dajjal's morality and system. The dajjal's emergence is reported
as being one of the End Times' major signs:

following about the hadith describing the dajjal and other signs
of the Last Day:
The emergence of the dajjal and of Gog and Magog is a reality; the
rising of the Sun in the west is a reality; the descent of the Prophet
Jesus (as) from the heavens is a reality; and all the other signs of the
