Asrar Rashid (author)

Publisher: Rigel Publishing

Navigating the End of Time sets a course for a navigation of the dangerous ways that Armageddon-watchers have invented or twisted prophecies to their own advantage. Rashid draws on examples of how both Muslim and non-Muslim millenarians have cajoled and brainwashed followers, in many cases, to their doom. The trials and tribulations of our time are indisputable, but Rashid lays bare the fitan which are essentially a result of a our own miseducation or dependence on the products of the industrial revolution the apotheosis of which is the smart phone in our hand which completes what has been called the mass-formation (or crowd psychosis) of our 'technic society'. These he juxtaposes with the language of the Qur'an and the key prophecies of the Messenger of Allah & and what he says about the fitan of the End Times. These eschatological matters were further collected and mapped out by a few Muhaddithun and Rashid gently teaches us how to map read; 'Do not travel there until you learn to read the signs properly, and if possible find a very good guide.'

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is “Navigating the End of Time” about?

“Navigating the End of Time” is a thought-provoking book that deals with Islamic teachings on the End Times (the period leading up to the Day of Judgment) and how some people today misuse or misunderstand those teachings. It essentially guides readers on how to approach prophecies about the end of the world in a balanced, knowledgeable way, without falling into sensationalism or neglect.

2. Who wrote “Navigating the End of Time”?

The book is authored by Shaykh Asrar Rashid, a scholar known for addressing contemporary issues in Islamic theology. He wrote this book to tackle the “Armageddon obsession” some have – where every world event is hastily labeled as a sign of the Final Hour – and to correct false predictions and twisted interpretations of end-of-time prophecies.

3. What topics are covered in this book?

The book covers topics like major and minor signs of the Day of Judgment, the proper understanding of prophecies from the Qur’an and Hadith, and how to avoid the pitfalls of those who spread unfounded theories about the apocalypse. Shaykh Asrar also discusses why it’s harmful when individuals or groups claim specific dates for the end or misinterpret signs to push agendas. It educates readers on authentic sources and the scholarly approach to these matters.

4. Why is “Navigating the End of Time” relevant for Muslims today?

In the modern era, with widespread misinformation (especially online), many Muslims encounter sensational claims about things like the coming of Imam Mahdi, Dajjal (the Anti-Christ), or the end of the world. This book is relevant because it helps Muslims keep a cool head. It teaches that while we should believe in the signs of the End Times, we should neither obsess over them nor ignore them – rather, understand them correctly. It reminds us that our focus should remain on practicing Islam and being prepared for death and Judgment without succumbing to fear-mongering.

5. Is the tone of the book academic or easy to follow?

Shaykh Asrar Rashid writes in a manner that is informative yet accessible. He provides references to Qur’an and Hadith for the points he makes, so it’s well-supported academically. However, he also uses straightforward language to ensure everyday readers can follow along. Even if you’re not deeply versed in Islamic eschatology, you’ll find the book readable and enlightening, as it clarifies complex ideas with practical examples.
