How will the Dajjal resurrect the dead even though resurrecting the dead is an act of Allah Almighty that will only occur on the Day of Resurrection?
One of the fundamental principles of Islamic creed is that Allah alone is the Giver of life and the Bringer of death. It is an act of disbelief (kufr) to claim that anyone other than Allah possesses this power. Allah has indeed enabled the Dajjal to bring a dead person back to life, not through his own power, but by Allah's permission. This represents a trial and tribulation for His servants. Just as Allah enabled Jesus (peace be upon him) to bring the dead back to life and to cure the blind and the leper by His permission, so too has Allah enabled the Dajjal to perform some extraordinary feats. However, the difference is that Jesus attributed these acts to Allah's power and permission, while the Dajjal attributes them to himself. The clear imperfections in the Dajjal, such as his being one-eyed and having "Kafir" (disbeliever) written on his forehead, demonstrate the falsehood of his claim. There is no validity to what has been mentioned in some weak hadiths that the Dajjal's actions are mere magic and illusion; rather, his signs and extraordinary feats are real, but Allah has placed within them indications of his falsehood.
