Description: The 2007 critical edition of Ahmed Bijan|s cosmography Dürr-i meknûn (DM) has greatly stimulated interest in what must be considered the book|s prequel, Eindtijd en Antichrist (English summary), a detailed analysis of DM|s Chapter 17 about the |Signs of the Hour|. To meet demand a revised English edition of Eindtijd en Antichrist is now available. Originally written in 1997 in the Dutch language, this study was and remains the sole monograph devoted entirely to Ahmed Bijan|s eschatology. It is shown that Bijan was not an apocalyptic and that he did not in any way employ End Time imagery to comment on his own times and tribulations. Next the remaining question gets answered: why then did Ahmed Bijan. 0.
