Is it forbidden to utter the phrase "as if it were the Day of Resurrection" to describe a worldly tribulation such as a fire or an earthquake? And is this out of glorification of the Day of Resurrection, such that it is impermissible to liken anything to it?

"We do not know of anything that prevents the phrase, 'It was as if it were the Day of Judgment due to the noise and multitude of people.' Some commentators have mentioned it, such as the author of Tafsir Ruh al-Bayan in the story of Jacob's meeting with Joseph (peace be upon them both). Abu Tahir al-Isfahani also mentioned it in Mu'jam al-Safar upon the death of Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Razi."
