The answer

We recommend the following books: - To understand the current reality of Muslims: "Divine Ordinances in Nations, Groups, and Individuals in Islamic Law" by Abdul Karim Zidan, "Divine Ordinances and Their Impact on Understanding Reality" by Abu Maryam Muhammad Al-Juraytli, "The Present State of the Islamic World" by Ali Juraysha, "The Present State of the Islamic World and Its Contemporary Issues" by Jamil Al-Misri, "Landmarks on the Path to Understanding Reality" and "Towards a Deeper Understanding of Islamic Reality" by Abdul Karim Bakkar, and "Between History and Reality" by Ragheb El-Sergany. - To understand the events of the End of Time: "Jurisprudence of the Signs of the Hour" by Muhammad Al-Muqaddim, "The End: Fitan and Malahim" by Ibn Kathir, "Signs of the Hour" by Yusuf Al-Wabil and Abdullah Al-Ghufaili, and "The Minor Resurrection" by Omar Al-Ashqar. - For sects and schools of thought: "Creeds of the Seventy-Three Sects" by Abu Muhammad Al-Yamani, "Warning and Refutation Against the People of Desires and Innovations" by Al-Malati, "Encyclopedia of Sects Attributed to Islam" (supervised by Alawi Al-Saqqaf), and "The Impact of Ancient Religions and Sects on Some Sects Attributed to Islam" by Abdul Qadir Soufi.

It should be noted that renowned traditional books on sects, such as: "Maqalat al-Islamiyyin" by Al-Ash'ari, "Al-Fasl" by Ibn Hazm, "Al-Milal wa al-Nihal" by Al-Shahrastani, and "Al-Farq bayn al-Firaq" by Al-Baghdadi, do not represent the creed of the People of the and the Community (Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah), and all of them delved into blameworthy theological discourse that the Salaf (pious predecessors) found fault with and condemned.
