Bilal ibn Rabah, may God be pleased with him

At a time when many are attempting to link current world events and trends to interpretations of the prophecies contained in the Book of Revelation, the writings of Nostradamus, and the predictions of fortune-tellers, the author does much the same—but by referencing some of the prophecies contained in the Holy Qur’an and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). "The Antichrist" is not merely a catalog of these prophecies, nor does it analyze specific events in light of them. Looking at life in general in the late twentieth century, the book is not merely a "religious" critique of a purposeless society. Rather, it examines and compares the external existential behavior, along with its internal psychological reality, of both those who do not base their lifestyle on prophetic guidance and those who do.
