What is the relationship between the Dajjal (Antichrist) — born to a father and mother — and the man in the island who appears for a limited period? And is the state of possession that afflicts a human being the same as the "stroke of wrath" that results in the tearing of the ear and the appearance of the word "kafir" (disbeliever) on the forehead?

It has been reported that the Dajjal is described as a one-eyed man, short, wide-legged (or with legs wide apart), curly-haired, red (or reddish in complexion), corpulent, whose eyes sleep but his heart does not. It was also reported in the description of his parents that his father is a tall man with a fleshy build, as if his nose is a beak, and his mother is a stout woman with long breasts. The Dajjal will emerge out of a rage that he himself harbors, and he is a human being, not a symbol of European civilization.
