Dajjal in Pakistan | Astola Island | Sahih Muslim 2942 |

Al-Masih ad-Dajjal (Arabic: ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱلدَّجَّالُ, romanized: al-Masīḥ ad-Dajjāl, lit. 'Deceitful Messiah'),[1] otherwise referred to simply as the Dajjal, is an evil figure in Islamic eschatology who will pretend to be the promised Messiah and later claim to be God, appearing before the Day of Judgment according to the Islamic eschatological narrative.[1][2] The word Dajjal is not mentioned in the Quran, but he is mentioned and described in the ḥadīth literature.[1] Like in Christianity, the Dajjal is said to emerge out in the east, although the specific location varies among the various sources.[3] The Dajjal will imitate the miracles performed by ʿĪsā (Jesus), such as healing the sick and raising the dead, the latter done with the aid of devils (Shayāṭīn). He will deceive many people, such as weavers, magicians, half-castes, and children of fornication.[3]
