The Signs of the End Times is not merely a collection of prophecies concerning future events. It constitutes a profound body of revealed knowledge through which the transformations of human civilisation, the unfolding of history, and the challenges confronting the Muslim Ummah may be understood.

Al-Iqlid continues the pioneering exploration of Fiqh al-Tahawwulat (The Understanding of Transformations) by al Habib Abu Bakr al-'Adani ibn 'Ali al-Mashhur. Building upon the foundations established in al-Nubdhah al-Şughra, and forming part of a series culminating in al-Usus, this work presents a systematic introduction to the five interconnected sciences that underpin this discipline.

Moving beyond the conventional compilation and explanation of the Signs of the Hour, the book examines the nature of tribulations (fitan) and the means of protection against them;
Prophetic indications, glad tidings, and warnings; the challenges of modern science and contemporary culture; cosmic signs and the great battles (malahim); and the intricate relationship between revelation and history.

Rooted in the Quran and Sunnah, Al-Iglid seeks to restore the Knowledge of the Signs of the Hour to its rightful place within the Islamic sciences, while providing a framework for understanding changing realities without compromising the immutable principles of religion.

An essential work for students of sacred knowledge, scholars, and readers seeking to understand the times in which they live through the guidance of Prophetic revelation.
