End of the World

The End of the World by Dr. Muhammad Al‑ʿAreefi is a comprehensive and deeply engaging work that examines the major and minor signs of the Hour (Yawm al-Qiyāmah) from the perspective of the Qur’an and Sunnah. Published in English by Dar‑us‑Salam, this hardback edition spans 425 pages, in full colour, carefully structured to guide the reader through the eschatological framework of Islamic belief. 

In today’s world, where sensational theories and speculative narratives abound, the author offers clarity and balance. He traces the unfolding of history and the future through authentic narrations and scriptural proof—covering the rise of the Mahdī, the DajjāI (Antichrist), the descent of ʿĪsā (Jesus) – peace be upon him – the emergence of Ya’jūj and Ma’jūj, the smoke, the sun rising from the west, the beast, and other monumental signs. Unlike works steeped in alarmism, this text roots its analysis in the methodology of Ahlus Sunnah: verifying hadīth, clarifying authentic vs weak reports, avoiding exaggeration, and offering meaningful spiritual reflection for the believer.

The book not only catalogues what is to come but also addresses how Muslims should live in light of the prophesied events. It emphasizes that understanding the signs of the Hour brings both awareness of accountability and an incentive for righteous conduct. The author presents real-world relevance—how current events may be seen in the context of prophetic indications—and encourages patience, preparation, and hope rather than fear. With diagrams, illustrated maps, and clear headings, the work is accessible to students, family readers, and serious seekers alike. It is an essential addition for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of end-times from an Islamic standpoint and align their worldview with the hereafter.

In recent times, things have become very confusing, and we have begun to see in bookstores and on websites speculation about future events, based on verses and hadiths that refer to these events concerning the signs of the Hour. Every time a calamity befalls Islam and the Muslims, people begin to look for a way out of it. Sometimes you hear about the appearance of the Mahdi, sometimes you hear that the time for the final confrontation between good and evil is close at hand, other times you hear about landslides in the East or in the West, and so forth.

Learn about the Final Hour and its signs by reading this book, which is supported by Quranic and Hadith proofs.
