Many people claim that dajjal is not a person but rather he will be a system which they believe is the current western liberal and materialistic system. When this was asked from Sheikh Saalih he replied that from the ahadith it becomes clear that Dajjal is not a system rather he will be a human.
[junkie-alert style=”green”] Prophet (PBUH) said: Whilst I was sleeping, I saw myself performing Tawaaf around the Ka’bah and I saw a ruddy-complexioned man, well built, with curly hair, blind in his right eye, with his eye looking like a floating grape. I asked, “Who is this?” They said, “This is the Dajjaal.” (Bukhaari, no. 6508)[/junkie-alert]
There are many other narrations which make it clear that he will be a man, but it should also be noted that he will be leading a nation and a army which means he will also establish his system which diverts people from worshipping one GOD.
He is chained at an island and will be freed when Allah wills, then he will emerge leading an army against Muslims and will be defeated by Prophet Musa (Alayhi as salam).
