The Signs of the Hour: A Compendium of Authentic Hadiths
£7.70
Eschatology is a topic that continuously grabs the attention of many Muslims due to significance in Islamic theology. Its stories and prophecies embody many supernatural elements 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 unreliable traditions are carelessly circulated in many Muslim circles today. What makes the matter even more challenging is the fact that some public Muslim 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.

Simple straight forward book that does what it says – a compendium of authentic hadiths. In a time where misinformation spreads like wildfire, it is refreshing to read a work that isn’t tainted with sensationalism and relies on the wisdom of reliable and authentic utterances of those who came before us and were better than us. If you need a reliable resource on the Signs of the Hour, this is a good read.

The book is brilliant. makes clear what the authentic signs of the hour are. It has brief comments as well as statements from the companions. There were new narrations i had learnt! – bearing in mind i have studied Islam formally. Very well written. I’m very happy with this purchase.

Short, sweet and to the point. Clearly lays out the narrations with brief commentary on each.
Incredibly helpful, especially given now where we have all sorts of traditions/narrations pertaining to the end times being passed off as being authentic when they’re often not.
