Masih ad-Dajjal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Masih ad-Dajjal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:Al-Masih ad-Dajjal (Arabic: المسيح الدجّال‎ Al-Masīḥ ad-Dajjāl, "the false messiah"), is an evil figure in Islamic eschatology.^[1] He is to appear pretending to be the Masih (i.e. the Messiah) at a time in the future, before Yawm al-Qiyamah (Day of Resurrection), and is the Antichrist and comparable to Armilus in Christian and Jewish eschatology, respectively.



 Dajjāl is an adjective of Syriac origin.[2] It is also a common Arabic word (دجال) whose root is dajl meaning "lie" or "deception". Al-Masīḥ ad-Dajjāl, with the definite article al- ("the"), refers to "the deceiving Messiah", a specific end-of times deceiver. The Dajjāl is an evil being who will seek to impersonate the true Messiah.





Being a very deep language, the name Dajjal also is rooted in an arabic word dajel, which means to gold plate or coat in gold.



The following signs are ascribed to Ali in the coming of Dajjal:^[7]
