The coming of the One-Eyed Dajjal A detailed article published in daily Pakistan explained how the Prophet PBUH had predicted the coming of One-Eyed Dajjal. He would [come] from the east of the house of Islam (possible meaning India) and would claim prophethood and godhead. He would possess great stores of food and would control rain, turn people blind and restore eyesight and turn the dead to living. He would be like Christ in miraculous powers but he would ride a donkey the distance between whose ears would be forty hands (wide-bodied aircraft) and âkefirâ would be written between his eyes. (Israel has named a plane thus). Dajjal would first attract Muslim women then Muslim men; and the Prophet PBUH predicted that a large part of the Muslim umma would convert in favour of Dajjal and would become very rich. Dajjal would be of wheatish complexion with curly hair without sight in his left eye. Dajjal would be able to go to all places in the world except Madina. Outside Madina he would be challenged by a virtuous man but Dajjal would tear him into two pieces only to make him alive again. But the pious man would deny Dajjal and will not be defeated by him. No one but Christ himself would kill Dajjal near the door of âLaddâ (This is a place called Lydde near Tel Aviv). The coming of Imam Mehdi According to daily Pakistan, the One-Eyed Dajjal would be opposed by Imam Mehdi who would arrive in Arabia but his armies would arise in Khurasan (Afghanistan) wearing black turbans. Imam Mehdi would not be able to kill the Dajjal because that would be done by Jesus Christ who would return to earth to do this. Saddamâs expensive sword Columnist K.M. Azam wrote in Nawa-e-Waqt that he slept on the night of 9 April 2003 and saw a dream. He saw that the people of Iraq had finished their ammunition fighting against the Americans and went down fighting with swords and lances. After the battle a woman found the sword called Rafideen still held in the hand of a handsome corpse that did not look dead. This was the sword that was made in Italy and was imported for Rs 50 lakh. He then saw that the world of Islam arose in anger at the death of Saddam Hussein and killed its dictators and pro-American rulers and the world rang with the cry marg bar America (Death to America).
