TERRORISM: THE RITUAL OF THE DEVIL

of whose most important attributes will be that he disrupts the peace
and order of mankind. Many people, though, attach little importance
to that power, known as the Antichrist (Dajjal). That is because, most
people either have little knowledge of the matter, or have never heard
of it at all. However, the subject of the Antichrist is very prominent in
those of the Prophet's hadiths which point out that the last day is ap-

been provided. The aim of this book is to describe the characteristics of
the Antichrist, one of the Devil's primary minions on earth, as set out in

the hadiths, and to allow the reader to acquire more familiarity with
this Devilish power, of which God's messenger (pbuh) has warned us.
From the hadiths, one would ordinarily think of him as an indi-
vidual. However, as well as an individual, it can also be an ideology
that tends towards violence and savagery, possesses devilish character-

will treat that aspect, and demonstrate that the Antichrist is a perverted
ideological movement that has enormous influence in the world. That
movement holds whole communities under its spell, attracts followers
despite all its manifest absurdities and errors, and even has its own dif-

Another important matter that will be considered in this book is
the way this movement inspires fear and unease in people, giving rise
to chaos and anarchy, and destroying peace and security, in order to
consolidate its hold on the entire world. One of the most frequently
employed methods that the movement in question resorts to, in order
to achieve its aims, is acts of violence and terrorism aimed at the inno-
cent. In other words, terrorism is the most prominent element of the
way of the Antichrist. That element is employed by the disciples of the
system, in hysteria and rage, as if it were a holy rite.
