The Return of the Prophet Jesus (as) After
The Emergence of False Prophets
It is known that, throughout history, there have been many
false prophets. For the purpose of their own gain, these kinds of
impostors have resorted to deceit, exploiting people’s naiveté.
Also in the hadiths, it is revealed that false prophets will appear
before Judgment Day.
The Last Hour will not come before there come forth
thirty dajjals (imposters), each presenting himself as an
apostle of Allah.
(Abu Dawood)
The above hadith reminds us of developments in our own day.
By taking advantage of the hopes of Muslims and Christians about
the second coming of the Prophet Jesus (as), a number of deceivers
have claimed prophethood and at times caused great suffering.
Experts have noted that there has been a proliferation of so-
called messiahs that began to appear in the 1970’s and which has
since increased substantially. The following excerpts have been se-
lected as examples to help us better understand this phenomenon:
The fiery demise of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco,
Texas, that claimed the lives of David Koresh and at least 74
of his followers... 24
Last week at two sites in Switzerland and one in Canada
where 53 of Jouret’s followers and their children died. Police
in two countries are trying to find out whether the deaths
were mass suicide, mass murder or some bizarre combina-
tion of the two. 25
