Chapter One: The Promised One in Zoroastrianism
This chapter investigates one of the oldest messianic traditions. The Zoroastrian doctrine of the "Saoshyant"—the promised world-renewer who will triumph over evil and establish an eternal reign of truth and justice—is explored through the foundational texts of the Avesta.
Chapter Two: The Messiah in Judaism
The focus here is on the prophetic promises within the Hebrew Bible concerning the coming of the ultimate "Mashiach." The chapter analyzes the attributes of this Anointed One, his mission to bring universal peace and divine justice, and the signs heralding his arrival as foretold by the Prophets of Israel.
Chapter Three: The Promised One in Christianity
This section centers on the core Christian belief in the Second Coming of "Jesus Christ (PBUH)" as the final redeemer. Drawing from the Gospels and the Book of Revelation, it elaborates on the events preceding his return and the establishment of his righteous kingdom on Earth.
Chapter Four: The Promised One in Islam
The book culminates with the Islamic doctrine of "Mahdaviyat" (Belief in the Guided One). It details the promise of the appearance of "Imam Al-Mahdi (PBUH)," thoroughly examining his identity, the portents of his advent, and his ultimate role in founding a global era of monotheistic justice, as per the Quran and the narrations of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
A Key Feature of the Book:
"The Promised & Religions" masterfully portrays a continuous lineage of divine promise. It illustrates how this belief originated in Zoroastrianism, was reaffirmed in Judaism and Christianity, and finds its most comprehensive and complete expression in Islam. This book is an invaluable resource for both academic scholars and any sincere seeker of truth interested in the profound connections between the world's great faiths.
