it says like a year, doesn't say "will be a year" which could support the argument in favour of a deceptive effect.

the time of dajjal will be of utmost confusion. so because of it feeling like a year due to the amount of things he's achieving in such a small period of time, people could argue over how long his first day actually is. some will say months, some weeks, some a year....

if people know that the time between say zohar and asr feels like it's been elapsed then of course people will calculate the time and hence perform Salah. this will carry on in between the Salah intervals and people will continue to offer Salah whilst the magic is still going on making it feel like time is being stretched. in other words, life goes on as normal for the mu'mins whilst the deceived marvel at the dajjal street magic show...

dajjal will want to stretch the time so people delay performing Salah.

The Sahabah (radi Allahu anhum) asked Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) about the Dajjal, “O Messenger of Allah, how long will he stay on earth?” He replied, “Forty days; a day like a year, a day like a month, a day like a week, and the rest of the days like your days.” The Sahabah asked, “O Messenger of Allah, on that day which is like a year, will the Salat (prayers) of one day be sufficient for us?” Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) replied, “No. Calculate the time (for prayer).” [Sahih Muslim]

the sahaba (rd) asked if the salaat of one day (i.e 5 salaat) will suffice for the day that is like a year. why would they ask that? is it because that day which is like a year will have one sunrise and one sunset but the normal 24 hour period will be elongated into 12 months?

and the Prophet

replied that it will not suffice. i.e 5 prayers in that day that is like a year will not suffice.....and then instructed the sahaba (rd) to calculate the time for prayer. so if 5 prayers will not suffice in that day which is like a year then that indicates that more than 5 prayers will have to be prayed. which means that the period will definately be longer than 24 hours as there is only 5 prayers in 24 hours but the sahaba (rd) were instructed to pray more than 5.

you catch ma drift?
