Some of the portents of the day of judgment that are coming about – Part II

The increasing of false prophets.

The Day of Judgment will not take place until some 30 liars all claiming to be the Messenger of Allah are sent. (Tirmidhi, Fitan 43; Sunan Abu Dawud, Malahim 16)

Great cities will be ruined, and it will be as if they had not existed the day before. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi, p. 38)
