Book Of The End | Great Trails & Tribulations

Book Of The End – Great Trials & Tribulations Explained Through Authentic Islamic Sources

Book Of The End is a profound and intellectually rigorous work that addresses one of the most urgent questions of human existence: how will the world end, and what signs precede the Final Hour? In an age of global uncertainty, moral confusion, and constant anxiety about the future, this monumental volume by Imam Ibn Kathir offers timeless clarity grounded in the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah.

Why Book Of The End | Great Trails & Tribulations Matters Today

Belief in the Last Day is a foundational pillar of Islamic faith, yet many Muslims, reverts, and curious non-Muslims possess only fragmented knowledge of its signs and realities. Book Of The End | Great Trials & Tribulations systematically gathers the prophetic narrations related to the End Times from Ibn Kathir’s legendary work Al-Bidaayah wan-Nihaayah, presenting them in a structured, accessible English format.

This is not sensationalist apocalyptic literature. Instead, it is a sober, scholarly exploration of divine warnings meant to awaken conscience, strengthen faith, and guide ethical living. For Muslims, it reinforces yaqeen (certainty) in Allah’s promise. For reverts and new Muslims, it provides essential eschatological context often missing from introductory texts. For non-Muslims, it offers a rare window into how Islam frames accountability, justice, and the ultimate destiny of humanity.

Scholarly Integrity You Can Trust

This Darussalam edition, translated by Faisal Shafiq, is distinguished by its methodological integrity. Weak narrations that do not meet acceptable scholarly standards are carefully filtered, while authentic (sahih) and sound (hasan) reports are retained and referenced. Each narration is supported by clear sourcing, allowing readers to verify material independently through classical hadith collections.

The work draws directly from the Qur’an and verified Prophetic traditions, aligning with verses such as:
“When the earth is shaken with its final earthquake…” (Qur’an 99:1)

And the Prophet ﷺ said:
“The Hour will not be established until you see ten signs…”
