A spiritual leader from Pakistan named Riaz Ahmed Shahi, who once claimed he was Jesus Christ reborn, has made a frightening prediction. He says a huge comet will soon hit Earth and wipe out all living things before the end of this year. His followers take his warning seriously, even though NASA has clearly said there are no dangerous comets or asteroids heading toward Earth right now.
According to reports, Shahi believes this disaster is a punishment because people have moved too far away from spiritual values. In his book The Religion of God, published in the year 2000, he wrote that a comet had already been sent toward Earth and would destroy the world within 20 to 25 years. He described this as the final day for humanity.
Shahi was a spiritual leader who created several religious groups, including Anjuman Serfaroshan-e-Islam and the Messiah Foundation International (MFI). These groups teach a message he calls “divine love,” which mixes ideas from Sufism and teachings about the end of the world. He often criticised world governments for spending billions on space travel instead of focusing on helping people. In his book, he questioned why so much effort goes toward missions to the Moon or Jupiter when, in his view, none of it improves basic human life. He asked why science hasn’t created medicine that can stop aging or prevent death.
Not long after publishing that book, Shahi mysteriously disappeared in London in 2001. This happened after he made controversial claims that he was the return of Jesus Christ, the Islamic Imam Mehdi, and the Hindu Kalki Avatar. His followers believe he is still alive somewhere in hiding, and they continue to spread his message.
His disciples at the MFI have added more frightening details to his prophecy. They claim the comet will cause massive tsunamis, powerful earthquakes and total social breakdown around the world. They describe a future where society collapses and chaos takes over.
But despite all these dramatic predictions, the people who actually track space objects are calm. NASA has said clearly that there is no comet or asteroid expected to hit Earth this year. The next known comet that will pass through our solar system, called 3I/ATLAS, will stay extremely far away—at least 170 million miles from Earth. In other words, it poses absolutely no danger.
So while Shahi’s followers warn of destruction, space experts say there is nothing to worry about. According to real scientific data, no cosmic threat is coming toward Earth at this time.
