Wa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadan Abdu Hu Wa Rasooluhu
''I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah
who is without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) is the Rasool.''
"O Allah, Shower Your Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have brought peace to Ibrahim and his family.
Truly, Your are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, Shower your blessing upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, Your are Praiseworthy and Glorious". I am Satisfied with Allâh as My Rabb and Cherisher, I am Satisfied With Islam as My Din(religion) and I am satisfied with Muhammad as a Rasulallah (Messenger)sallallahu alaihi was salam . (This is the Statement of ALLAH in the Quran) ” Surah 60 - Al Mumtahinah - Ayat - 001) O ye who believe! Take not my enemies and yours as friends (or protectors),- offering them (your) love, even though they have rejected the Truth that has come to you, and have (on the contrary) driven out the Prophet and yourselves (from your homes), (simply) because ye believe in God your Lord! If ye have come out to strive in My Way and to seek My Good Pleasure, (take them not as friends), holding secret converse of love (and friendship) with them: for I know full well all that ye conceal and all that ye reveal. And any of you that does this has strayed from the Straight Path.
Surah 60 - Al Mumtahinah - Ayat - 002) If they were to get the better of you, they would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you for evil: and they desire that ye should reject the Truth. I declare that ALLAH's Enemies as His Enemies, and I donot take His Enemies as Friends or protectors. (The Dajjal and his followers are the Enemies of ALLAH). And I also Declare that the Believers are the Friends of ALLAH, and I donot take them as enemies.----- O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave.
and O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the Fire(Hell)
and O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the trial of life and death.O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the trial of al-Masih ad-Dajjal.---- O, Allâh, Revealer of the Holy Book, and the One swift at reckoning! O, Allâh, Defeat the confederates. O, Allâh, Defeat them and shake them. O Slaves of Allaah! Fear Allaah and take provisions from the way of Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam), because it is the best source for provisions, and ask Allaah to keep your hearts steadfast upon Islam and to help you in staying away from deviation. O Slaves of Allaah! This supplication which reflects humility and humbleness to Allaah, was the supplication of the best of creation, our Rasulallah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. Uttering this supplication is an indication of perfect imitation of Rasulallah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, as ‘Um Salamah, may Allaah be pleased with her, said, ‘Rasulallah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam used to repeatedly say this supplication, “O Controller of the hearts! Make my heart steadfast upon Your religion” so I asked him, ‘Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam), ! Do hearts fluctuate?’ He said, “Yes, all mankind’s hearts are between two of the fingers of Allaah. If Allaah wills He maintains a man’s steadfastness, and if He wills He deviates him” (Ahmad & Tirmithi). Likewise, in the narration of ahAnas, may Allaah be pleased with him, he said, ‘Rasulallah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam used to repeatedly say, “O Controller of the hearts! Make my heart steadfast upon Your religion” so I said to him, ‘Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam), ! We believed in you and in what you came with; do you fear that we may deviate?’ He said, “Yes, all mankind’s hearts are between two of the fingers of Allaah. He changes them as He pleases” (Tirmithi & Ibn Maajah).
Therefore, when a slave is watchful of Allaah and safeguards His rights, Allaah will be with the slave through his life until he dies upon the state of belief and Allaah grants him Paradise. So fear Allaah, and maintain all reasons of steadfastness and beware of what might deviate you. It is only when you do so that you will be succeed.
Where will he appear from the island that he was on? where will he come from in order to make his appearance? how will he get to the middel East without being recognize? This generation is now seeing the appearance of the Dajjal. But remeber

Because there are two specific signs that will appear in Madina as reported by our Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam), which will mark that the time for the appearance of Dajjal, he will appear or be born in the midnight. And these two Signs have already appeared!!!!!! Here we provide to you the two specific traditions: Narrated Abdullah ibn Shafeeq who reported from Muhjin ibn Adraa who reported that Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) said: "The End/finish/khalaas day, and What do you know what the khalaas days is?" (Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) repeats the same statement 3 times). Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) then answered: "The Dajjal will come and will climb and will see Madina and then he will say to his companions,'Do you see that White Palace? That is the Mosque of Ahmad (another name of Prophet Muhammad)', Afterwards the Dajjal will come to Madina but will find that by its each entrance there is an armed angel ( who would not allow him entry)... afterwards Madina will shake 3 times and there will not remain a hypocrite male or female nor will there remain a fasiq male or female who would not go out to the Dajjal (to join him), and that is the day of khalaas." It is evident that this is the time periods the Hajj season(October/Novber 2011/Dhul-Hijjah1432) when the dajjal will try to enter Mecca and Medina ,where there is Millions of Muslims, he will try to remain inconspiuous, But it will become more evident then every before that he is the dajjal.Whether he trys to enther Mecca and Medinah in this Hajj season or the next Hajj season or any Hajj season, the Angeles will be waiting at each gate(guarding them with swords drawn) The other sign the prophet fortold regarding the comeing of the Dajjal is that Madinah at that time (at the time of Dajjal's appearance) will have 7 main entrances: The Prophet said: "The terror caused by Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal will not enter Medinah and at that time Medina will have seven gates and there will be two angels at each gate (guarding them)." [Sahih Bukhari: Book of afflictions, Volume 9, Book 88, Number 240] Just look at the recent Map of Madinah city, if you find one, and you will see that there are 7 main entrances today leading to the city.
One road coming from Jeddah, the other coming from Makkah, another coming from Rabigh, one from the airport, another from Tabouk, and two from surrounding areas. During the time of the prophet the Masjidun Nabawi or the Mosque of Ahmad was very simple as it was built of mud bricks and had date leaves as its covering for the roof. It was just recently in our era that the Mosque of Prophet was expanded and was given a very grand and beautiful structure. Anyone who has travelled to Madina in recent times will confirm that upon reaching the vacinities of this holy city, the Mosque of the Prophet appears as a pearl or as a palace amongst other building from a far. Anas b. Malik Radi Allaho Anho reported that Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) said: There will be no land which would not be covered by the Dajjal but Mecca and Medinah, and there would no passage out of the passages leading to them which would not be guarded by angels arranged in rows. Then he (the Dajjal) would appear in a barren place adjacent to Medina and it would rock three times that every unbeliever and hypocrite would get out of it towards him. Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) once addressed the people saying: "The Day of Deliverance, what is the Day of Deliverance!" and repeating it thrice. He was asked: "What is the Day of Deliverance?" He said: "The Dajjal (The Imposter of the End of Time) will come, climb on top of Jabal Habshi, look at Madinah, and say to his Companions: Do you see this white palace? This is the mosque of Ahmad. Then he will approach Madinah only to find on each path an angel with drawn sword. He will reach the wasteland of Al-Jurf and make camp. Madinah will then shake thrice and no hypocrite man or woman, nor corrupt man or woman will fail to go out to join him. This is the Day of Deliverance!" (Ahadith about the signs of The Hour, Mustafa Al-Adawi) The struggle against Dajjal is not easy. The influence of Dajjal is great and his despotism is fierce; and he will try to silence those who dare to struggle against him. The believer should not lose the sense of struggle and strive as much as (s)he can. (S)He should turn (her) his heart away if (s)he cannot do anything. (S)He should not approach him or his cause as much as possible and stay away from his mischief. The advice of Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) regarding the issue is as follows:“When you hear the emergence of Dajjal, stay away from him because one goes to him with the intention of refusing him but becomes a subject because he gives apprehension to the hearts and deceives and doubts them.”“Another narration is as follows: “When you hear the emergence of Dajjal, do not approach him as much as possible. A person goes to him thinking that Dajjal is a believer, stays with him for a while and falls into his trap with his doubts. “Approaching Dajjal in this context is not just approaching his body but also his cause which causes confusion in the minds and hearts. The system of Dajjal will continue even after he dies. He goes away by leaving a devastating mischief. A Hadith advises us to prefer staying at home so as not to be infected with the appealing mischief of Dajjal. Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) informs us that before the doomsday there will be mischief like pieces of night time; one will reach the morning as a believer but become an unbeliever by the night time and many people will sell their religion for a piece of worldly benefit. The Sahaba asked him, “What should we do when we reach such a time?" Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)said, “Do not become infected by leaving your homes. The point is not to fall into his trap, to know Dajjal well so as not to be seized by his appealing mischief and carry out the struggle that one should. Unfortunately, people who do not know Dajjal well can have wrong opinions and fall into his trap because of negligence and ignorance. The Dajjal can hunt those people down easily because he adopts methods like deception, fraud, and hypocrisy. Dajjal is an unbeliever; he will start a war against Islam and will attack in every chance he gets. There is no need to say that people who know those things and follow him nevertheless will risk themselves. Even their deeds will not be useful for them. As Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)says for the people who submit to Dajjal “none of their good acts will be of any use”.(13)

What can we do to avoid the mischief of the Dajjal?

Certainly, I am warning you against Dajjal. There is no prophet who has not warned his people against him. Likewise, Noah (pbuh) had also warned his people against Dajjal. The greater the danger, the more protection necessary. Accordingly, there are warnings and preventive measures. As it can be seen above, Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) has made the necessary warnings against that big danger. Because of those warnings, the Sahaba had expected Dajjal as a big calamity in a nearby place and a near time and they had prepared against him accordingly. Nawwas bin Sam’an explains how Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) expressed that mischief:

“Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) explained Dajjal one morning. He lowered Dajjal so much and emphasized (his mischief) so much that we thought he was in that date garden (in person).



Seeking refuge in Allah from the mischief of Dajjal, (16) Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) had taught them this prayer that he often repeated himself: “I seek refuge in You from the mischief of Dajjal”.(17) In addition, after finishing the final tashahhud of the prayer (salat) he advised us to seek refuge in Allah from the following four things: the Hell torment, the grave torment, the mischief of life and death and the evil of Masihu’d Dajjal.(18)

Including those Sunnah prayers in his principles of methods, Badiuzzaman also mentioned avoiding the mischief of Dajjal in the prayers he made after morning (fajr) and evening (maghrib) prayers: “O Allah, protect us from Hell! O Allah, protect us from all fires! O Allah, protect us from the religious and worldly mischief! O Allah, protect us from the mischief of the end of time! O Allah, protect us from the mischief of Masihu’d Dajjal and Sufyan! O Allah, protect us from perversion, false innovation (bid’a) and troubles!”(19)

Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) also advises reading the first verses of the Chapter al-Kahf to avoid the mischief of Dajjal. “Among his mischief is that he has a heaven and a hell by his side. However, his hell is Heaven and his heaven is Hell. Whoever is tested with his fire should ask for help from Allah and read the first verses of the Chapter al-Kahf. Then, his fire will give coolness and peace as it happened to Abraham. ” (20) In addition, apart from the narration for protection from the evil of Dajjal, there are narrations that say, “One who reads the Chapter al-Kahf will be protected from the mischief of Dajjal”(21), “one who reads the last verses”(22) and “one who memorizes the first ten verses will be protected”.(23) What is the Divine Wisdom in the reading that chapter (surah)? In that chapter, Allah, the Almighty, is introduced with His personality and attributes and it is explained how, with His help, Ashab-u Kahf were rescued from the evil of the ruler of the time, Dakyanus. One can be protected from the evil of Dajjal with the help of Allah. That chapter gives the believers that security. An important wisdom of the fact that that chapter has been read in mosques every Friday since the time of the Messenger of Allah, is seeking refuge in Allah from the evil of Dajjal. When Muhammed al-Hejazi (d.

1625) evaluates the advice of reading the Chapter al-Kahf for













the protection from the mischief of Dajjal, he says that Dajjal



can only be resisted with the Qur’an. He explains the secret as:









“One who is strong against Dajjal is strong only with theWords of ALLAH (Qur’an and Sunnah of Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam). The tricks, doubts and apprehensions of Dajjal cannot influence, in any way, a person who has the Qur’an and Sunnah in his heart, and who Truely Love Islam(the Deen of ALLAH)who fills his heart and Soul with its sacred truths and practices .
We have too have a True Love for ALLAH!,for His Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam)!,and for His Deen!(ISLAM)!!!
















































































, Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) clarified this point to Ibn Abbaas saying:

"…If the whole nation were to gather together to benefit you they would only benefit you with that which Allaah had already written for you and if the whole nation were to gather to harm you they could only harm you with that which Allaah had already written to harm you. The pen has been lifted and the ink has dried (a phrase meaning: everything has been decreed or settled)". [At-Tirmithi]

ISLAM’S MOST DANGEROUS ENEMY

It is Narrated by one of the Sahabah that Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam) has said in one of his treasured speeches, introduced the hypocrites as Islam's most dangerous enemy. He even said that they were Islam's only enemy. The following is the text of His(sallallahu alaihi was salam) speech: “I have never been frightened of any nation conquering Islam. I only worry about one group of people: the unbelievers who pretend to be Muslim, the two-faced hypocrites. They are with you in their words, but they would never take a step with you.”[10])

Rasulallah's(sallallahu alaihi was salam), best student, the Commander of the Faithful (a) said the following regarding the hypocrites: “I warn you about the hypocrites. They are misguided and they misguide as well. They have appeared in society in different colors and with different faces. Their speech is eloquent, profitable and is even a cure for pain. But their actions are like incurable diseases.”[11]

The Islamic world must heed this warning given to us by our master, The Muslims must take this advice and, with the utmost scrutiny, become aware of the hypocrites. Hypocrites must be banished from the community. Their appearances should not fool the Muslims and their vows should not be accepted. The Muslims should know that they cover up their evil actions by taking part in religious ceremonies.

THE QURANIC CONDEMNATION OF HYPOCRITICAL BELIEFS

Hypocrites claim that the sustenance of humans is in their own hands. But they are neglectful of the important principle that the sustenance of humans is under the control of Allah. Allah, who gives sustenance to his enemies, would never let His own friends remain in a state of hunger and difficulty. All of the treasures of the earth and the skies are under the control of Allah. This great system of life, where sustenance is granted to everything on every corner of the world is wisely controlled by Allah. People of faith will be relieved from economic hardships through resistance and strong belief. Only impatient groups will fall and eventually yield to the deviant ideas of influential people. Righteous people, with the strength that comes from faith and patience, make their enemy understand that eventually economic embargos will be lifted and that they will have to change their minds. This reality was made apparent in the very beginning of Islam, through the events of Sh?ib Ab? T??lib.

The hypocrites claimed that honor and strength came from possessing land and water. They thought that the Muh?jir?n were despised and wretched because they possessed less land than the Ans??r. They were unaware of the fact that sometimes these possessions result in despicableness, helplessness and being despised by others. In reality, both honor and dishonor come from the inside. What is meant here by “inside” is the faith that carries man from the depths of wretchedness to the peak of honor. For this reason, the Quran says that honor is for the believers; it belongs to those who have faith.

A person of faith, one who believes in ALLAH and the Last day,and the Day of Judgment,and values the humanbeing , is not fooled by many of the world's tricks. The possibility of worldly gain cannot lure him into falling for such tricks.

There are ways by which a Muslim can be protected from deviation.

•Truthfulness in faith, strong certainty in Allaah and sincerity in the belief in the Oneness of Allaah is one way. There can be no prosperity, salvation nor success except by fulfilling the belief in the oneness of Allaah by adhering to the Sunnah and shunning all that opposes it. Shunning what opposes the Sunnah means abandoning innovations, because each innovation is misguidance. The Rasulallah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam clarified this in the narration of Al-‘Irbaadh Ibn Saariyah, may Allaah be pleased with him, “He amongst you who would live after my death will see many things which he does not recognise, so adhere to my Sunnah and the way of the rightly guided caliphs after me, stick to it and bite on it with your molar teeth; and beware of innovations, because every innovation is misguidance” (Ahmad, Tirmithi and others).

O Slaves of Allaah! Fear Allaah and take provisions from the way of Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam), because it is the best source for provisions, and ask Allaah to keep your hearts steadfast upon Islam and to help you in staying away from deviation.

O Slaves of Allaah! This supplication which reflects humility and humbleness to Allaah, was the supplication of the best of creation, our Rasulallah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. Uttering this supplication is an indication of perfect imitation of Rasulallah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, as ‘Um Salamah, may Allaah be pleased with her, said, ‘Rasulallah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam used to repeatedly say this supplication, “O Controller of the hearts! Make my heart steadfast upon Your religion” so I asked him, ‘Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam), ! Do hearts fluctuate?’ He said, “Yes, all mankind’s hearts are between two of the fingers of Allaah. If Allaah wills He maintains a man’s steadfastness, and if He wills He deviates him” (Ahmad & Tirmithi).

Likewise, in the narration of aHHAnas, may Allaah be pleased with him, he said, ‘Rasulallah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam used to repeatedly say, “O Controller of the hearts! Make my heart steadfast upon Your religion” so I said to him, ‘Ya Rasulallah(sallallahu alaihi was salam), ! We believed in you and in what you came with; do you fear that we may deviate?’ He said, “Yes, all mankind’s hearts are between two of the fingers of Allaah. He changes them as He pleases” (Tirmithi & Ibn Maajah).

Therefore, when a slave is watchful of Allaah and safeguards His rights, Allaah will be with the slave through his life until he dies upon the state of belief and Allaah grants him Paradise. So fear Allaah, and maintain all reasons of steadfastness and beware of what might deviate you. It is only when you do so that you will be succeed.
