 About 50 years ago a movement was initiated called the Salafi Movement. The main characteristics of that movement were more emphasis on the religious text and a very literal interpretation of its meanings. An example of that is when the Messenger(saw) said, "The Dajjal will travel on a donkey, that will have its ears spread out and will fly with the speed of clouds". Now even a school boy would know this is talking about an aircraft. But the Salafis insist No! Its a Donkey.. So they are still waiting for a man who will come on a "flying donkey". And this is their approach in every socio-political matter. When one stubbornly insist on taking a literal interpretation in everything, much of the wisdom which is being said is lost. A literal view is not always the right view, because at the end of the day the Messenger (saw) did not tell us to take all of his sayings literally. An example of that is when he (saw) told the sahaba " not to pray Asr except in Banu Quraidah".

But when the Messenger (saw) said "On Dajjal's forehead will be written Ka Fa Ra and every believer will be able to read, whether he is KAATIB (literate) or GHAIR KAATIB (illiterate). But the disbeliever will not be able to see". One wonders why doesn't the disbeliever see that thing on his forehead. Keep in mind we live in the time of Google Translate, where no language is a barrier, but the illiterate believer can see it, even though he has no familiarity with alphabets. So we take the disbeliever to the Eye specialist. The eye specialist gives us a report, there is nothing wrong with his eyes, perfect vision. But then why can't he see. May be because these eyes on our face are not required to see it.

In the Quran Allah swt says "They have eyes but they do not see, they have ears but they do not hear".
Or the famous ayat "Summun Bukmun U'myun" (Deaf,dumb and blind are the disbelievers). Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab werent disabled. But then why does Allah Azawajal say they are deaf, dumb and blind. Because there are spiritual eyes with which we see the truth. There are spiritual ears with which we recognise the words of our Lord.

The Quran says, "It is not the eyes that are blind, but the hearts within the chest". Have we seen Allah? No. But we believe in Him. Have we seen Paradise and Hellfire? No !  But we believe in them. It is our spiritual side that gives witness that yes! this is the truth, even though our material/physical being does not see it. So we will not require these eyes with the lashes to recognise he is that greatest fitnah dajjal that our Messenger(saw) warned us about. But our Spiritual heart the one with which we discern right from wrong will identify him. Notice here the Prophet (saw) said a "mo'min" will recognise him. This is a higher level than a muslim. A muslim is one who fulfils the Five pillars of Islam, but a believer is one step ahead, not only does he fulfill his duties but his heart is content with absolute Belief in his Lord, the messengers, angels, divine books, paradise and hell and the divine pre ordainment.


The Prophet (saw) said," The dajjal will come with two things, a river and a fire. But his river will be a fire and his fire will be the cool waters of a river." Implying that the age of Dajjal will be one in which appearance and reality will be quite different.

Didnt he (saw) say that "In that time people will be sifted in two camps, the camp of Imaan and the camp of Nifaq (hypocrisy)" Right now everyone is living together under a veil. We cant see who is a true believer and who is a hypocrite, but when Dajjal is released, only the true believers will be able to identify and save themselves from his fitnah like the Young men of the cave in surah kahf. But the rest will be quite comfortable with his rule, like they are quite comfortable with the morally corrupt western supremacy over the world, which will take them straight to the hellfire.
