#dajjal

Ad Dajjal has one eye ONLY 👁️. Allegorically it's an eye of injustice, lies, hypocrisy, corruption, killings, murder, genocide, fascism, loot, dictatorship, riba, racism, ethnic cleansing, terrorism, war crimes, immorality, rape, molestation, p0rn, Taghutism, human trafficking, money hoarding etc. There are more if we elaborately look into his fitnah.

It stirred, shook and trembled me when I found this CREATURE will have one eye only, this one, the eye of horrible inhumanity and human rights violations and more.

The concept of the Dajjal (the Antichrist) is an important part of Islamic eschatology. Among the various signs associated with the appearance of the Dajjal, his eye is particularly significant. This blog will explore the characteristics of the Dajjal’s eye as described in Islamic texts, what different Islamic schools of thought (madhabs) say about it, and some of the less relevant ideas surrounding this topic.

In several hadiths, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) described the Dajjal as having a distinctive eye. Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim both contain descriptions of the Dajjal’s eye.
