SECTION 1

Who and What is Dajjal in Islam?

In Islam, Dajjal (Arabic: الدجّال) means “the great deceiver”. Many imagine him as a monster or sorcerer who appears before the Day of Judgment. But according to the Qur’an, Hadith, and the teachings of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Dajjal is a symbol of widespread religious deception and materialism, not a one-eyed superhuman.

“Dajjal is one who covers truth with falsehood.”

SECTION 2

What Does the Qur’an Say About Dajjal?

Interestingly, the word Dajjal is not directly mentioned in the Qur’an, but it refers to Dajjal indirectly through symbols and verses—especially in Surah Al-Kahf (Chapter 18). The Prophet ﷺ said:

Whoever memorizes the first ten verses (or the last ten) of Surah Al-Kahf will be protected from the trial of Dajjal.

Sahih Muslim 809

🧠 Clear Signs from The Holy Quran:

1. 18:4 – "Warn those who say: Allah has taken a son."

This directly refers to Christian belief in Jesus as the Son of God, the root of Dajjal's falsehood.
2. 18:103-104 – "Shall We inform you of the greatest losers in deeds? Those whose efforts went astray in worldly life while thinking they did well."

Refers to nations obsessed with material progress but blind to spiritual truth.
3. 18:94-99 – Mentions Gog and Magog (Ya’juj & Ma’juj), powers that break barriers and spread all over the world. These are linked with Dajjal as global forces of unrest and corruption.
