The Ultimate Revelations (1996) is an Islamic science fiction novel by Jamshed Akhtar. Overview Published in 1996, the book outlines a two-part hypothesis about revelations. First, it presents a universal design linking all revelations on earth, and explains the continuity of this phenomenon via the arrival of a last and final transmission on earth with future guidance hidden in it, in layers. Humanity is expected to decode the guidance, layer by layer, in different time frames till its end. The second part of the book then analyses the claim of the Qur'an as being that final Message. To support this hypothesis, the author presents several arguments from the historical records describing the advent of Qur'anic revelations (Wahy), its language of communication, its time of arrival, the characteristics of its recipient nation, the information in its contents, and the presence of an interpreting mechanism built into the Qur'an. The effect of the Message is presented, encompassing not only the initial seven centuries of development and progress under Muslim rule, but also the later period extending till today, when as per the author, the chaos gradually took hold of the Muslim realm and a different part of the planet developed, based on the infra-structure of information provided through the fall of Spain. Final chapter of the book is devoted to an analysis of Rashad Khalifa's controversial mathematical structure in the text of Qur'an, pointing out the problems that had become the basis of its rejection in the Muslim world. Plot The story is set sometimes in the twenty-first century. An expanding shell of low energy from the sun's core, moving towards its surface for the last million years, breaks through its outer envelope. The shell is thin, and the slight decrease in the solar output is not expected to last long. Still, the event has tremendous potential of menace. Even this tiny solar hiccup has the capability to push the planet again towards a cold grave, from which it had painfully emerged just twelve thousand years ago. Concurrent with this freak solar activity, a young scientist begins having strange and puzzling dreams of momentous events from the past. He sees an event in the formation of solar event, a day in the Cretaceous period, Noah's Ark being constructed, Buddha's sermon to a large multitude, Moses climbing the mountain to keep tryst with the mysterious fire, child Mary's guardianship being decided in the
