“Those who resist and confront the cursed Dajjal, their honor, prestige and reward will be the same as the Shaheed (martyrs) of Badr and Ohud.”Abu Horayra (RA), Bokhari, Moslem.
The entire episode of the Dajjal is extremely important, especially so because no other event in the history of mankind can compare to the magnitude of this one event, this has been certified by the Messenger of Allah himself. This particular Hadis bears special message, good tidings for us, the people of the present day, also it contains some extraordinary points to be noted. The highest reward among the Mo’mens of this Din has been retained for martyrs (Shaheeds), for no sooner does their souls leave the body than paradise is granted to them. The highest position of prestige is also reserved for them as it is not allowed to refer to them as dead people, though they do not walk on this earth anymore. Besides these, there are some other specialties bestowed on them that Allah has not even granted His Messengers, not to speak of general Mo’mens, either, e.g. there is no need to bathe or enshroud them in the traditional ‘kafon’ for burial, they have been exempted from the janaja or pre-burial prayer and also from the interrogation by the Malayeks in the grave. These rewards, recognition and honor belong only to the league of Shaheeds, those who embrace death to establish His Din, His way of life on this earth.
