ISLAMIC ESCHATOLOGY
"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...

The Last Trumpet
The Last Trumpet: A discussion of end times, judgment day, the coming of Christ, the antichrist, etc. in Christianity and Islam, as well as the sources of Islamic eschatology.
Islam and the Last Day
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 ...
The Islamic Understanding of Death and Resurrection
This book provides a thorough and accessible guide to belief about the afterlife in the Sunni Muslim tradition. Drawing on the Qur'an, traditions, creeds, and theological commentaries, as well as interviews with Muslim clerics, the authors offer an overview of the Islamic eschatological narrative, describing the understanding of events beginning with the death of the individual and ending with habitation in the final abodes of recompense.
Apocalypse in Islam
Millenarianism has emerged as a powerful force across the Islamic world. Identifying 1979 as a decisive year, Filiu stresses the ease with which subsequent events in the Middle East have been incorporated into the intellectual universe of apocalyptic propagandists.
The End of All Things Is at Hand
This book proposes a bold vision of the “end” of human life and the cosmos based on the hopeful vision of Christian faith. In a dialogue with the best of Christian tradition, the natural sciences’ conjectures of the “end,” as well as Islam’s rich teaching on the doctrine of the Last Things, a fresh constructive eschatology is recommended. While based on wide and deep academic learning, the conversational style of the book makes it suitable for various kinds of audiences, from pastors, to students, to scholars, and to interested lay folks.
Antichrist
A highly acclaimed and fascinating examination of Islamic and biblical end-time prophecies. Discover the startling similarities between the biblical Antichrist and Islam's Messiah figure known as Imam al-Mahdi. A must read for anyone interested in Islam, Bible prophecy or the underlying spiritual factors behind many of today's current events.
Shi'i Interpretations of Islam
"Islam is a hidden ingredient in the melting pot of America. Though there are between 2 and 8 million Muslims in the USA, Islam has traditionally had little political clout compared to other minority faiths. Nonetheless it is believed to be the country's fastest-growing religion, with a vibrant culture of theological debate, particularly regarding the role of women preachers. In Islam in America, Jonathan Curiel traces the story of America's Muslims from the seventeenth-century slave trade to the eighteenth-century immigration wave to the Nation of Islam. Drawing on interviews in communities from industrial Michigan to rural California, Curiel portrays the diversity of practices, cultures and observances that make up Muslim America. He profiles the leading personalities and institutions representing the community, and explores their relationship to the wider politics of America, particularly after 9/11. Islam in America offers an indispensable guide to the social life of modern Islam and the diversity of contemporary America."--Bloomsbury publishing.
