Signs of Jesus’ (pbuh)
Second Coming

121. The Appearance of False Messiahs

Those who are unwilling to prepare the coming of this worthy
Messenger may be hoping to encourage believers towards slackness by
seeking to portray such preparations as unnecessary. One of their ruses

will involve the appearance of false messiahs. From time to time, those
who were not of sound mind or who had various personal agendas
have claimed to be Prophet Jesus (pbuh). Some groups have sought to
use such people's ignorance for their own ends, such as by saying, in ef-
fect, "Declarations that Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will come have led to the
emergence of false messiahs." Such statements are designed to slow
down or even end these necessary preparations. However, God will al-
low nobody to delay this sacred time, which He has promised. In fact,

the appearance of false messiahs is a portent, the glad tidings, of the
coming of Prophet Jesus (pbuh).
The appearance of 60 liars, each of whom claims that God, the One God,
has sent them as a prophet. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi 'Alamat
al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 36)

The Hour will not be established
until about thirty Dajjals [liars]
appear, and each one of them will
claim that he is God's Apostle…
(Sahih Bukhari)
