Concise Books on the Signs of the Hour
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What are the concise and clear books on the signs of the Hour that you can recommend to us?
Answer:
There are many books written on the signs of the Hour. Among the oldest is al-Muntaha by Ibn Kathir? It is a continuation of al-Bidaya, because Ibn Kathir's history is called al-Bidaya wa al-Nihaya (The Beginning and the End); al-Nihaya is the unfolding of the Hour, and it is restrained. It is an appendix to al-Bidaya, and it was lenient, and it had not been printed before, so now it has been printed a second time with al-Bidaya wa al-Nihaya. Likewise, there are many books on this Hour regarding the signs of the Hour, such as that by al-Barzendi, a scholar from Madinah, and al-I'da' bi ma kana wa yakun bayn yadi al-Sa'ah (The Preparation for What Was and What Will Be Before the Hour) by Shaykh Farid Hasan Hamid al-Nubi, which is printed. And the most complete and best of them is Ihsab al-Jama'ah li Bayan Ashab al-Sa'ah (The Accounting of the Group to Explain the People of the Hour) by Shaykh Hamud ibn 'Abdullah al-Sisi (may Allah have mercy on him).
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
