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

The Rebuttal to these Individuals & their Arguments
al-I:{iifi? ibn I:-Iajr says: 'Also, it is found in the Dajjal a clear
proof about his falsehood for one who understands, and that is
he is made up of created organs and limbs. The effect of being
created is clearly evident in him and at the same time he will
have impairment: by having a defect in both of his eyes. So when
he calls to the people that he is their Lord: Then the worst state
of one who sees him and he is from those who have understanding,
is that he will know, (that if he is the lord of the heavens
and earth then) he would not wish to proportionize the physical
creation of anybody, besides himself, nor balance it, or beautify
it and not be able to remove the blemishes and defects from
himself.' 9
So the least what is required for him to say is: 'O you who
claim that you are the Creator of the heavens and the earth! Firstly
fashion and amend yourself and remove from it your bodily defects.
And if you claim that the Creator does not create anything
within himself, then (at least) remove what is written between
your eyes.' 10

What the Imam is intending is that the Dajjal, ifhe is the Lord of the heavens
and earth, then he would not create man in the best of proportions - beautify
and balance him, as Allah the Most High says,
'Indeed we have created man in the best of stature and mould.' [Surah al­
Tin: 4]
and His saying, ' ... and have preferred them above many of those whom
We have created with a marked preference.' [Surah al-Isrti': 70]
and also His saying, 'Then he fashioned him in due proportion ... ' [Surah al­
Sa;dah: 9].
And then, not be able to remove the blemishes and defects from himself
which consequently proves the futility of his claim. TN
