Shab-e-Juma Mubarak. In times to come, Al Kahf is the only protective shueld that may protect humanity of confusing questions, sinking depressions and exhaustive ambitions. Top FAQ on Dajjal (The King Deception) is whether he is a physical being or a concept? The answer is simple, if we exactly know who he is and what is his method of deception, then it would be an insult of his title. Secondly, if the details on his existence and appearance are not explicit then there is a logical reason to support this. He will be the greatest test humanity has ever seen. He will be granted powers to express his craft of deceit. Could he get powers at his own? No, no creature can have any powers unless The King of Heavens and Earth wishes to grant any amount of powers to anyone. So why Dajjal be granted such immense powers that even faithful will be tempted to accept him as super being as depicted in Hollywood movies of Superman, Batman and flimsy Bolywood stuff like 'Ra One' as 'The One'? Answer is simple, it will be the greatest test of the faithful. Situation would be so precarious that even the most pious and practicing may find it hard to stand their ground.
Now keep the sequence of Al Kahf's stories in view. First story revolves around the center pillar of Monotheism i.e Tauheed. And second is about materialism i.e dependency on material means instead of the Creator of these means. Humanity right now faces both challenges posed in first two stories of Al Kahf. Interestingly, when we start the next story, you will feel that it has a strong relationship with our times as well.
Bottom line, no one will escape this fitn of dajjal even if he is a physical being or a concept. Scribe believes its both. As concept the stage is being set. See how hard it has become to be people of pure Tauheed. Probably a Cave like Kahf remains our only option to live life as per Tauheed. Secondly, see how people shift Gods in given situations. In place of prayers they try to connect with invisible God and in real life they connect with visible god i.e money, profit, property etc. This hybrid model of faith is actually the preparation phase or conceptualization of dajjal.
Let's dicuss today's Ayah 33 which is continuation of previous Ayah 32. Couple of points to note are: all blessings (which we think are our material possessions) are granted to us. Nothing in our possession is ours. We have got it out of Allah's swt immense mercy and immaculate distribution system. He swt grants few people more than other to test Haves and Haves Not, more so, the Haves.
May Allah help us pass the test. Ameen
