Story/History Illustrations based on Islamic literacy. The reason why Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace be upon him) is chosen to kill the Dajjal (Antichrist) is rooted in Islamic eschatology and divine wisdom. Here are some key reasons: 1. A Divine Response to the Dajjal’s False Claims The Dajjal will claim to be divine and will perform deceptive miracles to mislead people. Since Prophet Isa (AS) was falsely claimed to be divine by some of his followers (Christian sects), his return will refute both: The false divinity attributed to him. The false divinity claimed by the Dajjal. His return will clarify that he is a human prophet and a servant of Allah. 2. Continuation of His Mission Prophet Isa (AS) was raised to the heavens and was not killed or crucified, as mentioned in the Qur'an (Surah An-Nisa 4:157-158). Since he did not complete his earthly mission, he will return to fulfill his role by defeating the greatest fitnah (trial) in history—Dajjal. 3. Justice & Leadership in the End Times Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that when Isa (AS) returns, he will rule with justice according to the Shariah (Islamic law). He will break the cross and abolish the jizya (signifying the correction of theological misunderstandings about him). After killing Dajjal, he will lead the Muslims in righteousness. 4. A Special Honor & Wisdom from Allah Prophet Isa (AS) is uniquely honored by being one of the five greatest prophets (Ulul Azm). Since he was taken alive and will return, it aligns with Allah’s divine plan. His return will be a sign of the nearing of the Day of Judgment. 5. Prophetic Hadith Confirmation Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "The son of Mary will soon descend among you as a just ruler; he will break the cross, kill the swine, and abolish the jizya. Wealth will be in such abundance that no one will accept it." (Sahih al-Bukhari, 2222; Sahih Muslim, 155) Another hadith describes: "Isa, son of Mary, will descend at the white minaret to the east of Damascus. He will pursue the Dajjal and kill him at the gate of Ludd." (Sahih Muslim, 2937) Conclusion Allah chose Prophet Isa (AS) to kill Dajjal because it is a divine justice, a completion of his mission, and a refutation of falsehood. His return will restore true monotheism and prepare the world for the final events before the Day of Judgment. #islam #muslimstory #islamichistory #islamicstory #shortsfeed #islam #islamicstory #islamicstorytelling #history #mystery #shorts #feedshorts #prophetstory
