Dajjal

Al-Masih ad-Dajjal, otherwise referred to simply as the Dajjal, is an antagonistic figure in Islamic eschatology who will pretend to be the promised Messiah and later claim to be God, appearing before the Day of Judgment. He will also be one of the 10 major signs according to the Islamic eschatological narrative. The Dajjal is not mentioned in the Quran but is mentioned and described in the Hadith. Corresponding to the Antichrist in Christianity, the Dajjal is said to emerge out in the East although the specific location varies among the various sources.
