Many Muslims end up confused with the
folkloristic tale of a giant who travels at the speed of the
clouds, the distance between his ears being 40 arm spans, the
deep sea reaching only up to his ankle, in possession of
mountain of bread and rivers and working the most amazing
miracles. Yet this is not a myth, this is an attempt to
explain in the words of one-and-a-half millennia ago the
wonders of modern technology: the travel at speed, the
far-reaching ability to discover the most remote secrets of
the land and the sea, the unlimited control over the resources
of the whole world. These descriptions of the Dajjal depict
the system which he has at his disposal. But there is also the Dajjal, the person, the final
leader of the Roman (i.e. Western) One World Empire, a man
of Jewish descent (described in the likeness of
a Jew by name of Ibn
Sayyad), with curly and coarse hair, a beak of
a nose and biting teeth. He commands armies
and desires total control, but he will not be
invincible.
The emergence
of the Dajjal after fierce battles between the Muslims
and the forces of the then ruler, as-Sufayani, a name
with connotation of brutish force and destruction, indicates
the transformation of the conflict from a political confrontation to a spiritual one. Therefore, whilst
the greatly decimated Muslim forces will, under the leadership of the
Mahdi, the guided one, eventually prevail against their
enemies, it will take Jesus (Isa),
the real Christ, peace be upon him, to kill
the Dajjal, the false Messiah. After his second
coming he will establish a just rule for fourty
years.

Damascus where Jesus (pbuh) will descend on his second coming.
The Mosque also holds the tombs of Salahudeen and the Prophet
Yahyaa (John the Baptist), peace be upon him.
