The emergence of the Dajjal is a significant event linked to the end times before Qiyamah or resurrection. The Dajjal will be a great trial for humanity. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) taught us various dua for protection from Dajjal to shield ourselves from the fitnah (trial) of the Dajjal.

If anyone memorizes the first ten verses of the Surah al-Kahf, he will be protected from the Dajjal (Antichrist). Sahih Muslim 809

The Dua that the Prophet (SAW) Used to Recite to Seek Refuge from Dajjal
The prophet Muhammad (SAW) used to recite and also instructed ummah to recite this dua:
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيْحِ الدَّجَّالِ
Allāhumma Inī A’ūdhu bika min fitnatil masīhid dajjāl
(O Allah! I seek refuge with You from the affliction of Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal.)
Sahih Bukhari 6376
In the face of the ultimate trial, the dua for protection from the Dajjal is a powerful tool for every believer. By consistently reciting this supplication, we not only follow the guidance of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) but also strengthen our connection with Allah, seeking His divine protection.
