First: Al-Mawdoodee:
He said in his book Rasaa’il wa Masaa’il (pg. 57, 1351H Edition): “The Messenger of
Allaah used to think that the Dajjaal would appear during his time or close to his time.
However, 1350 years have passed on this speculation (from the Prophet), many long
centuries, and still the Dajjaal has not appeared. So this proves that his (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi
wa sallam) speculation was not correct!!” In the 1362H edition of the book, he added to
this, saying: “However, 1350 years have passed …and still the Dajjaal has not appeared.
So this is the reality.” This is a clear rejection of the advent of the Dajjaal, for which there
are many authentic ahaadeeth reported informing of his coming.
He also said (pg. 55): “It is confirmed that everything that has been reported in his
ahaadeeth concerning the Dajjaal was just the opinion and estimation of the Prophet
(sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), and that he had doubts over this issue.” Is this not a clear
rejection of the Dajjaal and a denial of the reports of the Messenger about whom Allaah
said:
“And he does not speak from his own desire, rather it is revelation that is revealed to
him.” [Surah An-Najm: 3-4]
