88. The Spread of False Testimony and Slander

The spread of false testimony and slander are further important
portents of Doomsday. Such activities occur because people dis-
tance themselves from religion's morality, which entails be-

ing honest under all conditions and being just even at the
expense of one's self-interest. People who are distant
from religion's morality and unaware that they will
give an account of their deeds on the Day of
Judgment can readily tell lies or give false testi-
mony if doing so will benefit them. The growing
number of such people is a sign of Prophet Jesus'
(pbuh) second coming:

Verily, in the presence of the Last
Hour there will be … false testimony

and concealing evidence. (Ibn Ahmad
Hanbal and al-Hakim)
There will be false accusations of un-
chastity and slander. (Tirmidhi)
