How can one person be so powerful? How can one person be all the above?
If we look at what technology we have today and where its heading it should scare us a little and we should be taking warning.
What do you get if you combine all the technology into one?
"Dajaal will cut a person in half and put him back together again" - Even with todays technology we see that its possible to cut off a body part and join it back together.
"Dajaal will show you fire and it wont burn you" - even today they can show you a fire on a huge screen with surround sound, with 3d glasses and you will feel like the fire is surrounding you...but it wont burn you. They can produce holograms that depict fire that wont burn you. Dajaal is all about illusion....holograms can achieve that
Dajaal will claim to know everything" - Even sat on your computer right now you have access to all the worlds knowledge to a certain extenct, so hard would it be for an AI creation gone wrong to pluginto the internet and know everything? So the dajaal will need the internet, facebook social media and analyse all that to gain hold each individual.
"Dajaal can be in many different places at the same time" - Today you can broadcast on Youtube Live and you can be in thousand of different places around the world at the same time.
"Dajaal will claim to be the messiah" - If we look at previous prophets they all convinced alot of people they were messengers by performing miracles or grand gestures. The Dajaal will also performs tasks probably using technology and thus claim to be the messiah. HE will make it rain in desserts etc... but even today we can produce artificial rain just need big rain making machines.
Asalaamualaykum,
Dear brother - If you an insinuating or under the impression that Dajjal is a technology in action then you are incorrect.
You are using your Nafs to interpret Hadith and Quran.
Please speak to a scholar regarding this issue at hand. Dajjal is exactly as Rasool SAW has described and that was the understanding of the illustrious Sahaba that Dajjal is a person/ living element. To say what you saying will lead one to the conclusion that the understanding of the Sahaba was incorrect and that your understanding is correct. That type of thinking in itself is a major sin.
The Arabs of that time had as much of a metaphorical imagination as we do today (A simple read on Arab philosophy and poetry) will prove that - yet the Sahaba never imagined Dajjal to be a metaphor but rather a stark reality of the exactness of how Rasool SAW described him.
Speak to a Scholar and you will learn that the Sahaba themselves believed Dajjal to be a person. One of the beloved wives of Rasool SAW, Hz Sauda RA herself had a great fear for Dajjal and even the hearing of stampedes from animals or even the mentioning of Dajjal threw her in great fear.
If you believe or any other "Scholar" believes Dajjal to even possibly be "digital" then in itself is an insult on thousands of Sahaba for fearing Dajjal in utter vain. How insulting is that to the best of generations that knew Islam better than anyone today and took knowledge directly from Rasool SAW himself !!
Don't portray your Nafs as part of the deen.
