Is Dajjal coming? The videos which are becoming increasingly viral on social media with keywords like 'Dajjal Coming Soon', 'Signs of Dajjal' and 'Qayamat Near' have created both fear and curiosity among the people, but the simple and fact based answer is that till now there is no authentic sign or confirmation which proves that the process of arrival of Dajjal has started.
Dajjal is definitely mentioned in Islamic beliefs, where he is described as a great deceiver who comes before the Doomsday, but this is a concept related to the future and different scholars have different interpretations about it.

The problem starts when on platforms like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok, claims are made through hadith, edited videos and sensationalist titles without any context that 'End Time has started' or 'Dajjal is about to come', while these claims have no solid religious or factual basis.
In this era of social media, it is actually all about algorithms and user behavior. Content related to fear and mystery gets the most clicks and shares, so platforms reach more people.
In recent times, a narrative is being created by linking things like war, economic uncertainty, natural disasters and Artificial Intelligence (AI) that these are 'Signs of Dajjal', whereas the truth is that such incidents have been present in different forms in every period of history. The signs mentioned in religious texts, such as the increase of lies, moral decline or spread of confusion, are broad and open to multiple interpretations, so it is not considered correct to link every current event directly to 'Qayamat'.
Many modern scholars see Dajjal not just as a person but also as a symbol, a force that blurs the line between truth and lie. If we look at today's digital era from this perspective, then the rapid spread of Deepfake, AI-generated content and Fake News definitely indicates that the information crisis has become deeper than before, but to directly link it to the conclusion that Dajjal has arrived or is about to come, is a wrong and hasty conclusion.
From the perspective of credibility, only the information on this subject that comes from authentic religious sources, established Islamic scholars and research-based interpretations is valid. Accepting viral clips, unknown pages or unsourced videos on social media as the ultimate truth is not only misleading but sometimes also creates unnecessary fear. In such matters, which are related to both faith and fear, balance and understanding are most important.
In the end, the truth is that Dajjal is definitely mentioned in religious traditions, but the trend of 'Dajjal Coming' that is going on on social media is more of a viral narrative than reality, which is based on fear, curiosity and clickbait. In such a situation, the most sensible step is to check every information, trust authentic sources and do not let unnecessary fear dominate us, because in today's digital age, the biggest deception is that which looks like the truth, but is not.
