What are the ways to be protected from the Dajjal, and what are the supplications or Quranic recitations that are beneficial for that?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Prophet (PBUH) guided his Ummah to that which would protect it from the tribulation of the Dajjal, and among those are:

Adhering to Islam and the weapon of Tawhid (monotheism), and knowing Allah by His names and attributes, so that one may know that the Dajjal is a human being and his claim to divinity is false. Seeking refuge with Allah from his tribulation, especially in prayer. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to supplicate: "O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge with You from the tribulation of the Masih ad-Dajjal." Memorizing ten verses from the beginning of Surah Al-Kahf or its end. The Prophet (PBUH) said: "Whoever memorizes ten verses from the beginning of Surah Al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjal." Fleeing from the Dajjal and keeping away from him, because of the extraordinary feats and doubts he possesses. The Prophet (PBUH) said: "Whoever hears of the Dajjal, let him keep away from him. For by Allah, a man will come to him, thinking he is a believer, and will follow him because of the doubts he presents."
