Imam al-Barzanji's Contemporary Signs of the End of Times (al-Ishaat li Ashrat al-Saat) is among the most valuable books written bout the End of Times, and it relies on the statements of the one "who doesn't speak from caprice", Allah's final Prophet, Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
It is common-Knowledge that knowing the signs of the End of Times is of the most important subjects of Islam, and this was indicated at the end of the famous "Hadith Jibril" when Jibril عليه السلام asked the prophetﷺ about the final Hour, then "it's Signs". And Jibril عليه السلامdid not mention it along with Iman, Islam, and Ihsan, except to teach us the extreme importance of this topic.

About the Contributor(s)
About the author
Jafar ibn al-Hasan al-Barzanji: Imam Ja'far ibn al-Hasan al-Barzanji rahimahullah (1101 AH/1690 CE) was born in Madina, where his father served as a lecturer at the al-Siddiq Mosque and overseer of its charitable endowments (awqaf). His great-grandfather, originally from Shahrazur in Kurdish Iraq, had spent years seeking knowledge in Hamadan, Baghdad, Damascus, Istanbul, and Cairo before settling in Madina. Ja'far studied first under his father and his father's paternal uncle, and subsequently under other scholars of Madina, within a few years earning recognition as a master of many religious sciences. He became particularly distinguished as a jurist (faqih). In 1159 AH/1746, he was appointed imam and teacher at the Mosque of the Prophet in Madina, attracting students from near and far through his erudition, the quality of his lectures, and his skill in scholarly debate. He taught the jurisprudence of all four Sunni schools (madhahib) and was authorized to issue legal opinions (fatwa) in all of them. He is best known for his celebrated devotional poem in praise of the Prophet ﷺ, the Mawlid al-Barzanji.
About the translator
Rashad Jameer: Rashad Jameer is a contemporary translator of classical Islamic texts, based in Toronto, Canada. He recommitted to his faith in his early twenties and took up the study of Arabic, the Quran, hadith, and Hanafi and Maliki fiqh with scholars in Canada, before continuing his training in Cairo, Egypt, and in Tarim, in the Hadramawt valley of Yemen. He is best known for rendering works of devotion and hadith into accessible English, frequently in bilingual editions that set the Arabic text alongside the translation and add explanatory notes and appendices. Much of his published work centers on love and reverence for the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. He translated Imam Yusuf al-Nabhani's collection on the virtues of the Prophet and his nation, a gathering of forty narrations, as well as related titles on the merits of sending prayers upon the Prophet and on the unique qualities of the Prophet and his community. He also translated Imam Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti's compilation of prophetic practices and prayers, published as The Work of Day and Night, and a selection from Imam al-Sabuni's Safwat al-Tafasir covering Surat al-Waqia. His translations have appeared with publishers including Wasila Press and the Islamic Texts Society. Alongside this work he teaches Islamic studies at several mosques in Toronto, making the traditional sources available to English-speaking readers and worshippers.
