what is meant by the bolded part? how will this occur?

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]

Wasalaam,

Dajjal will stay on the earth for 40 days and the first day will be equal to of length of 1 year and the second day will be of 1 month and third day will be of 1 week and rest of the days will be as usual....as read in the book " Dajjal Kon Kab Kahan"

but what does it actually mean. in what sense will this happen? what can cause such a thing. how will it physically be possible? will it happen in a way that will go against the present laws of nature as we understand them?

[syncFisee]

I heard that the rotation of the earth will be stopped......

[Rffkwfct]

It might not be in a literal sense. It may be using "day" as along period of time, and thens tating one period of 1 year, 1 period of 1 month etc... Although, I'm not fluent in Arabic, so this is merely a laymans suggestion.

yes some people do say that it might not be literal. i dont understand arabic either but the english translation seems to suggest that the sahaba (rd) took the meaning to be literal hence their enquiry about how to pray salaat and the Prophet answer to calculate the time for prayers.

Walaikum assalam
I thought it means those part of earth where days are longer like that goes for months, that is polar region, Greenland, Norway, northern Finland. I think a normal day comprise of time of daylight and night. In some places there will be daylight for 6 months continuously and night for 6 months and so 1 year is like one day=daylight+night and in some regions, day light and night will extend for weeks and so on. In other regions, it will be like normal days, like Asia, middle east and so on. This is what I read somewhere. The sahabahs were concerned of prayers in such regions as normally the time of prayers is based on sun and the Prophet SAW replied what is given in the hadith Allahu alam.

[Ikrleprl]

just a thought.....

in the uk summertime we have a little problem with salaat timings. technically speaking maghrib doesnt end as there always remains the white light on the horizon and even sometimes the red light on the horizon. so i believe the ulama calculate the time as best as they can in order to set the time for isha.

[giturbewan]

Bismillahi
I think so in many regions of northern Europe too when we cant even see any darkness, ulema somehow calculate the time. I think the hadith means that the Dajjal will travel in different regions of the earth for 4o days. Allahu alam.

[illiderob]

what is meant by the bolded part? how will this occur?

There will be an actual day like a year, just like there be an actual day when the sun rises from the west.

how that will occur we can only speculate. My own thoughts on this are that cataclysmic events on a global scale will occur on earth that will alter the axis and rotation of the earth.

Perhaps the most likely contender for this is a SUPERQUAKE or a series of large earthquakes one after another in quick succession.

From the signs perhaps the most authentic signs of the arrival of the Mahdi are earthquakes and intense disputes:

''He will be sent at a time of intense disputes and differences among people and earthquakes.'' (Ahmad)

If we look at another two hadeeths that mention earthquakes we find that the Prophet s.a.w also linked time-or to be more particular- the length of the day to earthquakes:


Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The Hour (Last Day) will not be established until (religious) knowledge will be taken away (by the death of religious learned men), earthquakes will be very frequent, time will pass quickly, afflictions will appear, murders will increase and money will overflow amongst you." (Bukhari)

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established till two big groups fight each other whereupon there will be a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one and the same religious doctrine, till about thirty Dajjals (liars) appear, and each one of them will claim that he is Allah's Apostle, till the religious knowledge is taken away by the death of Religious scholars earthquakes will increase in number time will pass quickly, (Bukhari)

okay now to the interesting part, can earthquakes affect time, i.e increse or decrease the duration of the day on earth?

Quakes affect the earths axis and all the recent earthquakes have shortened the earths day and the earths axis.

Major natural catastrophes will hit the earth soon, an unparrelled famine before the arrival of the dajjal, death of all living things and animals, sudden death, a smoke that goes all round the earth, hot in winter cold in summer, inhabitated cities will become ruins, earthquakes earthquakes earthquakes....

All of these are signs and smyptoms of major catastrophes that will drastically alter life on earth and send us back to an era without modern technology.

When it comes to this particular subject in my opinion Imran Hosseins explanation is worth listening to.
Go to youtube and search for Imran Hossein's lecture on Dajjal.

[beckercpa]

what is meant by the bolded part? how will this occur?

Imam Nawawi rahimahullah has written that this hadith is that it will happen in reality. It's not metaphorical. Because Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said the rest of the days will be like your days.....

We must remember that Dajjal will use technology to do these things. Allah will not give him supernatural powers. Allah will not give him godly powers. All his miracles will be either technology or magic with the help of shayateen. He will be only able to bring back one dead person to life. He will hear about a muslim guy who will be against dajjal. He will catch him and bring him in front of him. Dajjal will ask him do you believe im God? He will say NO. Dajjal will kill him. Then he will bring him back to life. Then he will ask him again do you bellieve now. He will say no, now i'm more sure that you are dajjal and i'm the guy who is mentioned in Hadith. Then dajjal will catch him and lay him down and try to cut his neck. But his neck will become copper and he won't be able to cut it. So dajjal will throw him in fire. People will think its fire but infact it will be jannat for that guy.

Mufti Abu Lubaba hafizahullah has written in his book Dajjal, that the cern experiment is in fact a struggle towards total control of the world. They are trying to control the weather and the movement of the earth. They've already mastered the technology of weather control by using Haarp.

It's best to stay away from Imran Hossain's lectures on Dajjal. He has very strange views on the subject. He says something like America is dajjal and dajjal will not be a person, when it is clearly mentioned in ahadith that Dajjal is a specific person.

[ppfpooghn]

the phenomenon of dajjal will be deception by definition of his name and by design. nothing will be for real as it were, merely smoke and mirrors like a magician brings, albeit on a grander scale. the greatest magician of all WILL be dajjal.

if one thinks along these lines, then the physical control of the world's rotation in my humble opinion would not be possible for this magician.

when we think of time, in essence it really describes distance. for example, an hour in a person's mind encapsulates all they'll do within the hour, or the distance between locations. how far is manchester to birmingham? a time is given but it really describes the distance; the physical quantity.

think of it another way; when awliya have karamat that allows them to pray the entire Quran between Asr and Magrib, time hasn't changed at all. the physical rotation of the earth hasn't changed. however, time for them has been stretched and those observing, that it feels like hours have passed yet it's only been an hour.

similarly, a day like a month could mean the feats that this magician will achieve not through barakat like the awliya, but deception, which would take a year or years to achieve yet he'll achieve in a day. the people of this world observing these feats where he travels from street to street will seem like an age because of being pre-occupied by his bag of tricks. people will ask "how long has this been, him going from a to b to c etc?" to which people will reply "i don't know but it feels like a year".

the day won't have physically been like a year but the things achieved by this magician will make it seem like it's been a year on his first day....

either way, it'll be a crazy time and everyone should pray Surah Kahf regularly on Jummah not to fall for his deception. Allah save the whole of mankind.

Allah SWT knows best.

but you forget about the Prophet instructing us to calculate the salaat times when the sahaba (rd) enquired about this thus indicating that time will be physically altered somehow.

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?

[illiderob]

The prophet s.a.w compares two units of time together, a day and a year. Then when asked about the duty of salah on that long day he tells us to calculate. Why? Becuase theres no consecutive day and night order for that long day, it will be daylight for 365 days. And God knows best

i catch your drift bro, and my point is in line with what you said above. prayers will carry on as normal, because it will feel like a year and therefore one years worth of prayers will be performed on that first "day"....

thus prayer times will be calculated based on what has been perceived to have passed....

yes, absolutely the world could just stop rotating for a day, but my illiterate position is based on ahadeeth that mention his physical ability to carry food and water with him as insignificant. when Sahaba asked our beloved prophet pbuh about his ability to carry food and water with him, he replied that dajjal is much more insignifcant in the eyes of Allah SWT. this for me means that he has no physical ability, just deception. similarly, his jahannam and jannat being the opposite of each other. so, can he affect the world's rotational pull etc? on this basis, no.

key word: deception
