Anti-Christ or Dajjal in Islam and Christianity
Compiled by: Engineer Afsaneh Cooper
1. Dajjal or Anti-Christ-Link
2. ISIL can be Anti-Christ as Jesus would kill Anti-Christ [a Jew] in Syria
3. Anti-Christ can be a Jewish Political Party under false Flag of Islam
4. Prince Charles of Australia understands that Anti-Christ is killing the Christian minorities!
5. Prince Charles of Ausatralia agrees that we live in a dark age and there are unfair terrorist actions in all countries causing millions of minorities to leave their homes and become refugees, actually lies which has created these movements, which can be from Dajjal / Anti-Christ
6. Since Israel's land and population is too small in the world, Israel tries to support ISIL to conquer Syria for extra land. Israel is anti-Christ, as Jews are the ones who rejected Jesus, while Muslims love Jusus
7. Anti-Christ in Catholic Church practicing homosexuality with children, not taught by Jesus Christ
8. PM of Australia granted visa to 12,000 Syrian refugees [Mostly Christians] who fled from Sunni tyrants [ISIS]
9. American soldiers turn to fake Muslim soldiers and kill civilians. Anti Christ soldiers indeed.
10.Bible Prophesy about the Last Days
11. False Prophet: King Salman, antichrist founder of new religion: Wahhabi-Islam, which did not exist in Prophet Muhammad's Time
12. President Trump did not consult with the congress when he bombarded Syria on 7/4/2017, nor he consulted God [Estekharah method]. Is this the sign for Isa [Jesus] killing anti Christ in City of Sham in Syria?
13. Ex-UK Ambassador: Assad wasn't behind the Chemical attack. He is an honest Christian.
14. Scott Adams thinks Syrian Chemical bombing was manufactured and not true
15. An American Soldier thinks Chemical Bombing was not done by Assad, but done by ISIS
16. Russia advises USA not to fight with Assad who has been fighting with ISIS, Or World security would fall in hands of ISIS. Good Christians follow Jesus and consult rather bombard!
17. Christianity is the only religion in the world, which its prophet would return for second time to tell Christians he is not God, but he is a follower of Prophet Muhammad! - Video
18. Anti-Christ American Soldiers injure a Buddhist doctor and kick him out of the aeroplane after China supported Korea with army-Video
19. Anti-Christ "Sunni ISIS" killed many Christians and minority sect Muslims in Egypt
20. Dajjal can be modern bombs
21. Christian anti-Christs would bomb the Earth-Video
22. 15,000 Nuke existing in the world for defence or attack means one day Anti-Christ type creature would use all to destroy this Earth!
23. Christians are now divided: Followers and opponents of President Trump. This is the power of the poor against the rich.
24. Christians demand Trump's tax return in strike
25. MIT Professor finds errors in US Report on Chemical Attack in Syria
26. Afghanistan was bombed by USA in revenge for N.Korea threatening US
27. Qatar supports Taliban, Sunni Terrorists in Syria and USA supports Qatar
28. Those who tell the truth in USA News, would be in risk of defamation and prosecution. This is the sign of Anti-Christ occupying the USA
29. Turkish Sunnis mass killing of Armenians is a proof that Sunnism is Anti-Christ
30. One of the historical reasons Christians blame Muslims is a Sunni Turkish ruler in 102 years ago killed 1.5 million Armenian Christians in a war. This is an evidence that Sunni Islam is the path of Anti-Christ and Shi'a Islam is the true Islam.
31. American authorities can be anti-Christ by exempting themselves from International Criminal Justice Law
32. North Korean authorities can be anti-Christ by trying to bombard Australia as a puppet of USA
33. One Nation Party can be Anti-Christ by breaching Australian Law
34. Trump and Kim are pulling the rope with a knot! Trump and Kim are similar
35. Trump and Putin are ocean bombers and this has to do with artificial Tsunomi. So even the two leaders of rich and poor Christian countries cannot create Peace in the world! Who is the Peaceful World Leader except Imam Mahdi [a.t.f.sh.]?
36. Kim is a cloud bomber and it has to do with Nuclear Energy bursting to destroy mountains, etc. Kim is the leader of poor Buddhists and cannot create Peace in the World! So only Imam Mahdi is the only divine leader who can convert Buddhists, Christians and Sunni Muslims to the Shi'a Islam and create Peace in the world! He would do this followed by Jesus.
37. Australia and USA are brothers and no one can separates them. Therefore Australians also cannot provide World war Peace to people due to USA Bombing policies and actions in the past. So the only way the peace can be provided for the world people is by Imam Mahdi.
38. Saudi Arabian king is anti-Christ by starting war against Yemen. A Muslim who kills his other Muslim brothers is definitely anti-Christ.
39. President Trump converted to Sunni Islam and does not commit to Christian NATO Counries! Sure NATO countries are not Anti-Christ, are they?
40. Senator Richard Di Natale of Australia says: Tying our fate with that of Donald Trump is a recipe for disaster
42. Dajjal Soldiers in UK-London bridge are all Sunnis [Corrupted- fake Islam] and act as Anti-Christ and terror Christian youth in a cafe'.
43. Egyptian Sunnis acting as Anti-Christ killing Christian in Egypt. This is an evidence that Sunni Islam is a fake Islam and the world governments should ban Sunni Islam. Shi'a is the correct Path of Islam.
44. German politicians decided to make Europe strong, rather to be support by Trump's military and paying 2% of their money. Germany is not going to follow USA any more.
45. Dajjal Sunni soldiers [ISIS] attacked Shi'a Iranian parliament and killed 7 people there.
46. "Dajjal Sunni ISIS" Soldiers of Saudi Arabia in Iran killed and wounded 54 people in the parliament house in Tehran including admin staff, and poor cleaning staff. Again an evidence that Saudi Arabian coalition is Dajjal and Anti-Christ. Saudi Arabians hate Shi'a Muslims and Protestants of UK.
47. "Anti-Christ" soldiers tried a controlled explosion near American Embassy in London. London is the most dangerous city in the world with many terror attacks this year.
48. AU. Khamenei, Iranian leader [Scholar] says Dajjal Terrorists who were trying to assassinate him in Iranian Parliament suffered from Iran's fight in Syria and Yemen. However He is braver than what they think and Iranian revolution would continue fighting with ISIS Terrorist in Middle East. AU. Khamenei is a Shi'a Muslim unlike Saudi Arabia that is a Sunni Muslim country by majority.
49. Dajjal [Anti-Christ] ISIS has not attacked any of United Arab countries [Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrein, Jordan, etc.], so far, but has Attacked Syria, Iraq, Yemen,Afghanistan, Germany, France, USA and UK. This is a proof that Saudi Arabia is involved in ISIS management.
50. Many innocent people were bombed and stabbed in London as a result of Anti-Christ Saudi Arabian Backed ISIS [Faked sect in Islam] Saudi footballers reject to respect silent moment for the martyrs in London!
51. Dajjal terrorists [ISIS] were identified to be 5 in "parliament and the grave", but a network of 41 were found in Iran following Sunni sect [Wahhabi, based in Saudi Arabia] based in Western border of Iran with Iraq.
52. Dajjal Sunnis in Arabia plan to bomb Iran backed by USA
53. Anti-Christ [Dajal] or ISIS has got power all over the world even among those companies who sell fire hazard cladding for high rise building.
54. S. Arabia is main sponsor of global terrorism: Irish sociologist
55. Germany, France, Russia and Iran argue over sources of Energy kind, an Energy war is due on Trump's deadline
56. Anger is from Satan, and when leaders of the world with nuclear capability become angry, risk of nuclear bombing increases. Apocalypse believers think the dooms day is the minute the most powerful leaders of the world switch on their bombs! However Muslims are waiting for the Dajjal [Anti-Christ] before coming of the Mahdi. It is the minute three religions of the world Jewish, Christians and Muslims tie their knot for the believe in Anti-Christ [Dajal]. It might be the nuclear power is Anti-Christ, as Jesus and Muhammad both hated Satan!
57. Anti-Christ can be an anger in neighbourhood of Russia and Britain, as the UK Military man assumed, the anger which destroys the infrastructure of the Britain, caused by Russia, but Putin denies it!
58. Christians believe planet Earth would be hit by another planet on 23rd April 2018 and the Earth would be destroyed. Also they believe in Anti-Christ coming at that time.
One of the signs of the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (as), is the coming of a creature gone astray that misleads others by the name of “Dajjal”. In Arabic, any liar can be called dajjal. There are many unusual descriptions about him, but since these descriptions are mostly found in the sources of our Sunni brothers and the hadiths containing these descriptions aren’t ones that can be depended on because of their weak chains of narrators, these hadiths are unreliable.
His role in misleading others is so important that it warns us to be aware of all things that might contribute to our misguidance.
Is he human? Is he technology? Is he the devil himself? Or is he/it something else other than these? There are different viewpoints on the answer to this question. Our advice is for all to refrain from anything that might lead to one’s misguidance and for no one to be of his adherents so that we never become one of his helpers and followers and of those deceived by him!
One of the signs of the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (as)[1] is the coming of the “Dajjal”. According to Arabic literature experts, any liar and trickster can be called a dajjal.
Different unusual traits have been related to him in hadiths (in which are mostly found in Sunni sources), namely: he falsely claims his lordship[2], is high in age[3], along with him is fire and water[4], he cures the blind and those suffering from leprosy[5].
The commander of the faithful, Imam Ali (as) was busy delivering a sermon when he repeated three times: “Ask me (all that you need) before you lose me.” A righteous individual by the name of Sa’sa’ah ibn Sawhan stood up and asked: “Oh commander of the faithful! Who is the Dajjal?”
In response to this question, Imam Ali (as) replied: “Be aware that the (name) of the dajjal is Sa’ed ibnul-Sa’ed. The unfortunate one is he who acknowledges and accepts him, and the fortunate being the one who rejects him. He will emerge from a place called “Isbahan”, from an area which is known to be the area of the Jews. His right eye is shut, bearing no eyeball.
His other eye is in his forehead, shining so brightly that it resembles the morning star in brightness. In his eye there is a piece of meat that seems to have mixed with some blood and on his forehead, in between the two eyes, it has been written “Kafir” in a way that every literate and illiterate person can read. He travels over the oceans and the sun accompanies him. In front of him, there is a mountain of smoke and behind him there is a white one that people perceive to be food. He will appear during a very hard drought. He will be riding a dark or green donkey. Every step this donkey takes is equal to one mil (mile). He will travel and go here and there on earth. Every water source or spring that he crosses will turn and remain dry till the Day of Judgment. He will shout with a voice heard by all in the East and the West saying: “Come to me, Oh friends and followers of mine!” I (am a God) who has created, who has created the faces, has measured every persons portion (of sustenance), and is your guide. I am the exalted Lord!” He is a liar! He is Allah’s (swt) enemy...and in the end he will eventually be killed by the one Isa (pbuh) prays behind (Imam Mahdi (as))”.[6]
As for who the dajjal really is, one can't reach a definite conclusion, but in a nutshell, it can be said there are several possibilities regarding this matter:
1) The dajjal is a true person that does extraordinary things using witchcraft and magic that will appear at the end of time. He will be the head of a great trouble-making that will take place for all of mankind. As the literal meaning of dajjal suggests, he is a user of witchcraft and a trouble-making individual with many materialistic facilities and capabilities. Some hadiths name him “the messiah of misguidance” which is the opposite of “the messiah of guidance”, meaning Prophet Isa (pbuh).
During the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (as), he will begin to work against him. He is of those who have long lives and is and will remain alive until the day he appears. He will take over the whole world expect for Makkah and Madinah.[7]
2) Iblis or Satan is the dajjal.
3) The Sufyani is the dajjal.
4) The dajjal has a symbolic and secret side to it (and isn't a true person):
“The dajjal symbolizes the highest levels of civilization, culture and Western technology that are in conflict with Islam and its principles; a culture that tries to conquer and enslave all. We can clearly see today how the West’s materialist culture and technology has taken over all societies today, even Muslim ones…”[8]

[1] Of course this sign has been counted as one of the signs of the Day of Judgement (Sunan Tirmidi,vol.4, pp.507-519; Sunan Abi-Dawud, vol.4, pg.115; Sahih Muslim, vol.18, pp.46 and 81), yet in Shia hadith sources it has been counted as one of the signs of the nearness of the Day of Judgment (Biharul-Anwar, vol.6, pg.296, chapter 1 (The signs of the hour (Day of Judgment) and the story of Ya’juj) and also the signs of the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (as). There is no problem in this sign being both the sign of the Day of Judgment and the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (as), because his reappearance is one of the signs of the end of time and the Day of Judgment.

In some hadiths it has been stated that he will eventually be killed by Prophet Isa (pbuh) (Biharul-Anwar, vol.14, pg.348, chapter 24) or it has been stated that he will be killed by Prophet Isa (pbuh) at a gate in Sham.

Of course, there is no conflict between these two statements that Prophet Isa (pbuh) is one of those who takes orders from Imam Mahdi (as) and one can relate the doing of a soldier to his commander.

- Opposes the Christ, God’s Anointed One.--Psalm 2:1, 2; Luke 11:23.
- Pretends to be the Christ.--Matthew 24:24.
- Persecutes the followers of Christ, since Jesus views what is done to them as being done to him.--Acts 9:5.
- Falsely claims to be a Christian while practicing lawlessness or deception.--Matthew 7:22, 23; 2 Corinthians 11:13.
How to identify antichrists
- They promote false ideas related to Jesus. (Matthew 24:9, 11) For example, those who teach the Trinity or that Jesus is Almighty God actually oppose the teachings of Jesus, who said: “The Father is greater than I am.”--John 14:28.
- Antichrists reject what Jesus said about how God’s Kingdom operates. For instance, some religious leaders say that Christ works through human governments. Yet, this teaching contradicts Jesus, who said: “My Kingdom is no part of this world.”--John 18:36.
- They say that Jesus is their Lord, but they do not obey his commands, including the one to preach the good news of the Kingdom.--Matthew 28:19, 20; Luke 6:46; Acts 10:42.
