DAJJAAL THE FALSITY OF HIS CLAIM TO LORDSHIP

With all the descriptions (i.e. the shortcomings) that we have given about the Dajjaal, it shows that he will be a weak creature. Then how can somebody with all these descriptions now be Allaah the Creator of the heavens and the earth and all that exists between them?

Allaah Is Invisible

One of the things that shows the falsity of his claim to Lordship over mankind is that he will be seen but we can not see Allaah until the day of Judgement. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

"Know that no one among you will see his Lord until he dies."(Muslim)

His Deformities

We also know that he will be blind in one his of eyes. This attribute cannot be for Allaah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

"Allaah cannot be confused .with anyone else. Allaah is not one- eyed, - and he pointed to his eyes with his hand "but the Dajjaal will be blind in his right eye, as if his eye is a floating grape ." (Bukhari)

Another of his defective attributes is that he will be afhaj (will walk with his toes turned in), i.e., his calves or his thighs will be too far apart. Or it is said that this means pigeon-toed with the heels too far apart, or that the legs are somewhat crooked. (Fath al-Baari)

Ibn al-Arabi said: From the various defective attributes of the Dajjaal it is clear that he cannot even rid himself of these defects and that he is subjugated with regard to his physical shape." He meant that if he were Allaah, he would be able to remove the shortcoming in his body. The fact that he is unable to do so indicates that he is subjugated to the Lord of the Worlds and is unable to rid himself of his defects.

He Will Seek The Help Of The Shayateen (Devils)

The Dajjaal will seek the help of the shayaateen and we know that Allaah does not help of anyone to do whatever he wants to do. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

Part of his fitnah will be that he will be that he will say to a Bedouin, Do you think that if I resurrect your father and your mother for you, you will bear witness that I am your lord? He will say, Yes. Then a shaytan will appear to him in the form of his father and mother, and will say, My son, follow him, for he is your lord" (Saheeh Jamii Sagheer).
