Reports on the Dajjal
This course will be a 5-week exploration of the subject of the Dajjal, primarily grounded in Hafiz ‘Abd al-Ghani ibn ‘Abd al-Wahid al-Maqdisi's Akhbar al-Dajjal.
Discussion of the Dajjal, or Antichrist, can be challenging, confusing, and even bewildering. At the same time, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ strongly encouraged the Muslims to discuss the Dajjal and to warn one another about his deceptions.
With these issues in mind, the goal of this course will be to provide clarity on the subject of the Dajjal. The 107 hadith collected in al-Maqdisi's text will serve as the main reading for the course, helping to focus the class discussion on what is firmly established in the traditional sources.
Students can expect to gain much greater clarity on issues related to the Dajjal, which in turn may help us to warn our families, communities, and those close to us about this great trial and its dangers, and to take appropriate steps to protect our faith and the faith of our loved ones.
