Will the Dajjal (Antichrist) traverse the entire Earth, or will people come to him, and will he encounter all of humanity, or can some escape from him?

The Antichrist (Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal) will emerge from the East, from Khorasan, and will travel the entire Earth except for Mecca, Medina, Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Mosque of Tur. He will not be able to enter these places because the angels guard them.
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded us to stay away from him due to fear of his tribulation. Whoever encounters him should recite the opening verses of Surat Al-Kahf, for they will be a protection for him from his tribulation.
