The Dajjal And The Return of Jesus_ Yusuf Ibn Abdullah Ibn Yusuf Al Wabil

The Rebuttal to these Individuals & their Arguments
miracles of the Prophets - that they do not oppose Allah's
ways which He has set in His creation - is also said concerning
the miraculous feats of the Dajjal ( only) by way
of testing, trial and tribulation.
6. If we accept that the miraculous feats of the Dajjal are
in opposition to Allah's ways, which He has set in His
creation, then we say:
Certainly, extra-ordinary things will happen in the time
of the Dajjal. Great events will occur, signifying the end
of the world and the nearness of the Hour. So if his
appearance is in a time of trial and tribulations, which
Allah has Willed, then it is not to be said: Indeed Allah is
too Compassionate to His servants than to put them to
trial with Dajjal's miraculous feats, because He is the
Compassionate, the All-Aware. However, what is said
His Wisdom has necessitated that He tests the servants
by the Dajjal. And surely He has warned them and cautioned
them about him.
After (all) this, I consider that it is appropriate here to quote
what some of the distinguished scholars have said regarding affirming
the miraculous feats of the Dajjal; that they are true (and
real) which Allah shall make as a trial and a test for the servants.
Al-Qadi 'Iyaq. has said, 'These a(Jddith that Muslim and others
have mentioned regarding the incident of the Dajjal is a proof
for the way (Madhab) of the people of truth. About the credibility
of his existence, who is an actual individual, by whom Allah
will test His servants.
