End times philosophies of different religions
In the history of religions, eschatology is a subject that refers to end times of this world, the day of resurrection, the day of judgement and the final destiny of mankind. The end of this world is anticipated by all Abrahamic and non-Abrahamic religions. Apocalypticism is a religious belief that the end of the world is imminent. As per this belief, a sudden intervention of God will result in the destruction of this cosmos and in its place, two entities known as Paradise and Hell will be established. Apocalypticism is also part of modern science, technology, and political discourse in which opinions are offered about the end of the world. We have described beliefs of some important religions in the world in this context and have compared it with the Islamic perspective of end of this world. Since this subject is of significance to every individual in the world, we hope that this research will provide logical explanation to people to know if the world will indeed end at some point, and if so, what is the course of action people need to follow in this context.
