This remarkable work, written by Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir ad-Dimashqi, explores the final period of the world as described in the Qur’an and authentic Hadith. It offers readers a profound journey through the signs of the Last Day, the appearance of the Dajjal, the return of ‘Isa (A.S.), and the great trials humanity will witness before the Hour is established.
Ibn Kathir’s narration is based on authentic Islamic sources and follows a detailed scholarly approach. He compiles verses, prophetic sayings, and historical incidents to help believers understand the sequence of events and the wisdom behind divine trials. Each chapter deepens faith by reminding the reader of the temporary nature of this world and the certainty of the Hereafter.
Among its famous sections are the stories of Ya’juj and Ma’juj, the beast of the earth (Dabbatul-Ard), the sun rising from the west, and the major resurrection events. Through these vivid descriptions, readers reflect upon their own lives and connection with Allaah ﷻ.
“The wise person is the one who prepares for what comes after death.”
