This book gives a complete account of the fields of foresight — looking ahead to the future — in the Prophetic Sunnah. The author traces the hadith related to this important subject, shows Muslims how to understand them, and applies them to solving the problems of our time.
Interest in foresight and future studies is a clear sign of an advanced civilisation and a key element in success, whether personal, social or civilisational. The flourishing of Islamic civilisation, its scholarly revival and the conquests of its golden ages were a fruit of foresight in the Prophetic era.
The book covers eighteen fields of foresight in the Sunnah: worship, da'wah, upbringing, education, health, environment, family, society, economy, politics, the military, astronomy, the laws of the universe, renewal, consequences, taking the means, trials, and the signs of the Hour. It offers the Muslim rich knowledge of its subject in simple language, combining thoroughness with brevity — a hallmark of the author's writing.
