End Game - Part 4

 

Dajjal’s trip to the Holy Lands

Hajj and Umrah are blessings from Allah. It gives us the opportunity to enter the Holy Lands and take from its huge blessings. Hajj and umrah take place in Makkah, but it is the norm to travel to Madinah as part of the journey to or from hajj and umrah. These places are sacred, so will Dajjal enter these places?

 Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “The False Messiah will come and he will be forbidden from entering the boundary of Medina. He will descend upon some of the salty barren areas around Medina. On that day, a man among the best of the people will say come out and say: I testify that you are the same impostor whom the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, told us about. The False Messiah will say: Do you all think if I killed you and brought you back to life, would you have any doubt in the matter? The man will say no. Then, he will kill the man and bring him back to life and the man will say when he is alive again: By Allah, I have never seen so clearly as I do today! The False Messiah will intend to kill him, for he has no authority over him.”  [Sahih Al-Bukhari]

Abu Bakra narrated: The Prophet ﷺ said, "The terror caused by Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal will not enter Medina and at that time Medina will have seven gates and there will be two angels at each gate guarding them." [Sahih al-Bukhari]

 Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Ad-Dajjal will come and encamp at a place close to Medina and then Medina will shake thrice whereupon every Kafir (disbeliever) and hypocrite will go out (of Medina) towards him." [Sahih Al-Bukhari]

 Dajjal will not be alone but will have a huge group of supporters. They will all make their way to Jerusalem. The question is “will Dajjal enter Jerusalem?”.

Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: The Dajjal would be followed by seventy thousand Jews of Isfahan wearing Persian shawls. [Muslim]

 What about the Arabs at that time?

Umm Sharik reported: I heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying: The people would run away from the Dajjal seeking shelter in the mountains. She said: Where would be the Arabs then in that day? He said: They would be small in number. [Muslim]

 Women going out to Dajjal

Imam Ahmad reports an authentic hadith in his Musnad: Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “The False Messiah will come upon this marsh of Marriqanat (near Medina). Most of those who go out to him will be women, until a man goes back to his wife, his mother, his daughter, his sister, and his aunt to shackle them tightly, fearing they would go out to him.”

 Banu Tameem

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) says, “I have loved the Banu Tamim since I heard Rasulullah ﷺ say three things about them. I heard him say, ‘They will be the strongest against Dajjal.’ When their zakah came, Rasulullah ﷺ said, ‘This is the zakah of our people.’ and ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) had a prisoner of war from their tribe and Nabi ﷺ told her, ‘Set her free for she is one of the descendants of Isma’il.'” [Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim]

 It may be good idea to make hijra to the Holy lands. However, the warning is clear that those who have hypocrisy or disbelief in their hearts, will be expelled. In any case, there may yet be more to understand.
