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 feats of sorcerers and false prophets. The sorcerers bring about supernatural feats; they bring about satanic supernatural feats. They have no reality. The term "supernatural feats" refers to things that go beyond the norm. If such things occur at the hand of a Prophet, they are a prophetic miracle; if they occur at the hand of a wali (close friend of Allah) from among the awliya (close friends of Allah), they are a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person); and if they occur at the hand of a disbeliever or a Shaytan, they are satanic supernatural feats with no reality.
Supernatural feats occur at the hands of sorcerers and fortune-tellers, but they are invalid. They are satanic. And therefore, the Bata'ihiyyah. The Bata'ihiyyah are a sect of the Sufis, a sect of the Sufis.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah debated them. They claim that they enter the fire and walk on the fire without it harming them. So Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah debated them, and they said, "Come, let us wash our feet with such and such, and I will enter with you." They said, "No," because they anoint their feet with substances; they anoint their feet with ointments so that they do not feel the fire when they walk on it. So he, may Allah have mercy on him, stopped them and exposed their falsehood and their deception. He said, "Come, you and I will wash our feet with such and such a substance, and then I and you will enter." They said, "No." So he defeated them by that, and it became clear that they were false prophets. The Rifa'iyyah. He mentioned the Rifa'iyyah. He mentioned the Bata'ihiyyah and the Rifa'iyyah. Yes.
