which the Torah has ordered for males, the inescapable implication is that Dajjal would make his appearance as a human being.  When we look at him we would see nothing other than a human being, but we know from the Qur’an that he is a Jasad. Hence the question now arises: If Dajjal is a human-being and he is also a Jasad, in what way does Dajjal differ from a normal human being?

 

Our answer is that it can only be in respect of the Ruh, or Divine spirit, which Allah Most High has breathed into every human being, in consequence of which a human being can not only see, and hear, and display intelligence—the way animals can see and hear and act intelligently—but has additional sight, hearing and a rational faculty:

 

(Qur’an, al-Sajdah, 32:9)

Then He gave him form, and breathed into him of His Spirit: and as a consequence He endowed you with hearing, and sight, and hearts with which to acquire knowledge, [yet] how seldom are you grateful!

 

The Qur’an refers to the capacity for internal sight that is located in the heart:

(Qur’an, al-Hajj, 22:46)

Will they not travel about the earth, so that their hearts might come alive and they might then be able to think, and so that they might be able to hear what otherwise could not be heard?  Yet, verily, it is not their eyes that have become blind—but blind have become the hearts that are in their breasts!

 

It also warns that Allah Most High can seal the human heart in such a way that the internal capacity for sight, for hearing and for internally received knowledge, would no longer be possible:

(Qur’an, al-Baqarah, 2:7)

Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing, and over their eyes is a veil; and awesome suffering awaits them.

 

Our view, and Allah Knows best, is that Dajjal, the Jasad, does not have the same Ruh, or spirit, that human beings have, and this is what has made him a Jasad. 

 

Since the Prophet described him as an evil being, the implication is that he was created as such, and therefore bears no responsibility for his deeds. He was not created as a moral being, and hence his actions do not qualify as conduct. The implication is that he does not possess the freedom which human beings have for making a free choice. He does not possess a free will, or a self-directed will. He also does not possess the capacity for independent thinking which human beings possess because of their creative intellect. In other words, Dajjal, the Jasad, is externally programmed to act in the way that he does. He can be likened to an automaton externally endowed with intelligence.

 

Further Implications

The further implication in our view, of our recognition of Dajjal as a Jasad, is that he would attempt to transform all of mankind into Jasads like himself.

 

The Qur’an warns, in a warning that must be recognized to be primarily directed to those who fail to respond correctly to Fitnah, i.e., tests and trials, posed by Dajjal, that multitudes would be reduced to a status equivalent to cattle, and that they would then be a people destined for the Hell-fire. When we examine the contemporary world of Islam and the almost universal negative responses to our attempt to teach and explain the reality of the world today, it should be clear that the multitudes of Muslims have already been reduced to the status of cattle:

 

(Qur’an, al-‘Araf, 7:179)

And most certainly have We destined for hell huge numbers of the Jinn and men who have hearts with which they fail to grasp the truth, and eyes with which they fail to see, and ears with which they fail to hear. They are like cattle—nay, they are even less conscious of the right way: it is they, they who are the [truly] heedless!

 

The Qur’an further warns those who are reduced to internal blindness and thus become Jasads like Dajjal would remain blind in the next world as well:

 

(Qur’an, al-Isra’, 17:72)

Whoever is internally blind in this world will be blind in the life to come as well and still farther astray from the path of truth.

 

Whoever has eyes and yet cannot see would have become a Jasad like unto Dajjal. How then does Dajjal reduce people to a state of internal blindness? How does Dajjal get people to stop thinking in consequence of which he would think for them, and how does he get people to stop using their own free-will with which to make proper choices in life, in consequence of which he would choose for them? We need to discover how Dajjal succeeds in getting the masses of people to dance to every tune he plays. It is therefore a matter of supreme importance to our readers that they should have some insight into the strategies which Dajjal will employ in order to reduce most of mankind into Jasads like himself, and it is to this subject that we now turn.
