Anti Christ age (Zaman Dajjal).

“But you prefer the worldly life, While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.” (Qur’an 87:16).

In these verses, the Holy Qur’an tells us that hereafter is more important than this world, meaning that the dajjal will tell us otherwise. So, the idea of the dajjal, is the dajjal will come and tell people. In the same way that Jesus (pbuh)/ Isa A.S told them that the next world(hereafter) is what you should work for but the dajjal will tell that this world is what you should work for. Also in the same way that Isa A.S told them that dunya is a delusion and it will delude you. The dajjal will tell them the next world is the delusion. The world where we lives is contrary to hereafter (akhirat). Dunya is the illusory element of the world. Is that element that take people away from the akhirat. And this is satan gain. Satan gain is to take people away, satan will make distance. Dunya is the illusory nature of the world, it’s the aspect of the world that delude you. Thinking that you are permanent, thinking that you can do beyond te limits and thinking that you are independent from Allah. This is the DUNYA!!

If you see like a beer commercial, like Budweiser, you only live once you only go around once. So, get up and have fun as much as you can. This is the message of this age. It’s a message of deep materialism, it is a message telling people that they would be happy through buying things, buy more and be happy. This is a slogan “be happy, don’t worry, be happy!”

“Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children - like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion.” (Qur’an 57:20)

In short word, dunya is the delusion. Our beloved prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said that love of the world is the root of all evil. And also The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The life of this world compared to the Hereafter is as if one of you were to put his finger in the ocean and take it out again then compare the water that remains on his finger to the water that remains in the ocean.” [Sahîh Muslim (2858)]
Hey look what our prophet said about this dunya and akhirat. Dunya is nothing compare to akhirat. Why most of us forget about akhirat? And why many people still work for dunya and foget about akhirat. We have to make a move now! And change your life!

“Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allah has with Him the best return.” (Qur’an 3:14)

So, Islam teaches us that we should be careful toward excessive desire for worldly things. Because that is something invaluable in the end of the world (kiamat). And what kind of system that applied in this age? Well, the answer would be Consumerism! Maybe you would argree with me if I say that people in Indonesia are more likely happy buying things. Nowadays people loved to spend money they don’t have on things they don’t need. This system is arranged to make people believe that they would be happy though consuming goods or buying things.
Now if you look the message of Isa A.S, his message is all about akhirat, warning people about death. He says that dunya is a bridge, so who could get accrossed it and don’t spend time building on. Beautiful saying from Isa A.S. so therefore the anti-christ would be the opposite of christ. One of the root meaning of “dunya” is to reach out for great that you will never grasp. Because this is the nature of dunya, you will never be able to get it. It always be make you away from the akhirat!

Now I want you to look at your surrounding! What can you see? Don’t you see that today we’re already in the age of Dajjal? Think about it!
