Okay Meedo, I got this off the internet since it is unlikely I will see my friend on a friday.
Here is what I ask- Is this stuff correct, and are these citations valid interpetations by your standards?The Dajjal will come to the people and invite them (to a wrong religion); they will affirm their faith in him and respond to him. (Sahih Muslim, 7015)
It can be seen from all this information that the Dajjal will first portray himself to people as a guide, then will claim to be the Messiah, and then declare himself to be divine (Allah is truly beyond what they ascribe to Him). In order to convince large masses of people, the Dajjal will make use of technological means and use the most advanced special illusive effects and techniques of hypnosis. Bediuzzaman Said Nursi has spoken of these methods to which the Dajjal will resort:
The Dajjal possesses hypnotic properties along the lines of spiritualism … This unbeliever whose only aim is this world attacks spiritual values with a brazenness and courage stemming from absolute unbelief. People who do not know the true state of affairs will regard this as extraordinary power and courage.(Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, Risale-i Nur
Collection – the Flashes)
Elsewhere, Bediuzzaman describes the trickery the Dajjal will use to deceive people:
The worst of these who will lead them, the Dajjal, possesses marvels linked to phenomena of spiritualism and magnetism [with such phenomena as hypnotism and contact with the jinns], and will go still further, and will declare his own divinity [Allah is truly beyond what they ascribe to Him], conceiving of a kind of divinity for his forced and false rule… B S N, R-I N Collection the letters, 55)
