This brief teaching carries a clear warning: before the promised appearance of the Mahdi, lesser deceivers – false Dajjals – will emerge to mislead the faithful. They will make attractive promises, especially about food and material comfort, and many will fall into their traps, to their spiritual ruin.
The message recalls the counsel of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to remain vigilant and not chase after anything that lacks divine legitimacy. Those who follow such deceptions surrender their inner selves to weakness; those whose self-control is already fragile become even more vulnerable, and even the strong-willed may fall if they ignore the clear path of truth. Allah has given humanity reason, so the straight way is evident; every turn toward falsehood only takes us further from divine guidance. May Allah protect us all from these hidden harms.
