Download or read book Islam and the Last Day written by Brent J Neely and published by Mst (Melbourne School of Theology). This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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
Download or read book The Signs of the Hour written by Abdullah Al-Rabbat and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-09 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book ISLAMIC ESCHATOLOGY written by Edward D. Andrews and published by Christian Publishing House. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.

Download or read book Islam in Bible Prophecy written by Frank C. Benjamin and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-20 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I know that Muslims would play a role in Bible Prophecy regardless of what was being taught by Western Clergy. This book is a revelation of End-Time prophecies from several Old Testament and New Testament books especially the book of Revelation. It presents biblical exposition of eschatology comparing the Bible and Islamic teaching. My position is totally different from mainstream western viewpoint of Christian eschatology, you will not regret reading this book and there's a pretty good chance that you will see the future in a different light as I have. I highly recommend that all Pastors study this book for your enlightenment. This book is not for narrow-minded people, but is for those Christians who are always seeking the truth.In this book I expose Western readers to the traditions of Islam. This revelations will stun readers who are unaware of the similarities between the Antichrist and the Islamic expectations about a coming Mahdi. The relationship between Christian end-time prophecy and Islamic expectations of world domination shocked me and revolutionized my eschatological expectations. Islam in Bible Prophecy is the book to read for insights on the truth about end time prophecy.The most powerful and informative book on the prophetic role of Islam, this is a comprehensive analysis of Bible prophecy viewed through a Middle Eastern lens. The resulting picture will displease those who are wedded to the conventional but false Eurocentric view of prophecy with its European Antichrist and Global New Age/Roman Catholic religion. Unfortunately, too many book-selling, prophecy experts have built lucrative careers on the old paradigm and are unlikely to give this book the attention it deserves. That is unfortunate and will only contribute to the Western World's (and the Church's) blindness. Not only is this a brilliant analysis of Bible prophecy, it is one of the most informative books on Islamic eschatology.

This book was released on 2019-08-31 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History began with a Divine warning not to approach a forbidden tree of lust to rule over others. History is ending with that new actor on the stage of the world displaying an unprecedented imperial lust to rule the world. That new actor possesses power unprecedented in human history and has already used that power through Gog and Magog to spread himself out in all directions as he took control of the world. He then proceeded to liberate the Holy Land for the Jews, to bring them back to the Holy Land to reclaim it as their own two thousand years after they had been expelled from it by Divine decree, and to restore in the Holy Land a State of Israel. That mysterious new actor is now preparing the way for Israel's Pax Judaica to replace USA's Pax Americana. This pioneering book on Islamic Eschatology has identified that strange and mysterious new actor who occupies center-stage in the world in the End-time, and who brought modern western civilization into being, as Dajjäl the false Messiah.
