The Reality of the Dajjal’s Supernatural Acts: Sorcery and Illusion, or Reality?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: Are the miracles performed by the Dajjal real, or are they sorcery and illusion?
Answer:
It is sorcery and illusion, yes, like the supernatural acts of sorcerers, the Dajjals, and magicians. Magicians bring about supernatural acts; there are satanic supernatural occurrences. What is going on in them?
By “supernatural acts” (kharaj) is meant things that go beyond the norm. If they occur through the hand of the Prophet, they are a prophetic miracle (mu'jizah). If they occur through the hand of a wali (close friend of Allah) or the awliya (close friends of Allah), they are a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person). If they occur through the hand of a disbeliever or a Satan, they are satanic supernatural acts with no reality. Supernatural acts come through the hands of sorcerers, but they are invalid. Satanic. And therefore... the Bata'ih...
The Bata'ih are a sect of the Sufis, a sect of the Sufis. Their leader was a Shaykh al-Islam from their order who claimed that they enter the Fire and walk on the Fire and it does not harm them. So Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah informed them and said, “Come, let us wash our feet in such-and-such, and I and you will enter.” They said, “No,” because they anoint their feet with a certain oil so that they do not feel the Fire when they walk on it. So he, may Allah have mercy on him, exposed them and humiliated them by exposing their ignorance. He said, “Come, I and you will wash our feet in such-and-such material, and then I and you will enter.” They said, “No.” So he defeated them by that, and it became clear that they were Rafi'i men, men of the Rafi'i order, men of the Bata'ih and the Rafi'i order, yes.
