The Dajjal has influenced people through hypnosis, making them unable to see the most evident facts regarding the end times

Our Prophet (saas) has described dajjal (the antichrist) as the worst
corruption in the historyof mankind and has given detailed information
concerning the damage and corruption the antichristwill cause, the
impact hewill have on people and how he will mislead them. Bediuzzaman
Said Nursi also made wide-ranging statements on the basis of these
hadiths on the subject of the antichrist'sactivities and described how
the antichrist would take control of people through a kind of
hypnosis:
One of its reasons is as follows: IT COULD ONLY BEA WONDROUS PERSON
WITH THE POWER OF MIRACLES who could neutralize and change the way of
THE HORRIFYING DAJJAL [ANTICHRIST], WHO WILL PRESERVE HIMSELF THROUGH
WONDERS, BESTOWED ON HIM BY GODIN ORDER TO LEAD HIM ASTRAY, SUCH AS
MAGIC, HYPNOTIC POWERS, AND SPIRITUALISM, AND WILL SPELLBIND EVERYONE
. And THAT PERSON WILL BETHE PROPHET JESUS (AS), WHO IS THE PROPHET OF
THE MAJORITY OF MANKIND. (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, Rays, p. 493)
The system of the antichrist makes intense use of such means of mass
communications as the radio, television, internet, newspapers and
magazines, and has succeeded in influencingboth a number of Muslims
and also much of the population of the world at large. But thesepeople
hypnotized by the antichrist are unable, because of that hypnosis, to
recognize that they have been hypnotized. For that reason;
They regard this state of affairs, which should greatly alarm them, as
perfectly ordinary;
They regard a phenomenon that should normally spur them into action as
something very ordinary;
They are easily taken in by false information, nonsense and
superstitious beliefs theywould never otherwise sign up to;
And they watch many marvels and miracles worked by Allah literally
through closed eyes, as if they were unaware of them.
Satan's Help for the antichrist
It is revealed in the hadiths that the antichrist will be helped by satans.
... SATANS WILL SAY TO HIM, "TELL US WHAT YOU WANT, AND WE WILL DO
IT." And he will say, "Go, and tell people that I am their Lord," and
will disperse them in all directions... (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah
li-ashrat al-sa'ah, pp. 212-213)
As revealed in the verses of the Qur'an, satan is able to cling to
people like a shell and cause forgetfulness:
He (Moses' young helper)said, 'Do you see what has happened? When we
went to find shelter at the rock, I forgot the fish. No one made me
forget to remember it except satan . It found itsway into the sea in
an amazing way.' (Surat al-Kahf, 63)
If someone shuts his eyes to the remembrance of the All-Merciful, We
assign him a satan who becomes his bosom friend –..." (Surat
al-Zukhruf, 36)
As the verses also reveal, satan may be also to cause such effects as
forgetfulness, distractingpeople, closing their minds and blocking
theirforesight and perception. The system of the antichrist also has a
sorcery-type effect on people by using satans. Close inspection shows
that the majority of the world's population have been hypnotized by
the antichrist, giving rise to a situation that stops them from seeing
the most evident truths.
The intense and constanthypnosis from the system of the antichrist
results in terrible heedlessness in people. Bediuzzaman describes this
position as follows:
But in these stormy times, currents that numb the senses and scatter
man's attention on peripheral matters, plunging him into them, have
deadened his senses and bewildered him. As a result of this the people
of misguidance are temporarily unable to feel the spiritual torment.
Even the people of guidance are overwhelmed by heedlessness and
cannottruly appreciate its true pleasures. (BediuzzamanSaid Nursi,
Rays, p. 678)
Just as Bediuzzaman says, in the End Times a great many people
hypnotized by the system of the antichrist have;
* Had their senses numbed, in other words,they have lost their
foresight and perception,
* Have had their attention scattered, in other words, they are unable
to see important matters right before their eyes,
* Have had their senses deadened; in other words, they have turned
into people who are unable to see their dire circumstances. This lack
of awareness is so intense and severe that they are even unable to
feel how painful and troubled their situation is.
As Bediuzzaman also says in the words, "IT COULD ONLY BE A WONDROUS
PERSON WITH THE POWER OF MIRACLES who could neutralize and change the
way of THE HORRIFYING DAJJAL [ANTICHRIST], WHO WILL PRESERVE HIMSELF
THROUGH WONDERS, BESTOWED ON HIM BY GODIN ORDER TO LEAD HIM ASTRAY,
SUCH AS MAGIC, HYPNOTIC POWERS, AND SPIRITUALISM, AND WILL SPELLBIND
EVERYONE . And THAT PERSON WILL BETHE PROPHET JESUS (AS)," the Prophet
Jesus (as) will totally eradicate thishypnosis of the antichrist.
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will work to break this hypnosis and sorcery until
the appearance of the Prophet Jesus (as), but it is only with the
Prophet Jesus' (as) coming that people will be totally freed from the
influence of that hypnosis.
In order to better see how this hypnosis is working on people, it will
be useful to examine, subject by subject, how the antichrist scatters
the attention and deadens the powers of understanding of the people he
hypnotizes.
1. Under the influence ofthe hypnotism of the antichrist, people will
beunnaturally calm and will fail to realize they are living through
very important events at this time.
One of the greatest and most holy ages in the history of the world
began with the Hijri 1400s. This age is that of the coming of Hazrat
Mahdi (as), whose coming Allah foretold to all the prophets, which
even the earliest prophets were aware of,and whom our Prophet (saas)
has described with hundreds of details.The Prophet Jesus (as) will
return in this century, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear and the moral
values of Islam will rule the world. Signsshowing that we are in aholy
age began appearing right from the first days of Hijri 1400. More than
150 signs foretold by our Prophet (saas) have taken place over the
last 30 years. This is a clear indication of the comingof Hazrat Mahdi
(as).
Under normal circumstances, a Muslim who knows the hadiths about the
system of the Mahdi and who sees thatthey have come about should be in
a state of the greatest excitement and be striving to find Hazrat
Mahdi (as). It is extraordinary for a Muslim who believes in the words
of our Prophet (saas) to know that more than 150 phenomena foretold by
him have taken place and still continue with his daily affairs as if
nothing had happened. Every Muslims learning this information will
naturally engage on a quest and strive to be one of the followers of
Hazrat Mahdi (as) and to serve Islam and will spread the moral values
of the religion with all his fervor and wage an intellectual struggle
against irreligion.
But when we look at theIslamic world in general we see that some
Muslims are so totally and extraordinarily unmoved that they say, "The
signs foretold by our Prophet (saas) have come about, and that is a
good thing. Now, whatshall I cook for dinner?" This extraordinary
apathy is the result of hypnosis by the antichrist. Even if someone
hypnotized by the antichrist was told ofall the portents, all the
hadiths and given, all the glad tidings in the Qur'an, all that will
still not stir him from that apathy. That person will still not be
able to fully concentrate on anythingother than subjects such as what
to have for dinner, what to wear that morning, which school to put his
children down for or how to meet the next payment on his car.
2. The hadiths of our Prophet (saas) show thatlittle time remains
until the Day of Judgment. However, even that fails to stir some
people under the hypnosis of the antichrist.
Trustworthy hadiths handed down from our Prophet (saas) report that
the life span of this world is 7000 years. One trustworthy hadith
narrated by Ahmed ibn Hanbal reveals that 5600 years of the life of
the Earth have already passed.
Bediuzzaman Said Nursi interprets the information in these reliable
hadiths to mean that the Day of Judgment will come as of Hijri 1545:
"A group from my community will remain in truth until Allah's command."
The abjad calculation of the clause "A group frommy community..."
which is 1542 (2117) implies its [the community's] time of survival.
The abjad calculation of the clause "will remain in truth" (when the
gemination mark is counted) gives 1506 (2082); it indicates until that
date it will continue its work of enlightenment evidentlyand
obviously, and maybe victoriously; then until 1542 (2117) in secrecy
and defeat. The abjad calculation of the clause " until Allah's
command" (when the gemination mark is counted) suggests that THE
JUDGMENT DAY WILL BEFALL the unbeliever in 1545 (2120) . (Bediuzzaman
Said Nursi, Kastamonu Addendum, p. 33)
We are now in Hijri 1431. As is clear from thehadiths and from
statements by Sunni scholars, the world has some 110 years left, and
the Ummah a life span of70 years remaining. By Allah's leave, within
these 70 years we will see the return of the Prophet Jesus (as), the
open emergence of Hazrat Mahdi (as), the unification of the
Islamicworld under the leadership of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the global
dominion of the moral values of Islam. There is no doubt that this is
very important information, which will excite everyone and enormously
increase his or her fervor. And thanksto the advances in
communications technology, the great majority of the world now can
access that information.
But a great many peoplestill behave as if nothing were happening, and
occupy themselves with the details of their daily lives, as if they
will live for hundreds more years. They regard this important reality
as if it were just ordinary information. It is a marvel that the
Prophet Jesus (as), who was taken into the Presence of Allah 2000
years ago and was removed from the spheres of time and space, should
return to the Earth as a prophet. The way that Hazrat Mahdi (as),
whose characteristics Allah has revealed in detail and who He has made
holy and select, is active in this century is another marvel. The way
that, by Allah's leave, everyone will turn to faith in the years ahead
and the moral values of Islam will rule the world is yet another great
marvel. But the way that although some people know these marvels
theybehave as if they were unimportant and attach more importance to
the next day's business contract, making the next payment to their
children's schools, the summer house they are thinking of buying and
how to decorate their homes is also a huge marvel. This apathy is one
of the clearest signs of the effect the hypnosis of the antichrist is
having on them.
3. Rivers of Muslims blood are flowing all over the world and the
Muslim world is suffering terribly, but because of the hypnosis of the
antichrist a great many people watch this uninterested.
News reports of people being martyred come in just about every day
from Afghanistan, or Iraq, or Palestine or East Turkestan. Just about
every day, newspapers carry reports about Muslims being bombed,
attacked, shot, imprisoned unjustly, tortured, raped and persecuted. A
great many people watch these reports with an unbelievable apathy, and
usually make no other reaction that to say, "do you see what is
happening in the Muslimworld?" Even worse, thegreat majority turns
the page of the newspaper when they see such reports without even
reading them and turn their attention to the result of a soccer match
or some artist's new hair-do. While such a person is sipping his warm
soup or tea and talking about matters of no urgency whatsoever,
millions of people left homeless on the streets of Pakistan are
wondering where to find shelter for the winter, Palestinian mothers
are wondering how to save their children that they cannot take to
hospitals, Afghan fathers whose wives have been raped before their
eyes are wondering how to respond and Iraqi children who have lost
their new-born siblings when the maternity ward was bombed are
wondering when it will all end. It is impossible for a normal person
to remain impassive in the face of such a picture foreven a second.
But the way that the great majority of the Islamic world of almost 1.5
billion people calmly sit back and watch what is happening to our
mothers, sisters, grandfathers and aunts in those lands is all due to
the effect of the hypnosis of the antichrist.

4. People believe in Darwinism, which ascribes all of life and the
universe to the unbelievable and illogical idea of blind chance,
because of the hypnosis of the antichrist.
One of the most blatant activities of the system of the antichrist is
the way that Darwinism enjoys official protectionand is imposed on
people in many countries, even though it is obvious that chance cannot
even account for the emergence of a single protein, that living things
have remained unchanged over millions of years and that data from all
branches of science haveyet again exposed the invalidity of the theory
of evolution. Bediuzzaman also said that Darwinism and materialism
would spread contagion by indoctrination and thus inflict terrible
harm on mankind. Darwinism is the religion of the community of the
antichrist. The antichrist needs a false religion in the campaign he
is waging against the moral values of the religion, and that false
religion is Darwinism. Anirrational and unbelievable theory is
established by the use offalse drawings, false formula and false
accounts, and people arethen indoctrinated with it as if it were a
scientificfact.
Darwinism is well knownto be a superstitious faith going back to the
ancient Sumerians and ancient Egypt and to be based on no scientific
evidence whatsoever. But the way that the myth that "living things
emerged spontaneously in muddy water" is set out with all seriousness,
dressed up with Latin terminology, as if it were science, and even
worse that people who have been educated andbecome professors cometo
believe this myth and the way that people who see that the whole thing
is totally wrong and say so then face a terrible policy of
intimidation and pressure are other indications of the hypnosis of the
antichrist.
5. Allah promises Muslimsthat Islam will rule the world, but under the
influence of the antichrist a great many Muslims ignore this promise.
Allah has promised in several verses of the Qur'an that He will
causetrue believers to inherit the Earth, in other words, that the
moral values of Islam will rule the world. Glad tidings are also given
in many hadiths that the moral values of Islam will rule the world in
the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), the age we are living in now. Every
Muslim who believes in Allah, has surrendered to Him and trusts in His
judgment, knows that Allah will certainly keep His promise. And since
Allah has promised the global dominion of Islam, they will strive to
be instrumental in this promise coming about. They will strive
materially and spiritually. Allah's explicitcommand to believers is to
strive until Islam rules the world, until corruption leaves the world
and the religion isAllah's only. (Surat al-Anfal, 39) If prayer,
fasting and giving alms are Allah's command, then Allah also commands
Muslims to strive on His path until His religion rules the world.
Every Muslim has a duty to strive against corruption in order to make
good this promise of Allah's. In other words, they must strive against
irreligion, materialism and Darwinism, that hurt people and bestow
afflictions on them, that deprive them of their joy, that literally
turn them into robots and supposedly legitimize conflict, fighting and
selfishness. And that struggle must be on the level of ideas. All the
afflictions and troubles plaguing the world havean ideological
foundation. The pains in question cannot come toan end until that
foundation has been eliminated. And the foundations concerned is
Darwinism and materialism.
In waging a struggle against Darwinism and materialism, a Muslim also
has a responsibility to describe the evidence for the existence and
oneness of Allah, using the most pleasant, wise, warm and rational
language that will cause the other party to believe. He has a
responsibility to tell people of the truths of the Qur'an, the sublime
moral values of our Prophet (saas) and the Age of Happiness of Islam.
But this must be done in accordance withAllah's command "Strive
against them until there is no more discord and the religion belongs
to Allah alone." (Surat al-Baqara, 193) It is because of the influence
of the hypnosis of the antichrist that some people have lost hope
inthe global dominion of Islam, despite all the above truths. These
people forget Allah's explicit promise and glad tidings and they do
not think there is a one in a thousand or even one in a million chance
of the global dominion of Islam happening. In other words, they regard
Allah's promise asimpossible. When asked "could communism rule the
world?" These people say, "maybe." When asked, "could atheist
freemasonry rule the world?" they say, "ofcourse, why not?" When
asked, "could fascism, the USA, Europe or atheist Zionism rule the
world?" They regard the dominion of each of these as perfectly
reasonable. They only regard the dominion of Islam as being possible.
The reason for this is that, under the effect of the hypnosis of the
antichrist, their foresightis clouded over and they forget Allah's
promise. The fact is that every Muslim knows that Allah is He Who
definitely keeps His promises. He will mobilize all his resources and
wage an intellectual struggle to ensure the dominion of the religion
of Allah, whether Allah shows him that dominion or not. Those who
encourage apathy and sloth by ignoring Allah's promise, belittling, in
their own eyes, the struggle of those who strive for the global
dominion of Islam and who tell Muslims, "that dominion will never
happen," clearly do so under the influence of the sorcery of the
antichrist.
The Hypnosis of the antichrist Can Be Lifted through a Sincere,
Profound and Punctilious Faith
The End Times we are living is very holy and full of good tidings, but
they also impose important responsibilities on believers. No success
canbe achieved against the antichrist, described as the worst
corruption in human history, by ignoring him and behaving as if no
such situation existed. Muslims must grasp the danger, from all
aspects, if they are to take the most rational and effective
precautions. The hypnosis of the antichrist will be lifted from
everyone through the Prophet Jesus (as), asrevealed in the hadiths.
It is only possible to avoid this hypnosis and be protected against
thesorcery of the community of the antichrist through genuine and
profound faith. Since satan directlytargets the human brain,Muslims
can escape the hypnosis of the antichrist through prayer, by
submitting to Allah, by being sincere and be exhibiting a genuine
determination. Otherwise they may fall under this hypnosis. There is a
deep-rooted system in which one hypnosis is followed andsupported by
another.
In saying that the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) can be
recognized by the light of faith, Bediuzzaman said that true believers
could be protected from the hypnosis of the community of the
antichrist through the light of faith and see thetruths that the
community of the antichrist wished to conceal.
Muslims in the End Timeshave to tear aside the curtain brought down by
the community of the antichrist. Therefore there has to be
powerfulconditioning against thepropaganda and conditioning of the
community of the antichrist. As Allah commands in the Qur'an,careful
attention, a clear mind and the state of submission that comes from
knowing that Allah is with us will keep believers from the hypnosis of
the antichrist. If the community of the antichrist seeks to prop its
own superstitious system up by way of conditioning, then Muslims must
neutralize that conditioning by frequently rememberingAllah,
constantly raising the solutions shown by our Prophet (saas), always
reminding people we are living in the End Times and tellingthem that
Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the Prophet Jesus (as) are at work, constantly
bringing up the importance of the unification of the Islamicworld and
striving for the global dominion of the moral values of Islam.
