description	Messianism and astronomical events are interconnected from the very earliest period of Islam. Although we do not know whether the appearance of comets and supernovae influenced the Prophet Muhammad to believe that the end of the world was imminent as he was receiving the revelations of the Quran, the fact is that a great many apocalyptic and messianic movements during the following four centuries and afterwards were accompanied by astronomical phenomena.
