My daughter asked me: Since the matter of the Dajjal is known and our Prophet clarified it for us, how will people from among Muslims follow him when he emerges? I told her: Among the punishments for sins is forgetting beneficial knowledge, and I recalled Ibn Taymiyyah's statement in Majmu' al-Fatawa: (Among the sins is what is a cause for the concealment of beneficial knowledge or part of it, rather it is a cause for forgetting what was learned and for confusing truth with falsehood). We saw "scholars" fall into the very thing they used to warn people against and deceived people regarding the nation's crucial issues, until it is as if they were made to forget what they used to say completely. Our Lord, save us from tribulations.
