Why the Anti-Christ (Dajjal)? Concept is problematic in Islam - Mufti Abu Layth al-Maliki

Feroze has asked a question do you believe in that jar you know this is an interesting question because this question is built upon a presupposed belief okay it's interesting because it's built upon a presupposition okay because you are asking about something already having a belief construct whereas if I gave you a word of something that you've never heard of let's say or if I just gave your term let's say you have heard of it but it's

something like if I say the do you believe in the embezzler somebody who embezzled or do you believe in the like what are we talking about or do you believe in so you see when you say the jar you you're not starting from Ground Zero you're starting with beliefs that you already carry I've told people before that gel as the Antichrist is a myth does not exist in Islam the word that gel does come in several hadith

they all the the hadith that it comes in you've got now how do you look at these hadith I've told you before this ties into the topic of Jesus is second coming the Mahdi and this Antichrist if that's what you want the term to mean at the gel because the gel it means deceiver it could be referring generally because in some hadith it comes on its own my approach to this is any of these hadith that are linked to each other are all unacceptable and that is clear so there

is no Antichrist that is coming that he's got this kind of devil child that is gonna come and try people and that is absurd that God would test people like that because that you see that is to call God an unreasonable God and the kind of sadist a sadistic kind of the god of the old testament kind of this sadistic so basically Allah never gives you proof to believe in him but he he told you to just believe in him based on reason and perception and look around him but then he sends a devil child which has immense

powers of defying the laws of nature and bringing the dead back to life and basically giving you proof so God tells you go look in the earth and look for proof about me and then he sends the devil child who will have shown you proof and then if you follow that proof you get done that has to be the most absurd that has to be the most absurd suggestion that Allah is gonna say to you look follow me based on proof that's

like I say to you right okay right somebody's gonna come to you and they're gonna tell you that they're from me and if they tell you to go with them go with them and then somebody comes and they take you and then I say ah but why did you go you were supposed to know that that was a test so this is absurd right you're supposed to believe based on your evidences then God sends a devil child who has all these evidences and then but if you follow the perception what you're actually seeing seeing is believing

they're para crear and espagnole you know you seeing is believing so you see this you believe it and now you get punished for doing that that's that kind of a God is just a sadistic God who's just twing with people just trying to torture them it makes it completely clashes with the concept of ar-rahman and ar-rahim so no we don't believe in I don't believe in these kind of things you want to believe in them you can believe in them it doesn't bother me people out they believe in in the sub Getti monster and the bogeyman and it doesn't bother me what people

but no to me Allah is not this kind of sadistic God who kind of toys with people and tricks them and tries to trip them up and stuff like this right so that's not right okay somebody's posted a link I'll comment on that in a moment so and anybody who's trolling spamming they're gonna get blocked right so so that's as far as so the Dajjal if you have if you start from Ground Zero where you don't have a preconceived idea of the Antichrist you will then look at these hadith and

say well okay anything that's linked with Jesus and this and they problematic and I'll show that in the future when I do my course on the Jesus on the second coming of Jesus being false but the the Jaala hadith are either referring they're either referring to the Shaitaan in some narrations where Elijah where the Prophet has mentioned the term that John the imposter the deceiver who is the devil is the deceiver or maybe because I find that hadith interesting that a time will come every prophet warned his Ummah about this time with

deception the deceptive will be so powerful what is this deceptive and that's just my take I think maybe it's to do with that we are embarking on an age where the virtual is becoming imperceptible from the real and it's becoming more real than the real that's just my take I don't think but I don't say you have to take that you can just Chuck all of these happy thought or you can just consider those to do with the devil .

it's as simple as that
