The name is Arabic derived and it should be spelled as Al-Dajjal and not Ad-Dajjal. Ad-Dajjal is an absolute wrong pronunciation for the name. The name in Arabic is الدجال , first letters are A and L which compares to "The" in English. Then دجال which consist of D, G, A, L. Pronounced Dajjal. The first A and L would make it equivalent to "The Dajjal" , the Arabic equivalent of Al-Dajjal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.39.159 (talk) 02:32, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• There are different accepted ways to transliterate Arabic. The Arabic definite article or lam taʿrīf is assimilated before so-called 'solar consonants', that is dentals and alveolars. Hence

the pronunciation is actually ad-daǧǧāl. However, to more easily identify the morphology of the word, some transcribers prefer to always write the def. article as al-.--Simha (talk) 13:01, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should be unified throughout the article. Either dajjal or daǧǧāl, the latter is preferable. Especially the eschatology section is a mess. Mistakes include grammar "ḥadīth ... give". Ḥadīth is singular, so *gives* or use the plural, either anglicized as ḥadīths or Arabic aḥadīth. Length is sometimes indicated as in nūrī, sometimes not as in kafir read kāfir etc.--Simha (talk) 13:01, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, that's two unfinished, completely different sentences put together; and second of all, the reference is not an actual reference with a little number you can click on, it's just the name of the source, the page number, and "</ref>". I looked through the revision history, and nobody vandalized it or accidentally deleted a part of it, that's exactly how it was written in the first place!

Dear Colleague,

Title Revision Needed, the meaning of dajjal and anti christ is the same deceiveful and liar, also the false phrophet in the end of times, they will come out with some sign like red blood moons, for false phrophet deceive some people in Matthew 7:15“Watch out for false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are voracious wolves the false phrophet use their miracle created from 3 evil frog spirit

Then 1 I saw three unclean spirits 2 that looked like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

i hope this will clear the main title for the god sake, ^^ i believe the word should be false messiah Dajjal or Anti Christ Dajjal i wanted to help you with the content about al masih, dajjal is not al masih he is false messiah. i suppose the one think for sure is false messiah the al masih title is only for one and only for "isa" al masih or Jesus Christ.

i hope you can change the al masih title from "al masih ad dajjal" thats not the correct meaning kinda miss leading. and thanks for change the picture regard's Daniel 8 about the anti christ, daniel got the vision mentioning about the anti christ.

False Prophet The deceiver false prophet.

Dajjal doesnt mention in quran but i believe he / she and the follower doesnt believe about the holy bible gave from god messenger torah, zabur, gospel and quran he also a disbelieve in allah الله ( adonai ) and all the prohet, in this time today god has send us plague as in the bible Psalms 91:6 Luke 21:11 and quran Al kahfi ( adonai send his messenger and trial to all mankind ) to warn the mankind neglect and reject the 7 sin "lust, Conscious ( mind "suudzon" ) not gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride" also the 8 sin "our word as the 8 deadliest sin Matthew 15:11 our word is the fatal one like 2 headed sword. also dajjal cant read and understand holy bible also koran and he doesnt believe end of time and judgement day,

also dajjal want to be worship also famous and wanna be equal as adonai ( الله )

https://alkitab.sabda.org/verse.php?book=42&chapter=21&verse=11 https://alkitab.sabda.org/verse.php?book=42&chapter=21&verse=8 He 1 said, “Watch out that you are not misled. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ 3 and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them! "because they will got trial from god himself and prophet adonai ( الله ) so in the time like this we must watch out for the false prophet. and keep guidance from the holy book

This section is controversial. Ahmadiya beliefs are fundamentally opposed by both Sunnis and Shia scholars as the belief in Islam is the belief that God is One and Mohammed is the messenger. It's classed as seperate religion, just like Bahai's who also believe in a prophet after Muhammad PBUH. The Ahmadiya founders claim to being a Prophet & Messiah both go against Islamic foundations. I'd suggest a seperate page for it so as not to mix up the beliefs. Alif2020 (talk) 01:23, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is the page about the general topic of Al-Masih ad-Dajjal, regardless of who writes about it. If a Hindu decides to start a new sect that is otherwise Hinduism but incorporates the idea of Al-Masih ad-Dajjal into their cosmology, and it becomes noteworthy, it would be included here.

The only reason to split this into separate topics would be if a particular sect's specific beliefs about Al-Masih ad-Dajjal were

notable on their own

Just because you don't like Ahmadiya isn't a reason to do anything. Ian.thomson (talk) 02:41, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply

It's not about me not liking Ahmadiyaa. Their views are entirely different e.g. they claim Mirza was a messiah, that doesn't align with Islam since the messiahs coming was meant to bring peace etc to the world. They don't beleive in Dajjal as we do. Their views differ to the extent that it would make sense to have a separate page.Alif2020 (talk) 12:14, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because of this: Sorry, when I mislinked it in my edit summary.

WP:ISLAM. Remember what Wikipedia is Neutral, this means, we do not have special rules for each project and do not promote specific religious ideas. The existence of a Quranic verse or a hadith, does neither prove that Muslims believe, nor does it say anything about historicity. Further, the primary language here is English. Other languages should only be used if the source is not available in English. Remember, we do not do our own research about a certain topic, we just bring together what reseachers, academics scientists found out. We are not the researches ourselves, though many Wikipedians might also be academics. But this is coincidence, when. I saw you readded your content.

Hello there, dear QuaMbear. I think you will find it interesting to note that the title is not al-Masih but rather al-Masih ad-Dajjal in order to convey the meaning as described in the article - which does not mean the Messiah but rather the fake, deceiver Messiah which is Dajjal. The two are clearly differentiated between in the ahadis and are not being made equal to each other. In order to address your concern regarding possible confusions, which I am sympathetic to as well, there is a system of adding a warning notice at the top of the article which tells people that the article is not to be confused with al-Masih (the Messiah). Perhaps someone more experienced will take note of this and implement such a warning. - Sultan.abdullah.hindi (talk) 09:25, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for replying, i just wondering why still using the title "al masih" because its not appropriate, if you wanna describe about dajjal, keep it simple. its hurting me as religious person, best regards. the context is about false hood and imposter, the deceiver. not messiah / al masih. also dajjal wanna be god or allah thats why he got the the name dajjal thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuaMbear (talk • contribs) 13:22, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @QuaMbear: I think that you are misunderstanding this matter. ABC is not the same as ABD. As I have attempted to explain before, the term Dajjal implies a meaning similar to 'a great deceiver'. In arabi, it can be used for charlatan and deceiving people as well and not just al-Masih ad-Dajjal. The title al-Masih ad-Dajjal is not about al-Masih 'Isa ibn Maryam 'alaihis-salam but it is used to denote that this being will be a deceiver messiah who will claim to be the actual messiah first and then later on, he will claim to be God. Al-Masih is not a proper noun only to be used for 'Isa 'alaihis-salam. There is nothing to be worried about. Kindly read through the first parts of the article for a better explanation. Best regards - Sultan.abdullah.hindi (talk) 07:05, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear User:VenusFeuerFalle, I have introduced this new section in order to discuss the recent reversion of an an edit of mine by yourself.

You said: We can not use a Q&A webpage as a source, since every Muslim scholar can interpretate a hadith differently. ALso, it seems not, that Dajjal and Isa are easily confused, just because the term "Masih" appears within the title.

Even though I did attach a note to the re-reversion, I would like to elaborate on my points here. It is simply not any Q and A page but rather one by a scholar of Islam and scholarly opinions in Islam is not subject to such a degree of whim that it can be interpreted differently by every scholar. It is limited by the evidence, the actions of the first three generations on the evidence, the principles of scholarly assessment, the rules of linguistics, the chains of transmission and the license to transmit. I see that answer to be a wholistic assessment that builds on the past in the sense that it takes the opinions of many scholars of the past and produces a condensed clear-cut summary. One can argue about the subjectivity in the interpretation for any literary text in the world but that alone cannot change academic establishments. Also, regarding the second part of the matter, we must remember that wikipedia has users of various age ranges incl. kids who could confuse The Messiah or al-Masih with al-Masih ad-Dajjal. I hope that you will sympathize with at least this last part that we must consider the variety of users and their age range.

" It is simply not any Q and A page but rather one by a scholar of Islam and scholarly opinions in Islam is not subject to such a degree of whim that it can be interpreted differently by every scholar. It is limited by the evidence, the actions of the first three generations on the evidence, the principles of scholarly assessment, the rules of linguistics, the chains of transmission and the license to trasmit." It is methodically impossible to equal a 1400 years old tradition and every researcher on Islamic studies will probably agree with that. The idea of "following the first generations of Muslims" is ideologically motivated and refererred to as (in socialogically studies) Salafism. Similarities among such decrees provided by various Shaikhs around the internet are not due to a unequivocally and reliable method, but because of their ideological motivation. This is proven by the fact, whose scholars often contradict much of the exegetical nature, methods and results of earlier scholars. Such deviate views are especially prevailent among the supernatural and spiritual, the Dajjal included. I am not even saying this scholar is wrong, he might even be correct and have been more carefully in his exegesis than most of the other scholars on the internet, but this is our own subjective opinnion. We can not let such subjective judgments rule out, which scholars we trust and which not. Sources for religious ideas, should never be supported by a religious scholar themselves. An Evangelical preacher for example, should not be cited in exegetical matters for the Old Testament (the results will be arbitary). I sincery hope, you find someone who has done research about this interpretation, and can cite him. If your sources is authentic and imbedded within Muslim Tradition as much as you said, there will probably an author who has written about Muslim Eschatology, who mentions this. WIth best regards,--VenusFeuerFalle (talk) 21:24, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear, VenusFeuerFalle. I appreciate your response and the explanation and I will try my best to provide more reliable citations in order to support this, in shaa ALLAH . There seems to be a misunderstanding here on various matters but specifically of Salafism and Islam itself and about myself. It should be noted before continuing that I'm a Maturidi Hanafi, am aware of Salafism and am not a Salafi or an Athari Hanbali influenced by the Salafiyyah or the Najdi Dawah.

It is established in Sunni Islamic Discourse (especifically in Fiqh) for an extremely long time, much before Salafiyyah and the Najdi dawah, that the Hujjah (Evidence) is the Qur'an, the Sunnah (not the Hadith alone), the Ijma'a of the Sahabah (there is disagreement over whether the Ijma'a of the Tabi'i is acceptable) and Qiyas (over which there are disagreements as well) - most of which is recorded in Arabi (and thus, the principles of scholarly assessment and the rules of linguistics will undoubtedly become relevant). So, no, it is not as subjective or arbitrary as it may seem from the outside. Whom we trust is limited by the chains of transmission, the license to transmit and endorsements from other scholars. Evangelical preachers are 'not' equivalent to Christian theologians, the latter being qualified to comment on a matter, and lay Muslims are not the equivalent of Sunni Islami scholars.

Let us face it, given the evidence is as has been established before, people from outside the academia are undoubtedly not better qualified or equipped to comment on it. Trying to attack this natural hierarchy of knowledge and experience in the guise of progressivism often ends up being similar to what the anti-vaxxers do to actual researchers and scientists. Furthermore, even if it was indeed that subjective, how is the assessment of scholars not of this field any less arbitrary given that they don't even have the proper education in this field? We should remember that scholars outside of a field are not much better off than the layman in terms of their understanding even if they do have the tools of education.

Thus, responding to "It is limited by the evidence, the actions of the first three generations on the evidence, the principles of scholarly assessment, the rules of linguistics, the chains of transmission and the license to transmit." with "is ideologically motivated and refererred to as (in socialogically studies) Salafism." seems to be a case of gross misidentification. Hadithanswers.com is not Islamqa.info. The former is run by traditional Sunni scholars whilst the latter is run by Salafi scholars and the former does not have a Salafist ideological motivation behind it. I do agree that Salafi scholars often contradict the established codes in Sunni Islami Academia, esp. in matters of jurisprudential theory.
