The Islamic scripture describes Dajjal and some facts about him, such as how he will look and how 70,000 Jews will follow him, but he will not be able to enter Madina. All 124,000 of Allah’s prophets warned their people about the Fitnah of Dajjal (Antichrist). 3337 Sahih al-Bukhari. In Arabic, the name Dajjal means “deception.” The Holy Bible refers to it as Antichrist.
How does Dajjal appear? Muslims are well aware of Dajjal’s description, which includes the fact that he will be blind in one eye.

They will tell you, ‘No.’ Then Dajjal will kill that man and resurrect him. That man will say, ‘Now I know your reality better than I did before.’ ‘I want to kill him, but I can’t,’ Ad-Dajjal will say. 1882, Sahih al-Bukhari
