Islamic eschatology, the study of end times within the Islamic tradition, encompasses a rich tapestry of beliefs regarding the Last Days. Central to these beliefs is the concept of the Second Coming, particularly concerning the figure of Isa (Jesus).

Understanding Islam's rise involves examining the socio-political context of pre-Islamic Arabia, the life and teachings of Muhammad, the establishment of the first Muslim communities, and the subsequent spread of Islam through conquest, trade, and cultural exchange.
