What is the difference between the Dajjal and the other disbelievers, given that Allah the Exalted has decreed that for them, so why are they held accountable?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner is asking about the Dajjal. There are many hadiths about the Dajjal, meaning about his actions?
One of the attendees: ... Three points come to mind right now:
The first point is the difference between the Dajjal and the other disobedient disbelievers, in that the questioner who asked is making an excuse based on divine decree. Allah the Glorious and Exalted has decreed disbelief upon the disbeliever because of His prior knowledge that he will disbelieve. Likewise, this applies to the Dajjal: Allah the Glorious and Exalted knew from his condition that he would disbelieve, so He decreed this task upon him. This is one aspect of the answer to our Shaykh. The other aspect concerns the miracles granted to the Dajjal. It is said to this questioner that Allah gave the Dajjal the miracle of bringing down rain, and any miracle given to a specific person is something he can utilize by his own will, either for good or for evil, either for the obedience of Allah the Glorious and Exalted or for the disobedience of Allah the Glorious and Exalted. The Dajjal did not utilize it except to turn people away from the path of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He. Therefore, he is held accountable.

One of the attendees: ... The second point, when you mentioned the issue of bringing down rain, we say this is by his choice and he is not forced to do it. And the third point is that these miracles are used either in the disobedience of Allah or in the obedience of Allah.
The questioner : ... Your opinion on the topic ... .
