This advice, as well as his prayer for shelter in Allah from
the fitnah caused by the dajjal, is a guide for Muslims. Muslims
from different sects and races ask Allah during their five daily
prayers to protect them from the dajjal's evil. As the hadith
reveal, the prayer that our beloved Prophet (saas) taught to
believers is as follows:

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (saas) said: When any
one of you utters tashahhud (in prayer) he must seek refuge with

Messiah al-dajjal and the Sufyan). Aware of the immense scale of
the dajjal's trial, Muslims seek Allah's protection with this prayer
in their own daily prayers. This shows that Muslims are spiritu-
ally prepared for the dajjal. However, the most important prepa-
ration to be taken against the dajjal is exactly the one that must
be taken to prepare for the Prophet Jesus' (as) coming.
In one respect, the second coming of the Prophet Jesus (as)
will manifest the fact that this prayer has been answered. This is
because the hadith reveal that the dajjal's trial can only be done
away with by the Prophet Jesus' (as) return to Earth, and that
when the dajjal sees the Prophet Jesus (as), "he will dissolve like
