The world is worried about the birth, or to be more exact, about the appearance of the first cloned child. The reaction varied so much. Mainly it was negative. But there were some approvals as well. Cloning was conducted by the Raeliant sect, named after another false prophet named Rael.

It seems to me that it must be treated just as the creation of weapons of mass destruction, as the AIDS virus, for an example, as inevitable evil brought by the mankind while deviating from the Laws and from the Morals, from the religion of the Creator of the Worlds further and further. Because:

You can’t forget that Allah brings punishment through opening the way to something destructive too, when people show unrestrained persistent yearning for something banned or something sinful, in spite of the Creator’s warnings. The way of life and «freedom» that the mankind started rushing to under the banner of the democratic plague, with legalizing anything that was prohibited by Allah, and with banning and persecuting whatever He had allowed or even obligated a man to do, could not have led to anything else.

The will and the freedom of choice that Allah has endowed a man with were accepted as permissiveness. And the postulate of «there is no compulsion in religion» was accepted as the right to deny God and spread godlessness among the mankind.

The religion of atheism that became an ideology of a civilized man is the primary reason for this and for other pestilential phenomena that have been haunting the mankind especially from the 20th century. And one may assume that further down the line these infirmities of the mankind will sharply increase, directly proportional to our fall. For Allah adjusts His punishment to our evil deeds.

And this was foretold to the mankind by all Holy Scriptures, especially by the Holy Koran. Those who are persistent in their delusions, We will strengthen in their delusions, as the Koran warns us. Moreover, the Koran points out that punishment in this life as well as punishment on the Day of Judgment awaits those people.

The Rael sect has not discovered anything new and could not have discovered period. Because after the Koran and the last Prophet (peace be upon him) were sent down, nothing happens to the mankind that cannot be explained. Except for what can confirm the truth of the Koran and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

You can recall about a lot of things from the chapters (Ayahs) of the Holy Koran and from the Hadith of the Prophet where warnings about such phenomena were given. The most graphic was the Hadith about the advent of Dajjal (or Antichrist in Christian tradition). If you compare cloning to what Dajjal will be doing, and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warned about the inevitable advent of Dajjal, by Allah’s permission, then cloning is just nothing compared to what will come. Even the information that in the future clones will be created within a few hours is nothing compared to the abilities of the one whom Allah will send to test the faith in the true Creator. Let me quote a part of the story about Dajjal, which was compiled from reliable Hadith of the Prophet, i.e. from the group of Hadith about Dajjal.

In the name of ALLAH, most Beneficent, most Merciful.

All the glory belongs to Allah, the Ruler of the Worlds, Who has created them and provided them with all things necessary. After creating human beings, Allah sent His chosen ones, His messengers to them – the prophets, so that they could admonish them to follow the righteous way and warn them against any detestable things; and He told through them that the people are obligated to worship Him and not to ascribe any companions to Him, and that this would be an unforgivable sin before Allah. Allah warned the people that He would send ordeals upon them to test the firmness of their Iman (their faith).

One of such tests is the advent of Masih Dajjal. Our Prophet, peace be upon him, was very concerned about this testing of his Ummah (nation), because this will be the harshest ordeal out of all of the ordeals that had already happened or that will ever happen upon the Earth. Therefore he, peace be upon him, instructed us to beware of that ordeal and seek help from Allah, since there is no other protection but Him and he ordered us to perform everyday Dua prayer and to say the following:

«O Allah, I ask Thee to protect me from the punishment of the grave. I ask Thee to protect me from temptations of Masih Dajal. I ask Thee to protect me from ordeals of life and from ordeals of death. O Allah! I ask Thee to protect me from crimes and from debt».

Because of the extreme danger of Masih Dajjal, the Prophet, peace be upon him, spoke a lot about him. I would like to narrate a story that was compiled by Sheikh Albani from reliable Hadiths of the Prophet, peace be upon him, about the Prophet, - may Allah reward him for his work. To make it easier for the readers I will leave out the names of those who transmitted the Hadith.

«O people! Indeed, there will be no harsher ordeal upon the Earth since the moment Allah created humans and until the Day of Judgment than the test by Dajjal. Not a single soul was delivered from it unless it got saved from it! Indeed, he will not harm a Muslim».

«Allah ordered all prophets, peace be upon them, to inform their nations about the cross-eyed Dajjal, and I am informing you about him».

«I am the last of the prophets, and you are the last Ummat (nation)».

«There is no doubt that he will come out of your midst, this is the truth, indeed, this is near, because everything that comes is near. Indeed, he will come out because of anger that will make him mad. He will not come out until people will start dividing their inheritance and rejoicing over their spoils».

«If he comes out while I am still alive, I will be a defender of every Muslim, but if he comes out after me, then everybody will have to defend themselves on their own; Allah is my successor for every Muslim».

The Hadith transmitted by Um-Salama says: «And if he comes out after me, Allah will protect you with the pious ones. Indeed, he will appear from the East, from the land named Harasan, between Syria and Iraq, out of the midst of the Asbakhan Jews, and 70 thousand will follow him. Their faces will be as brazen as a hammer. He will be raging left and right. O servants of Allah, be steadfast. O servants of Allah, be steadfast! I will describe him to you as none of the prophets has described him ever before».

The Hadith of Ubad says: «Indeed, I have told you about Dajjal when I was afraid that you would not understand».

«He will start from saying that he is a prophet, but there will be no prophets after me».

«Then he will say: ‘I am your lord’, - know that you will not see your Lord until you die».

«He will be cross-eyed, his left eye will be covered with a big meaty tumor like a bright green star. His right eye will be like a grape, not bulging, yet not sunken either, and his hair will be thick».

«So remember, nothing about him is a secret to you. Indeed, you will recognize him! Your Lord is not cross-eyed. So remember, nothing about him is a secret to you. Indeed, you will recognize him! Your Lord is not cross-eyed. (He repeated it three times)». And he pointed at his eye. «You will not see your Lord until you die».

«He will be walking upon the Earth. Indeed, the Heaven and the Earth belong to Allah. He… curly-haired young man, looking like Asi, the son of Kutn,… bow-legged, dark eyes, white eyeballs, pale».

«He will be swarthy, curly-haired with thick hair».

«The word «Kafir» (infidel) will be written between his eyes, anyone who does not like his doings will be able to read it, or every Mumin (true believer) will be able to read it – whether a scholar or an ignoramus».

«Indeed, it will be tempting that he will have paradise and hell with him, river, water and mountains of bread. (Indeed, the semblance of paradise and hell will be with him). His hell is paradise and his paradise is hell». Mugira, the son of Shaab asked about it. He (Prophet, peace be upon him) answered: «I said that they say mountains of bread, meat and rivers of water are with him?» He said: «This is the easiest of them before Allah».

Another Hadith says: «He will have two flowing rivers – one of them is what the eye sees – white water, and the other one is what the eye sees – a burning flame. Any one of you who will live until that comes and will want water – let him drink what will seem to be fire, let him close his eyes and bow his head – he will find that it will be pure, sweet and cold water, and let him not rejoice».

Another Hadith says: «Whoever enters his river will lose all the reward and his sin will stay firm on him; whoever enters the fire – his reward will stay firm on him and his sins will be taken away from him».

«On whomever the test of fire befalls – let him ask Allah for help and read the beginning of the Surah (chapter) Kahf – it will be his protection from his temptations».

«Indeed, a temptation for a Bedouin will be if he (Dajjal) asks him: «If I bring your parents back to life, will you believe that I am your Lord?» He will say: «Yes». Then two demons (shaitans) will appear before him looking like his parents and they will say: ‘O sonny! Follow him, he is your lord!’

Also, another temptation will be that he will grab one man, kill him and cut him in half with a saw».

«Another temptation will be when he will come to one block and they will reject him, and after he leaves all animals will die there».

«Another temptation will be when he will come to one block and call upon them, and they will believe in him and follow him, then he will order the heavens so that the rain starts pouring and the rain will start, and he will order the earth so that plants start growing and plants will sprout, and cattle will start grazing, and they will be gaining fat and increase their milk yields as never before».

«When he will walk among the ruins he will say: «Yield your treasures!» And all the treasures of that land will come out and follow him, like a swarm of bees».

«His advent will coincide with the time when people will be separated, split up, embittered, far away from the religion and alien to one another. He will walk all over and for him the entire earth will curl up as a skin of a ram».

Dajjal will only come out after the Byzantines gather together in Aamak or in Dabik and will march against Islam. And Muslims will get together to fight with them. That day the army of the best people on Earth will come out of Medina. And when they line up against each other, the Byzantines will say: «Leave us alone with those who conquered us». The Muslims will say: «We swear by Allah! We will not leave our brothers alone with you».

And a battle will start between them. In that battle a great apostasy will take place. The Muslims will lay down the conditions: death or victory. And the battle will last until the night separates them. Both sides will break up with no victory, and again the conditions will not be fulfilled. Then the Muslims will lay the condition again: death or victory. And the battle will break out until the night. And then again both of them will break up with no victory. And again the condition will not be fulfilled. And on the fourth day the rest of the Muslims will start a battle.

The third of the Muslims will not be able to stand it and will turn back – Allah will never accept their repentance after that. Another third of the Muslims will die – these will be the best of Shaheeds before Allah, and the last third part of them will win – these are the ones who will withstand and win, after that they will never be tempted by any seductions.

Allah will make the Byzantines defeated. And a battle will happen against them, as it was said – either such a battle will never ever happen afterwards or such a battle will never have happened before, - the battle so great that even birds flying over decayed corpses will drop dead from exhaustion and never make it to the end of the battlefield.

Out of a hundred sons of a father only one will remain. What kind of spoils can he rejoice, or which part of his inheritance will he divide?

Constantinople will be reconquered.

One Hadith says: «Have you heard that a part of it is on land and another part of it is on a seaside?» They answered: «Yes, o Prophet!» Then he said: «The Judgment Day will not come until 70 thousand sons of Isaac will march off against it. And when they come to it, they will not fight with their weapons. They will say: ‘La illaha ilallah, wa llohu akbar» («There is no deity but God and God is great!») and the seaside part of it will fall. Then they will say it again and the second part of it will fall. Then they will say it for the third time and it will be totally liberated and they will enter it and take the spoils».

«At the moment when they will be dividing the spoils after they hang their sabers on olive-trees, a shaitan will yell: «Indeed, Masih Dajjal has come out in your lands!» They will drop all their spoils and march off. It will not be right. They will send ten horsemen in the vanguard. Prophet, peace be upon him, said: ‘I know their names, the names of their fathers, the colors of their horses, they will be the best horsemen in those days’. And when they reach Syria, Dajjal will come out».

«There will not be a single spot on the Earth left where he will not set his foot. And he will win a victory everywhere except for four mosques: the Mosque of Mecca, the Mosque of Medina, Mount Tor and Al-Aqsa Mosque».

“He will stay on the Earth for forty days. One day will be like a year, one day like a month, then one day like a week, then the rest of the days will be just like normal days».

«The disciples asked: ‘The day that will be like a year, will the prayer of one day be enough?’ He said: ‘No, it will have to be calculated and divided.’ They asked: ‘How fast will it be upon the Earth?’ He said: ‘Like a rain rushed by wind!’»

«Before Dajjal comes out there will be three hard years. During these years a severe starvation will befall the mankind. During the first year Allah will order the heavens to withhold the third of the annual precipitation, and He will order the Earth to withhold the third of the annual crops. Then during the second year He will order to withhold 2/3 or the annual precipitation, and He will order the Earth to withhold 2/3 of the crops. Then during the third year He will order the heavens to totally stop the precipitation, and not a single drop of rain will fall upon the Earth; and He will order the Earth not to yield a single plant and not a single green plant will sprout. Not a single even-toed animal will remain, except for what Allah will want to. And they asked him, peace be upon him: ‘So what will people eat during that time?’ He said: ‘Taflil, Takbir, Tasbih, Tahmid – that will be instead of food for them.’»

«At all entrances of Mecca and Medina he will be met by angels with unsheathed swords».

«There will not be a single city that will avoid fear of Masih Dajjal, except for Medina. On that day there will be seven doors and two angels will be standing at each one of them, driving off fear of Masih».

«Then he will stop on the salt-marsh behind Mount Uhud and set up a tent there. The population of Medina will experience three earthquakes and all hypocrites, men and women, will come out to him. And it will be cleansed from vermin like iron cleansed by bellows, and that day will be considered the day of cleansing. Women will be among the majority of those who will come out to him».

«A young man, a Mumin (a true believer) will head to him, he will be the best of men or one of the best. Dajjal’s guards will meet him. They will say to him: ‘Where are you heading?’ He will say: ‘To the one who came out’. They will ask him: ‘Do you not believe in our lord?’ He will say: ‘Our Lord is not concealed’. They will say: ‘Kill him’. One of them will say to the others: ‘Didn’t our lord prohibit to kill anybody without his consent?’

They will bring him to Dajal. When the Mumin sees him, he will say: ‘O people! I testify that he is the Dajjal that the Messenger of Allah was telling us about, peace be upon him’. And then Dajjal will order to beat him: ‘Take him and beat him till he bleeds!’ And they will beat him from the front and from the back. Then they will ask him: ‘Do you not believe me?’ Then he will tell him: ‘You are Masih Dajjal’.»

«Dajjal will say: ‘What do you think, if I kill him and then bring him back to life, will you have any doubts remaining about my deed?’ They will say: ‘No’. Then on his order he will be sawn in two, from his head down to his perineum. (Another Hadith says that he will be cut in half by a sword.) Then Dajjal will go over his halves and say: ‘Get up’. And he will get up, stand up straight and smile saying «Lailahiilallah» (There is no deity but God). And again he will ask him: ‘Do you believe me?’ and he will say: ‘I swear by Allah, I have only made sure of who you are!’ – and then he will turn to people and say: ‘O people! Indeed he will not do so to anybody else after me!’ Then Dajjal will grab him so that he could knife him and pass a piece of copper between his neck and his collarbone, but he will not be able to harm him».

Then he will grab him by his arms and his legs and people will think that he threw him into fire, but he will throw him into paradise. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: ‘This man has the greatest degree of Jihad before the Lord of the Worlds’.»

We must not forget that anything that is given to us upon this Earth is mainly to test us before the Everlasting Life. And Dajjal will be the last and the greatest of the earthly tests. And cloning and other machinations of Raels and other followers of Satan, who use the talent and the knowledge given by Allah (subhanullah wa taala– praise be upon Him) to satisfy the inhuman pride and morbid imagination of poor apostates, is only a foretoken. But on the other hand, for the ones who wish to comprehend the truth about God this present case with cloning shows that the Koran is the true word of our Creator, and Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His last Prophet. Whoever wants to save his soul – let him repent and turn under the mercy of Allah, the Creator of all worlds.
