This book is an extract from Ibn Kathir's book called "Al Bidayah Wa Al Nihayah" (The beginning and the ending). This book is an authoritative source on a matter of central importance to everyone: the events of the here-after. The work is by Ibn Kathir, an eminent Islamic scholar and is based entirely upon authentic Islamic texts and sources.
