Summary
The Dajjal is described as the greatest trial (fitnah) to occur at the end of time, and the Prophet SAW repeatedly warned his community to be wary of it. Linguistically, the name relates to the idea of covering, because he conceals the truth with falsehood and deception. The hadiths describe him as a human being with curly hair, defective in one eye and bearing the word kufr on his forehead. The Bayan Linnas also lists further questions such as where and when he appears, his place among the signs of the Hour and the outcome of his trial.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sebagaimana yang kita ketahui, Dajjal merupakan fitnah yang paling dahsyat yang akan berlaku di akhir zaman.
