Abstract

Islamic eschatology provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the end times, emphasizing moral accountability, divine justice, and the ultimate triumph of good over evil. This article explores key eschatological concepts in Islam, their implications for contemporary global civilization, and the ethical and political challenges they present. By analyzing Quranic verses, Hadith literature, and scholarly interpretations, this study highlights how Islamic eschatology shapes Muslim responses to modernity, conflict, and global governance. The research employs qualitative analysis, incorporating theological and socio-political perspectives to assess the role of eschatological beliefs in shaping future civilizational trajectories.
