Navigating the End of Time

After listening to Shaykh Asrar's talks and studies on topics such as End of times. I came across this book during on of his talks. For someone who enjoys islamic history and eschatology, this book is a must read. It goes through really in-depth detail of the minor and major signs of the end times, cults and how to avoid fitnah.Looking forward to more books by Shaykh Asrar.

Provides great insight, a very good and engaging read.

Masha'Allah greatly researched by the Sheikh. Explained simply for everyone to understand. Thank you so much for this much appreciated book to add to our knowledge of which we can forward yo the public.

What felt like a few moments turned out to be hours. Hours that withered away when finishing the last section of this book. It was truly an engrossing end to a splendid work of Islamic literature. I almost found it impossible to put the book down as the major signs were being illustrated chronologically. With a slight regret to the detrimental effect it had on my sleep, I, nevertheless, really enjoyed this book and feel like it has broadened my perspective on many things. It is a satisfying read and does complete justice to the science of eschatology.The author has done a brilliant job in elucidating the principles needed to safeguard oneself from gross misinterpretation.Anyone looking for guidance in these times of confusion should look no further as this book has everything you need. It lays out a map to show you your current position and where you are headed, and likewise, it gives a compass to ensure you are not swayed by the tides of deception.

The first half of the book will almost certainly save people from falling for any claim that misinterprets known signs of the hour or false claimants of being the Mahdi. It looks closely at cult leaders and their methods and how to protect oneself from their lies, delusion or mental illness.This book is a must read in the current time and it's the most important work on the topic as it's written in 2022, which allows the author to look at far more false claims than previous authors could and refer to very recent events such as ISIS.The book is very well written, in an easy to read font and eloquently. A real page turner.The beauty of it is the signs are discussed chronologically with hadith cited as we go along so it gives a clearer picture than ever about the world we live in and how close we are to the end times.Whilst looking at the signs, the author puts to bed misinterpretations of eschatology and calls instead for Muslims to wait for the signs to appear as mentioned in the Quran and sunnah, they being the only certainty. The rest is mere conjecture.The book also helps to strengthen Iman: that these signs are foretold and inescapable and Muslims must concentrate on their own selves and getting closer to Allah rather than be unnecessarily perturbed by goings on.

Not finished yet but it's been fantastic so far. Firstly, hats off to the publishers who have published a beautiful book. The typesetting, the paper, the cover etc is 1st class.So far the book has been a great guide on how not to be deceived on all the different people out there making all sorts of claims as well as cults praying on the minds and feelings of many Muslims. My only criticism so far is the swipe Shaykh Asrar Rashid has had at the Deobandi's. He doesn't make a good case for them supporting Mirza Ghulam, the liar, in his claim of prophethood. The Deobandi's are known for their khatme nabuwwat conferences worldwide as an attempt to refute their claims. Apart from that I really like Shaykh Asrar Rashid's approach to this subject which is grounded in the Islamic Sciences.May Allah accept and reward Shaykh Asrar in this life and the next.

This book has been a unparalleled learning experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking answers in these confusing times.The author covers essential history relevant to the End of Times and helps us understand how and why the Muslim world has come to its current stage after seeing centuries of persecution, betrayal and deception, and how this was foretold by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).There are then chapters providing information on previous deceivers and false prophets, how they were influenced and how they gained influence, how they convinced people and how to avoid being deceived by one of these fakes.He also adds much needed depth into the history of sectarianism in Islam, where many Muslims today have been confused, and how this tied in with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)'s end of time prophecies.Finally, he covers and categorises the signs of the Last Day chronologically as per authentic sources, and puts them into today's context (without "white-washing" sources - which is a key fault found i have found in other popular publications who have released Islamic literature on the End of Times)A must-read for any Muslim.

Essential reading so that Muslims may open their eyes and realise the times we are living in, as foretold by the prophet peace be upon him. The book is certainly not sectarian, as an individual has claimed, rather it goes into the history behind the origins of deviant sects, not with the intention of criticism but to educate muslims. Additionally, It gives a clear overview of the signs that have occurred and those that are yet to occur. Highly recommend this book!
