Description
ABU ABDULLAH AL-QURTUBI has mentioned twenty three opinions regarding the derivation of this word; while the author of al-Qamus has extended it to fifty. This word is applied to someone who is either very truthful (al-Siddiq) or to someone who is a misguiding habitual liar (al-Dalil al-Kathab). Therefore, al-Masih (Messiah) ‘Isa ibn Maryam (‘alayhis-salam) is the very truthful; while al-Masih al-Dajjal is the misguiding habitual liar.
So Allah has created two messiahs, both are in complete contrast of to the other.
