Summary

The emergence of the Dajjal is certain and may not be denied. He will come out from the east, from Khurasan, and enter every place except Makkah and Madinah, which are guarded by angels. The exact time of his appearance is unknown as it is among the unseen matters, though it is one of the major signs of the Last Day. On why the word Dajjal is absent from the Qur'an, the view preferred is that he is included in the verse on the signs of the Lord (al-An'am:158), as explained by a hadith in Muslim.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Muncul atau keluarnya Dajjal adalah satu kepastian dan kita tidak boleh sama sekali mengingkarinya.
