Dajjal

2. Signs Preceding the Emergence of Dajjal

The onset of Dajjal’s influence is heralded by a series of significant signs, as outlined in Shia eschatological teachings. These signs serve as a forewarning to the faithful to remain vigilant. Among the most prominent indicators is widespread moral decay. This degeneration manifests in rampant injustice, the abandonment of religious tenets, and the proliferation of falsehood.

Furthermore, socio-political turmoil is another pivotal sign. As societies face oppression and tyranny, the conditions become fertile ground for Dajjal’s rise. Economic hardships and a breakdown of familial and communal ties often precede his arrival. The turmoil creates urgency, prompting individuals to seek solace in charismatic yet deceptive leaders—potentially leading them into the hands of Dajjal.
