The Qur'an Dajjal And The Jasad

by Imran N. Hosein

This book is devoted to a study of the Jasad, whom the Prophet-King Solomon (’alayhisalam) saw sitting on his throne, and the first problem we encounter in this study is that neither the Qur’an nor the Prophet Muhammad’s (sallalahu ‘alayhi wasallam) Hadith explain who this Jasad truly is.This book has, therefore, been written with the specific purpose of inviting a scholarly response to this subject of the Jasad, from those who defend the salafi methodology, as well as those who defend the methods by which the Qur’an is studied in the Dar al-Ulum...Imran N. Hosein was born in Trinidad, West Indes. He studied under the guidance of the distinguished scholar of Islam, Maulana Dr. Fadlur Rahman Ansari, at the Aleemiyah Institute of Islamic Studies, Karachi, Pakistan. He is also a post-graduate of Philosophy from the Karachi University of West Indes, and a Post Graduate of International Relations from the University of the West Indes, Trinidad and the Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva, Switzerland.

With All The Notions Out There Regarding Dajjal (Anti Christ) How He Would Emerge, Does The Quran Talk About Dajjal?
It's Link With Modern Day Jerusalem...

And Most Importantly Understanding, Reciting Quran & Praying Salah To Heal Your Self.

Find All That & More In This Book.

[Ahmed Ryan · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Quran embodies two distinct types of verses: some have clear meanings, and others are more mysterious, known only to Almighty Allah. Hypocrites twist these verses to create arguments among Muslims. This book aims to encourage new interpretations of these Quranic verses and criticizes both the hypocrites and those who refuse to consider these new ideas, limiting their understanding of the Quran.

Once, Suleiman (peace be upon him) had a dream where he saw a soulless body (Jasad) sitting on his throne, a test from Allah. After the dream, Suleiman (peace be upon him) regretted his actions and asked Allah for a kingdom that no one else would ever have. Scholars have different views on these verses. Certain interpretations propose that the Jasad could have been Suleiman's (peace be upon him) deceased son, concealed in the clouds by Suleiman (peace be upon him) himself to shield him from the influence of the Jinns. Furthermore, Suleiman (peace be upon him) supplicated to Allah to ensure that no one else would be bestowed with such a magnificent kingdom. However, this book explores the idea that the Jasad might be the Dajjal, and Suleiman (peace be upon him) asked Allah for a unique kingdom because he feared the Jasad could inherit it.

Allah knows best.

Quite an interesting one with a lot to ponder at.
God bless the scholars who genuinely invested their lives in Quran and it's endless ocean of meaning!

P.s I do not understand why would Shiekh Imran add an Ahmadiyyah so called scholar's interpretation of Quran to the Appendix?
No non-Muslim can present a commentary of the Quran and no Muslim let alone a Muslim scholar should quote the so-called commentary coming from one.
