The question is about when dajjal will come and what the dream means.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

When is it predicted that dajjal will come? I have herd that scholars have concluded he is here or will come in the next 10 years.  Also, I have seen rasoolAllah (pbuh) without a beard in my drem and 3 niqabis facing the qibla whom i had zina with (both of these occured in the same dream). Please interpret. May Allah reward you with wisdom and good.

الجواب وباللہ التوفیق 

We do not know about the coming out of the antichrist in the next ten years, but Hazrat Mohammad (SAW) has mentioned some of the signs of his coming out.

1- He will be red and white in color.

’’اَلدَّجَّالُ أَحْمَرُ هِجَانٌ‘‘

(طبرانی اوسط:۱۶۴۸)

 2- His body will be heavy.  

“الدَّجَّالُ… ضَخْمٌ  فَيْلَمِي”

‘‘(طبرانی اوسط:۱۶۴۸)

 3- He will be short in terms of height:

’’ إِنَّ مَسِيْحَ الدَّجَّال رَجُلٌ قَصِيْرٌ‘‘

(سنن ابی داؤد کتاب الفتن:۴۳۲۰)

 4-Hair of his head will be more, curly and tangled.

’’إِنَّهُ شَابٌّ قَطَطٌ جُفَالُ الشَّعَرِ ‘‘ (صحیح مسلم:۲۹۳۴،۲۹۳۷)

 5- Both his eyes will be bad; his left eye will be blind, and his right eye will be like a floating grape.

’’وَهُوَ أَعْوَرُ عَيْنِهِ الْيُسْرىٰ بِعَيْنِهِ الْيُمْنٰى ظُفْرَةٌ غَلِيْظَةٌ۔(مسند احمد :۲۱۹۷۹)

 أَعْوَر الْعَيْنِ الْيُمْنٰى كَأَنَّ عَیْنَہٗ عِنَبَةٌ طَافِيَةٌ‘‘  (صحیح بخاری:کتاب الفتن،۶۷۰۵)

 6- Will be young and will be similar to “Abdul Aziz bin Qatan”.

’’ إِنَّهٗ شَابٌّ… شَبِيْهٌ بِعَبْدِ العُزَّى بْنِ قَطَنٍ‘‘  ۔(سنن ترمذی:۲۲۴۰)

 7- Between the two eyes of the antichrist will be written:  

”ک  ، ف ، ر“

meaning infidel, which every believer will be able to read whether he is literate or illiterate and everyone who would resent deeds of the antichrist. 

’’إِنَّهٗ مَكْتُوْبٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ:كَافِرٌ يَقْرَأُهٗ مَنْ كَرِهَ عَمَلَهٗ‘‘

(صحیح مسلم:۲۹۳۱و۲۹۳۳)

 Dajjal will appear when the world will be going through the below circumstances:

 1- He will come out when religion is weak, and knowledge is gone.

 ’’يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ فِي خَفْقَةٍ مِنَ الدِّيْنِ وَإِدْبَارٍ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ‘‘   (مسند احمد :۱۴۹۵۴)

2- He will come out when enmity spreads among them. 

(مستدرکِ حاکم:۸۶۱۲)

3- Tribulations will be such that a person will be a believer in the morning and will become a disbeliever in the evening. 

The people will be divided into two tents: one for the believers and the other for the hypocrites. 

The Prophet of Allah (SAW) said: At that time, you have to wait for the antichrist to come today or tomorrow 

 ’’إِذَا كَانَ ذَاكُمْ فَانْتَظِرُوا الدَّجَّالَ مِنَ الْيَوْمِ أَوْ غَدٍ‘‘

(مسند احمد :۶۱۶۸)

4- The water of the springs will go down, water from the canals will be sucked out, the grass will turn yellow,

the tribes of Maz’haj and Hamadan will have moved from Iraq to Qinsarin, then you wait for the antichrist to come in the morning or in the evening.

 ’’ إِذَا غَارَتِ الْعُيُوْنُ وَنَزَفَتِ الْأَنْهَارُ وَاصْفَرَّ الرَّيْحَانُ وَانْتَقَلَتْ مَذْحِجُ وَهَمْدَانُ مِنَ الْعِرَاقِ فَنَزَلَتْ قِنَّسْرِيْنَ فَانْتَظِرُوا الدَّجَّالَ غَادِيًا أَوْ رَائِحًا‘‘(مستدرکِ حاکم:۸۴۲۰)

5- Deception and treachery will flourish for a few years before Dajjal appears. There will be a lot of rain, but a short yield of crops and grains. 

During that time the liar will be considered honest and the truthful will be considered a liar, the traitor will be considered a patriot and the trustworthy will be considered an unreliable person.  

Bastards and lowly men will assume positions of responsibility and will handle people’s affairs.

 ’’يَكُوْنُ أَمَامَ الدَّجَّالِ سِنُوْنَ خَوَادِعُ، يَكْثُرُ فِيْهَا الْمَطَرُ وَيَقِلُّ فِيْهَا النَّبْتُ وَيُكَذَّبُ فِيْهَا الصَّادِقُ وَيُصَدِّقُ فِيْهَا الْكَاذِبُ وَيُؤْتَمَنُ فِيْهَا الْخَائِنُ وَيُخَوَّنُ فِيْهَا الْأَمِينُ، وتَنْطِقُ فِيْهَا الرُّوَيْبِضَةُ‘‘

(طبرانی کبیر:۱۸؍۶۸)

6- There will be a decrease in production, three years before he comes. 

In the first year the sky will stop one-third of its rain and the earth will also stop one-third of its production.

In the second year, the sky will hold back two-thirds (2/3rds) of rain  and the earth will also stop two-thirds (2/3rds)  of its yield. 

And in the third year the heavens will cease to rain, and the earth will cease to produce, which will kill all the cattle that have hoofs and Molars 

 ’’إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ سِنِيْنَ، سَنَةٌ تُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءُ ثُلُثَ قَطْرِهَا وَالْأَرْضُ ثُلُثَ نَبَاتِهَا وَالثَّانِيَةُ تُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءُ ثُلُثَيْ قَطْرِهَا وَالْأَرْضُ ثُلُثَيْ نَبَاتِهَا وَالثَّالِثَةُ تُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءُ قَطْرَهَا كُلَّهٗ وَالْأَرْضُ نَبَاتَهَا كُلَّهٗ فَلَا تَبْقٰى ذَاتُ ظِلْفٍ وَلَا ذَاتُ ضِرْسٍ مِنَ الْبَهَائِمِ إِلَّا هَلَكَتْ‘‘

(الفتن لنعیم:۱۴۸۱)

7- There must have been three panic attacks. This is the instruction of the Holy Prophet (SAW): The three cities of the Muslims will be such that one of them will be at the confluence of the two seas, the other at Heerah and the third in Syria. Then there will be three times when the people will be terrified and then soon the antichrist will come out within the people.

 ’’يَكُوْنُ لِلْمُسْلِمِيْنَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَمْصَارٍ: مِصْرٌ بِمُلْتَقَى الْبَحْرَيْنِ وَمِصْرٌ بِالْحِيرَةِ  وَمِصْرٌ بِالشَّامِ، فَيَفْزَعُ النَّاسُ ثَلَاثَ فَزَعَاتٍ، فَيَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ فِي أَعْرَاضِ النَّاسِ‘‘

(مسند احمد :۱۷۹۰۰)

8- The Romans will arrive at the place of “A’maaq or Dabiq”, an army will advance towards them from Madinah Monawwarah.

who will be the best people of that time. When the two armies will line up face to face, the Romans will say:  Leave us alone against those of our people whom you have captured and who have become Muslims, because we will fight with them. 

The Muslims will say, we will not hand over our brothers to you. At this fight will break out between Romans and the Muslims. 

At that time, one third of the Muslims will flee, 

whose repentance Allah will never accept, and one third of the Muslims will be killed who will be the best martyrs in the sight of Allah Almighty, and the remaining one-third of the Muslims will be victorious, and will be safe from all kinds of tribulations in the future.

After that they will soon conquer Constantinople. They will hang their swords on the olive trees and will start distributing the spoils. 

While they will still be distributing, Satan will shout at them and say: “the Antichrist has entered your homes and settlements behind you”. As soon as they will hear that, the Muslims will leave Constantinople to fight Dajjal. And although this news will be wrong, but when these people arrive in Syria, the antichrist would have really appeared. 

’’لَا تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ حَتّٰى يَنْزِلَ الرُّوْمُ بِالْأَعْمَاقِ أَوْ بِدَابِقٍ، فَيَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِمْ جَيْشٌ ……… فَيَفْتَتِحُوْنَ قُسْطَنْطِيْنِيَّةَ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَقْتَسِمُوْنَ الْغَنَائِمَ قَدْ عَلَّقُوْا سُيُوْفَهُمْ بِالزَّيْتُونِ إِذْ صَاحَ فِيْهِمِ الشَّيْطَانُ إِنَّ الْمَسِيْحَ قَدْ خَلَفَكُمْ فِي أَهْلِيْكُمْ، فَيَخْرُجُوْنَ وَذٰلِكَ بَاطِلٌ فَإِذَا جَاءُوا الشَّامَ خَرَجَ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يُعِدُّوْنَ لِلْقِتَالِ۔

(صحیح مسلم:۲۸۹۷)

 9- The Arabs will be few at that time and most of them will be in “Jerusalem” and their Imam will be a righteous man.

 ’’هُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَلِيْلٌ وَجُلُّهُمْ بِبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَإِمَامُهُمْ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ‘‘ (سنن ابن ماجہ :۴۰۷۷)

 10- At this time, the mention of the Antichrist will be over. Imams will also stop mentioning it on the minbar/mihrab.

 ’’لَا يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ حَتّٰى يَذْهَلَ النَّاسُ عَنْ ذِكْرِهٖ وَحَتّٰى تَتْرُكَ الْأَئِمَّةُ ذِكْرَهٗ عَلَى الْمَنَابِرِ‘‘(مجمع الزوائد:۱۲۴۹۹)

10- There are various traditions about the land from which Dajjal will emerge. 

One tradition is that he will emerge between Syria and Iraq.

According to one tradition, he will come out of the East, ie Khorasan.

And there is also a tradition that he will come out of the Jewish village of Isbahan (or Isfahan, a city currently in Iran). 

’’يَخْرُجُ مَا بَيْنَ الشَّامِ وَالْعِرَاقِ۔وفی روایۃ: يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بِالمَشْرِقِ يُقَالُ لَهَا: خُرَاسَانُ ‘‘ 

(سنن ترمذی:۲۲۳۷۔ ۲۲۴۰)

’’يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ مِنْ يَهُودِيَّةٍ أَصْبَهَانَ‘‘(مستدرکِ حاکم: ۸۶۱۱)

Regarding your dream, it indicates that the traditions of the Holy Prophet should be adopted, and sins should be avoided.
