I dont trust this article , Allahu Alem ,but first time I hear this about Dajal ,never read it in hadiths and first time I see that Iblis name was Azazil ..If there is no proof from the Hadiths about it ,then I wouldn't trust this information


waaleikum salam
Regarding your statement that you have never heard that Iblis was initially called Azazil, this is actually a fact stated by the Sahabah Ibn Mas'ud, Ibn 'Abbas, and other Companions Radiallahu Anhum as well as Sa'eed bin al-Musayyib. You can find this in Ibn Kathir's Qisas al-Anbiya.

Dajjal

Aslamu Alaikum,
We should not deny about which we are not sure, please read the following hadith .
Salim said, "Abd Allah ibn 'Omar said, The Prophet stood up to address the people. He praised Allah as He deserved to be praised, then he spoke about the Dajjal: 'I warn you against him; there is no Prophet who has not warned his people against him even Noah warned his people against him. But I will tell you something which no other Prophet has told his people. You must know that the Dajjal is one-eyed, and Allah is not one-eyed.'"

There is one more Hadith which gives evidence about Dajjal.....

Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) once gathered the Muslims in the masjid and said: "I have kept you here because Tamim ad-Dari, a Christian man who has embraced Islam, told me something which agrees with what I have told you about the Dajjal. He told me that he had sailed in a ship with thirty men from Banu Lakham and Banu Judham. The waves tossed them about for a month, then they came near an island at sunset. They approached the island on the ship's rafts, and landed. They were met by a beast that was so hairy that they could not tell its front from its back. They said: 'Woe to you! What are you?' It said: 'I am al-Jassasah.' They said: 'What is al-Jassasah?' It said: 'O people, go to this man in the monastery, for he is very eager to know about you,’” Tamim said that when it named a person to us we were afraid lest it be a devil. Tamim said: "We quickly went to the monastery. There we found a huge man with his hands tied up to his neck and with iron shackles between his legs up to the ankles. We said: 'Woe to you, who are you?' It said: 'You will soon know about me. Tell me who you are.' We said: 'We are people from Arabia. We sailed on a ship, but the waves have been tossing us about for a month, and they brought us to your island, where we met a beast which was so hairy that we could not tell its front from its back. We said to it: 'Woe to you what are you?' She said: 'I am al-Jassasah.' We asked: 'What is al-Jassasah?' and it told us: 'Go to this man in the monastery, for he is very eager to know about you.' So we came to you quickly, fearing that it might be a devil.' The man said: 'Tell me about the date-palms of Beisan.' We said: 'What do you want to know about them'?' He said: 'I want to know whether these trees bear fruits or not.' We said 'Yes'. He said: 'Soon they will not bear fruits.' Then he said: 'Tell me about the lake of Tabariyah (in Palestine).' We said: 'What do you want to know about it?' He said: 'Is there water in it'?' We said: 'There is plenty of water in it.' He said: 'Soon it will become dry.' Then he said: 'Tell me about the spring of Zughar.' We asked: 'What do you want to know about it'?' He asked: 'Is there water in it, and does it irrigate the land'?' We said: 'Yes, there is plenty of water in it, and the people use it to irrigate the land.' Then he said: 'Tell me about the illiterate Prophet [Muhammad], what has he done?' We said: 'He has left Makkah and settled in Yathrib (later Madinah).' He said: 'Do the Arabs fight against him'?' We said 'Yes'. He said: 'How does he deal with them'?' So we told him that Prophet Muhammad had overcome the Arabs around him and that they had followed him. He asked: 'Has it really happened?' We said yes. He said: 'It is better for them that they follow him. Now I will tell you about myself. I am the Dajjal. I will soon be permitted to leave this place: I will emerge and travel about the Earth. In forty nights, I will pass through every town, except Makkah and Madinah, for these have been forbidden to me. Every time I try to enter either of them, I will be met by an angel bearing an unsheathed sword, who will prevent me from entering. There will be angels guarding them at every passage leading to them.'” (Muslim).

AsalamThe Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's
Triangle, is a region in the western part of the
North Atlantic Ocean in which a number of
aircraft and surface vessels are alleged to have
mysteriously disappeared in a manner that
cannot be explained by human error, piracy,
equipment failure, or natural disasters. Popular
culture has attributed these disappearances to
the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of
physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings.
(wikipedia.org)
In short, things go in but don't come out. I got
more interested into this when one of my non-
muslim friends asked me what Islam had to say
about the Bermuda Triangle. First, I didn't really
think much of it and thought it was just another
myth, but after looking more into it, and
theories from other muslims and scholars (this is
all online, mind you, I don't get to contact
scholars personally very often), I thought
perhaps this is more than just folklore.
Note: Like my other thread about WW2 and War
on Terror, this is not thoroughly researched, just
a few bits put together that I thought I would
share.
The first theory was that this is the location of
the cave of Maseeh-ad-dajjal (Anti-Christ). The
following is a hadith narrated by Hadhrat
Fatimah RA
"So I went to stay with him, and when I had
completed my 'Iddah (period of waiting), I heard
the Prophet's announcer calling for
congregational prayer. I went out to the
mosque, and prayed behind the Prophet. I was
in the women's row, which was at the back of
the congregation. When the Prophet had
finished his prayer, he sat on the pulpit, smiling,
and said, 'Everyone should stay in his place.'
Then he said, 'Do you know why I had asked
you to assemble?' The people said, 'Allah and
His Messenger know best.' "He said, 'By Allah, I
have not gathered you here to give you an
exhortation or a warning. I have kept you here
because Tamim al-Dari, a Christian man who has
come and embraced Islam, told me something
which agrees with that which I have told you
about the Dajjal. He told me that he had sailed
in a ship with 30 men from Banu Lakhm and
Banu Judham. The waves had tossed them
about for a month, then they were brought near
to an island, at the time of sunset. They landed
on the island, and were met by a beast who was
so hairy that they could not tell its front from its
back.
They said, "Woe to you! What are you?" It said,
"I am al-Jassasah." They said, "What is al-
Jassasah?" It said, "O people, go to this man in
the monastery, for he is very eager to know
about you." Tamim said that when it named a
person to us, we were afraid lest it be a devil."
Tamim said, 'We quickly went to the monastery.
There we found a huge man with his hands tied
up to his neck and with iron shackles between
his legs up to the ankles. We said, "Woe to you,
who are you?" He said, "You will soon know
about me. Tell me who you are."
We said, "We are people from Arabia. We sailed
in a ship, but the waves have been tossing us
about for a month, and they brought us to your
island, where we met a beast who was so hairy
that we could not tell its front from its back. We
said to it, "Woe to you! What are you? and it
said , "I am al-Jassasah." We asked, "What is al-
Jassasah?" and it told us, "Go to this man in the
monastery, for he is very eager to know about
you." So we came to you quickly, fearing that it
might be a devil.'
"The man said, "Tell me about the date-palms
of Baysan.' We said, 'What do you want to know
about them?" He said, 'I want to know whether
these trees bear fruit or not.' We said, 'Yes.' He
said, 'Soon they will not bear fruit.' Then he
said, "Tell me about the lake of al-Tabariyyah
[Tiberias, in Palestine].' We said, 'What do you
want to know about it?" He asked, 'Is there
water in it?' We said, 'There is plenty of water in
it.' He said, 'Soon it will become dry.' Then he
said, 'Tell me about the spring of Zughar.' We
said, 'What do you want to know about it?' He
said, 'Is there water in it, and does it irrigate
the land?" We said, 'Yes, there is plenty of
water in it, and the people use it to irrigate the
land.' "Then he said, "Tell me about the
unlettered Prophet ' what has he done?' We
said, 'He has left Makkah and settled in
Yathrib.' He asked, 'Do the Arabs fight against
him?' We said, 'Yes.' He said, 'How does he deal
with them?' So we told him that the Prophet had
overcome the Arabs around him and that they
had followed him. He asked, 'Has it really
happened?' We said, 'Yes.' He said, 'It is better
for them if they follow him. Now I will tell you
about myself. I am the Dajjal. I will soon be
permitted to leave this place: I will emerge and
travel about the earth. In 40 nights I will pass
through every town, except Makkah and
Madina, for these have been forbidden to me.
Every time I try to enter either of them, I will be
met by an angel bearing an unsheathed sword,
who will prevent me from entering. There will
be angels guarding them at every passage
leading to them.'
Fatima said, "The Prophet striking the pulpit
with his staff, said: 'This is Tayyibah, this is
Tayyibah, this is Tayyibah, [ie Madina]. Have I
not told you something like this?' The people
said, 'Yes.' He said, 'I liked the account given to
me by Tamim because it agrees with that which
I have told you about the Dajjal, and about
Makkah and Madina. Indeed he is in the Syrian
sea or the Yemen sea. No, on the contrary, he is
in the East, he is in the East, he is in the East'
and he pointed towards the East. Fatima said: I
memorised this from the Prophet." (Muslim).
There was a fatwa where a scholar said he
personally believed that the dajjal was located
somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle. (He also
said not to take it as 100% proof, and Allah
knew best.) He quoted the same hadith as
above. The only problem I have is the last bit of
that hadith, where it says "he is in the East, he
is in the East, he is in the East' and he pointed
towards the East". Perhaps im missing
something that the scholar knows.
The other theory, is that is where Shaytan and
the devils reside and plot. Proof;
Jabir reported that Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said: Iblis places his throne
upon water; he then sends detachments (for
creating dissension) ; the nearer to him in rank
are those who are most notorious in creating
dissension. One of them comes and says: I did
so and so. And he says: You have done nothing.
Then one amongst them comes and says: I did
not spare so and so until I sowed the seed of
discord between a husband and a wife. The
satan goes near him and says: 'You have done
well. A'mash said: He then embraces him. (Book
#039, Hadith #6755)u alaikum

Why would Islam not be okay with it?

Things in the Bermuda Triangle don't ''vanish'' they get put out of site or disintegrate for many reasons, some known by science, some being pursued by science. That's all.
