Constantinople in the Quran-Imran Nazar Hosein

Constantinople in the Qur’an by Sheikh Imran N. Hosein is a unique eschatological study that explores the prophetic significance of the city of Constantinople (modern Istanbul) within the framework of Qur’anic verses and Hadith literature. Sheikh Hosein argues that the city, having been conquered by the Muslims once (in 1453 CE by Sultan Mehmed II), will play a pivotal role in the End Times (Ākhir az-Zamān), particularly concerning the events surrounding the Dajjāl (Anti-Christ) and the final spiritual and military confrontation between major world powers. The book analyzes the concept of the ‘Final Roman Empire’ and its inevitable decline as mentioned in prophecies, asserting that the city remains central to the global Islamic vision of the future. It is a key text for readers interested in the geopolitical dimensions of Islamic prophecy and the eschatological importance of Turkey.
