A spiritual leader from
Pakistan has emerged with an apocalyptic prediction for the coming years.
Riaz Ahmed Shahi maintains that a comet will strike Earth and eliminate all living creatures on the planet before the end of this year.
The catastrophe would serve as divine retribution on humanity for drifting "too far from spiritual truths", according to the Daily Mail.
"A comet has been sent towards Earth for total destruction. The comet is expected to fall on Earth in the next 20-25 years. That will be the last day of this world", Shahi wrote in his 2000 book The
Religion of God.
The mystic is a religious figure who has established multiple organizations, including Anjuman Serfaroshan-e-Islam and Messiah Foundation International (MFI), all promoting his philosophy of "divine love", reports
the Express.
His teachings combine the Islamic tradition of Sufism with eschatology and include harsh criticisms of how authorities and institutions appear more interested in space exploration than human welfare.
