  Brad Staff asked about Ad-Dajjal, such as where is the reference
 found.  I found quite a bit about him in Ahadith.
 Dajjal is Anti-Christ.
 In my previous posting, I had written a few things, such as 
 he is gonna be one-eyed, he will be playing a musical 
 instrument etc. Please disregard those things as those were
 from my memory, of what I had heard in my childhood. 
 I will present now, what I find in the Hadeeth. (Probably
 in parts).

	Hazrat Abu Huraira (R.A.A) states that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.)
 	said: Lose no time to do good work before you are caught up by 
 	one of the seven calamities. Then by way of warning he recounted, 
	a starvation which may impair your wisdom, or a prosperity which may 
	mislead you, or an ailment which may damage your health, or an old
	age which may harm your senses, or a sudden death or the appearance 
	of Dajjal (Antichrist). All  these are bad events which may be awaited;
	or the Doomsday, but this day is indeed very hard and bitter.
