"The Hour has Drawn Near, and The Moon has Split." (Qur'an 54:1)
From the deception of Dajjal and the spiritual ascension of Imam Mahdi, to the blessed return of Jesus (Peace be upon Him) and the numerous upheavals that shall precede the Day of Reckoning, "The Hour" is a rhythmic journey through the signs of the End Times prophesized by the Beloved (Peace and Blessings be upon Him).
Spanning twenty-four original poems and a wide range of poetic forms, this collection reflects on the ominous unfolding of the various signs-minor and major-evoking fear, fury, despair, and hope.
Drawing inspiration from the Qur'an, the teachings of the Beloved (Peace and Blessings be upon Him), and his inheritors amongst the noble saints and scholars, these poems invite readers to contemplate the concealed and manifest signs that have come to pass, those that continue to unfold before our eyes, and the ones that loom just ahead of us.
Both a literary and spiritual work, "The Hour" is an exploration of Islamic eschatology through rhythmic and contemplative verses crafted cryptically for readers seeking reflection, remembrance, and a deeper awareness of the dark times we live in, and the precarious world that lies ahead.
