In his book Zad Almi’aad, Imam Ibn Qayem al-jawzyah speaks about the Prophet Muhammad (s). He tells us about his way in prayer, his conduct (regarding many things: travels, non-Muslims, visiting, choosing polite words and expressions, pilgrimage, charity, etc.), his battles, his judgments, and rulings on marriage and such relevant matters.
In the Light of the Qur’an and Sunnah Nothing is more important to the believer than entrance into Paradise and the avoidance of Hell. This will be the fruit of his/her deeds in this life. This topics from the topics of the unseen is a major issue of faith. The author has indeed covered all the issues of this reality in this book. The description of Paradise and Hell and its people will make every reader more conscious of his ultimate goal in life and keep him/her busy in the remembrance of its realities.
In this book, Dr. Umar S. al-Ashqar examines all these issues from the point of view of the Quran and Sunnah. He looks at issues of death and what happens to a persons soul after death, including the questioning of the angels and the torment of the grave. He also examines the signs of the Hour, which indicate that the Day of Judgment is approaching many of which are already happening. As always he quotes extensively from the texts, placing these issues squarely within the Islamic framework and dispelling the myth and misunderstandings that have arisen and become prevalent.
The famous author, Dr. Muhammad Adb Al-Rahman Al-Arifi, has done and excellent job of explaining all the issues along with proofs from the Qur’an & Sunnah in an easy to understand manner especially for the younger generation.
This book ” The Inevitable – Reflections on Death and Beyond ” authored by Dr. Aid al-Qarni is a timely reminder of death, for thinking of death deters one from persisting in sin and prompts one to do righteous deeds that may lead one to paradise, whereas forgetting about death may lead to one following whims and desires, and committing evil deeds that could lead one to hell.
All major religions have dealt with questions of life after death, although many do not treat it in detail as have Muslim theologians and traditionists. The present text attributed to Imam al-Ghazali was based on a translation of his Durrah al-Fakhirah (The Precious Pearl).
This book is one of the important resources of knowledge for those who seek to know the Seerah of their Prophet (PBUH) as well as, the Fiqh learned from it. This is a book that is unique in that it explains the Sunnah through the Seerah and the Seerah through the Sunnah.
Death is the ultimate reality of life.’ This life on earth is only a transitory phase on the way to paradise or hell, as the case may be. Islam as the complete code of life has a set of complete instructions for both the dying person and for those around him or her who are charged with the sacred duty of performing the last rites.
Journey to the Heavens explores that journey with a view to make its reader ponder about the reality and inevitability of death, and the dire need for man to prepare appropriately for the journey.

Like everything, the present universe will also come to an end, and it is a part of our faith to believe in the Last Day. The signs of the Day of Judgment have been foretold by our Prophet (S). Ibn Kathir has collected all the prophesies of the Prophet (S) in his book Al-Bidaayah wan-Nihaayah.
Shaykh Abdullah Ali’s faithful translation of a section concerning the meditation of death from Ibn Rajab’s famous work on yearly devotions is much needed in our culture of forgetfulness. He has chosen a work of immense value to introduce to speakers of English. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, ‘Make much mention of the Destroyer of Delights’ – meaning death. This is not a morbid reflection but rather one that reminds us that the gift of life is fragile and fleeting, and its foremost purpose is as a preparation for the Hereafter. All things end including this world, but what is coming never ends. In remembering death as a daily practice, one is reminded to use each and every day successfully as a preparation for eternity. This wonderful work is an excellent place to start.
In this volume, Book of the End: Great Trials & Tribulations by Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir we have presented from them the signs of the Hour and the events that are yet to take place, although mentioning very few examples of those prophesies that have already been realized.
