Reports on the Dajjal - Online Course + Book Bundle

The course by itself is available here.

This course will be a 5-week exploration of the subject of the Dajjal, primarily grounded in Hafiz ‘Abd al-Ghani ibn ‘Abd al-Wahid al-Maqdisi's Reports on the Dajjal (Akhbar al-Dajjal). Discussion of the Dajjal, or Antichrist, can be challenging, confusing, and even bewildering. At the same time, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ strongly encouraged the Muslims to discuss the Dajjal and to warn one another about his deceptions.

With these issues in mind, the goal of this course will be to provide clarity on the subject of the Dajjal. The 107 hadith collected in al-Maqdisi's text will serve as the main reading for the course, helping to focus the class discussion on what is firmly established in the traditional sources. Students can expect to gain much greater clarity on issues related to the Dajjal, which in turn may help us to warn our families, communities, and those close to us about this great trial and its dangers, and to take appropriate steps to protect our faith and the faith of our loved ones.

Classes will be kept small to allow for participation and questions. Students will be invited to join a private Telegram chat group with the instructor to facilitate further discussion and inquiry.

Course schedule: Every Tuesday starting August 29th, 2023 until September 26th, 2023 (1pm ET; 10am PST; 6pm British; 8pm Medina) – This will be a live course held via Zoom. All sessions will be recorded if you cannot attend live.
