The Prophet said "There has been no affliction, nor will be until the hour establishes, greater than that of the Dajjal" The emergence of the Dajjal will be the greatest affliction ever faced by mankind, from the creation of Adam until the last Hour, without exception. Allah will give him the ability to wreak discord, evil and disbelief on an unprecedented scale. His tenure on Earth will be characterised by terror, havoc and despair.

This book is the first in the series. It deals with sickness, which continues to afflict human beings from birth until death. Sickness strikes as light as a simple cold or allergy, and as hard as a plague or cancer. It keeps the human being under check, reminding him of his weakness and giving him a chance to turn to the One who possesses to afflict and cure. This book deals with sickness, its regulations, and lessons associated with it. It presents the Islamic stand toward a number of modern medical issues, and also discusses important regulations relating to those with disabilities. This book is part of the Inevitable Journey Series, a 4-book series dealing with the inevitable journey including human ailments, death, the intermediate life in al-Barzakh, and sleep & dreams.
