Book Description
Roads to Paradise: Eschatology and Concepts of the Hereafter in Islam offers a multi-disciplinary study of Muslim thinking about paradise, death, apocalypse, and the hereafter. It focuses on eschatological concepts in the Quran and its exegesis, Sunni and Shi‘i traditions, Islamic theology, philosophy, mysticism, and other scholarly disciplines reflecting Islamicate pluralism and cosmopolitanism. Gathering material from all parts of the Muslim world, ranging from Islamic Spain to Indonesia, and the entirety of Islamic history, this publication in two volumes also integrates research from comparative religion, art history, sociology, anthropology and literary studies. Unparalleled and unprecedented in its scope and comprehensiveness, Roads to Paradise promises to become the definitive reference work on Islamic eschatology for the years to come.

Book Description
On one level, it is patently obvious that eschatology is a crucial element of the religion of Islam. The Qur'an virtually thunders with warnings of impending cataclysm; it issues shrill warning of certain judgment; and it promises rewards as exhortation to the pious. 'The Hour' (of the resurrection to judgment) relentlessly impresses itself on the listener. The 'Fire' and 'Paradise' are famous motifs of the book (particularly the Meccan suras). On the other hand, some elements of Islamic teaching on the interim state of the individual between death and final judgment, or aspects of Islamic expectation about the earth's last days are much less well known. When it comes to the events ushering in the Final Day, the unpredictable energy of Muslim apocalyptic may be compared to the preparation of traditional Arab coffee which is brought to a frothy boil and then allowed to settle back again prior to the next surge: that is, apocalyptic tumult periodically erupts onto the canvas of Muslim society and then recedes, but never disappears, ready to burst out once again at a later time. For some it will be a surprise to discover that a number of scholars attribute the incredible energy and success of the early Islamic conquests to apocalyptic fervour, that is, to the conviction that the end-of-the-world was imminent. A certain type of eschatological dynamic and disruptive energy has been unleashed by apocalyptic expectation throughout Islamic history (both Sunni and Shi'i), including considerable 'latter-days' agitation associated with the recent conflicts in both Iraq and Syria. In its broadest sense, eschatology is a concern of most religious worldviews. That is, eschatology is related to 'last things' or, we might say, 'ends, ' goals, or those things of utmost significance. For most religious systems there is a sense that ultimate meaning and purpose transcend our mere temporal physical existence. In the monotheistic religions in particular the importance of eschatology is very pronounced, sometimes with a rather 'sharp edge.' This is so because Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all hold to a more-or-less 'historical' or 'meta-narratival' construction of history and proclaim the one God as personal, as creator, and as judge: the human story is, at some level, under divine supervision and will one day be brought to conclusion, humanity held to account

Book Description
"ISLAMIC ESCHATOLOGY: Awaiting Al-Mahdi—The Twelfth Imam and the Future of Islam" is an in-depth exploration of the profound and often misunderstood doctrines within Islamic eschatology and their global implications. This comprehensive study dives into the Islamic vision of global dominance, examining the historical, theological, and geopolitical narratives that shape this vision. The book provides an exhaustive analysis of key Islamic eschatological figures, including the Mahdi, Jesus (Isa) in Islamic theology, and the Dajjal, often likened to the Antichrist in Christian eschatology. Through fifteen detailed chapters, the author navigates the complex terrain of Islamic end-times scenarios, contrasting them with Christian eschatological views to offer a balanced perspective. The book scrutinizes the phenomenon of radical Islam, dissecting the ideological roots and global impact of movements like Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, and Hezbollah. It explores the intricate relationship between jihadist ideology and actions, dissecting the strategic use of Shariah Law and the socio-political dynamics within Islamic societies. The chapters on jihad, da'wah, and the role of mosques reveal a three-pronged strategy employed in the spread of radical Islamic ideologies. The book does not shy away from discussing the controversial aspects of radical Islam, including the infiltration strategies alleged to be used by radicals in Western societies. "ISLAMIC ESCHATOLOGY" also dedicates significant focus to theological and apologetic responses, encouraging dialogue and understanding between Islamic and Christian eschatological beliefs. The final chapters offer reflections on the challenges posed by radical Islam and the role of faith, education, policy, and community in combating extremism, concluding with a call for global cooperation and a look towards a future where understanding and hope can coexist with eschatological divergences. This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Islamic eschatology, its intersection with global politics, and the challenges posed by radical interpretations within Islam. It offers a comprehensive, scholarly, and unflinching look at one of the most pressing theological and geopolitical issues of our time.

Book Description
Islamic eschatology is a topic that continuously grabs the attention of many Muslims due to its grave importance in Islamic theology. Its contents embody many supernatural events that are bound to be witnessed by many, and this further amplifies the fascination of many with this genre of scripture in the Islamic tradition. A major category of Islamic eschatology revolves around the signs of the Hour: the signs and events that manifest prior to the Day of Judgement, indicating its dire imminence. These signs, which were foretold the Prophet, serve as reminders to the Muslim community so that they may prepare themselves and be attentive to the Hour and Day of Judgement. Despite this topic's grave importance, many weak and historically inauthentic hadiths are carelessly circulated in many Muslim circles today. Perhaps what makes the matter even more challenging is the fact that some popular Muslim public figures continue to disseminate such weak traditions, further facilitating the spread of inauthentic narratives. This book serves as an attempt to prove the Muslim community with an accessible and comprehensive collection of authentic hadiths on the signs of the Hour, and perhaps it can be the stepping stone for a more mature discourse on Islamic eschatology.
