(Ebook) Stories of the End by Ibn Kathir

This book is a continuation of the works by Ibn kathir's history book, Al-Bidaayah Wan-Nihaayah; whereas the previous volumes are concerned with past events, this book is chiefly concerned with events that are yet to take place.Thus book is also part of Project Ali published "Stories Collection by Ibn Kathir" including 'Stories of the Prophets' and 'Stories of the Quran'.The work is by Ibn Kathir, an eminent Muslim scholar, and is based entirely upon authentic texts. In many Ahadith, or Traditions, the Blessed Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) described the condition in which people would live in those times. Some of the developments foretold by the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) have already come to pass, such as the construction of high-rise buildings in the Middle East, also the frequent break-up of family ties and the almost universal presence of usury. Numerous Ahadith of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) describe such matters as the Dajjal or Antichrist and other temptations and disasters to which mankind will be subjected to as the disintegration of the natural order of things accelerates. The Last Days are also marked by supernatural apparitions which will manifest on an awesome scale the power of Allah Almighty.
