Tradition indicates that al-Dajjāl is expected to appear either in the East, possibly Khorāsān, or in the West.
According to sailors' lore and the tale of Sindbad the Sailor, he is also said to be somewhere in the East Indies, on an island from which the sounds of dancing and beautiful music emanate.
Therefore, the exact location of Dajjal's rise is uncertain, with possibilities including:
- The East (potentially Khorāsān)
- The West
- An island in the East Indies
