The Journey of “End of Time” by Dr. Shahid Masood’s Vision of Faith, Future, and Awakening

For more than two decades, the television series “End of Time” by Dr. Shahid Masood has fascinated audiences across Pakistan and beyond. With its unique blend of Islamic teachings, current affairs, and prophetic insight, the show has become one of the most recognizable documentary series ever produced on Urdu-language television. Through its many versions, Hidden Truth, The Lost Chapters, The Final Call, and The Moment, the series has grown into a powerful platform that links faith with the modern world’s chaos.

This is the story of “End of Time”, how it started, what it aims to teach, and how it continues to inspire curiosity and reflection among millions of viewers.

The Origin: A Vision Beyond News

Before End of Time, Dr. Shahid Masood was already a known face in Pakistan’s media world. A doctor by training and a journalist by passion, he became famous for his political commentary programs on channels like ARY News and Geo TV. But in 2004, he stepped away from daily politics to explore something far deeper, the spiritual and prophetic side of global events.

That year, he launched the first version of the show under the title “End of Time: The Hidden Truth.” It was a bold experiment. Instead of political talk, viewers were introduced to a documentary-style program blending Islamic eschatology (the study of the end times) with real-world developments like globalization, wars, technology, and the changing moral structure of societies.

The response was immediate and overwhelming. The show gained popularity across Pakistan, the Middle East, and among the Pakistani diaspora worldwide. For many, it was the first time a mainstream television journalist had explained end-times concepts in such a simple, captivating way.

The Motive and Aim

Dr. Shahid Masood’s aim with End of Time was to awaken awareness, not fear. He often said the goal was to make people reflect, not panic. In his view, understanding the signs of the end times should strengthen faith, discipline, and moral responsibility rather than lead to despair.

Each episode explored signs mentioned in the Qur’an and Hadith, from the appearance of Dajjal (Antichrist) and the coming of Imam Mahdi, to the return of Prophet Isa (Jesus, A.S.), and the emergence of Gog and Magog (Yajuj and Majuj).

However, what made Dr. Shahid’s show stand out was his connection between the ancient and the modern. He would talk about world wars, artificial intelligence, economic collapse, and the media’s influence, tying all of them to prophecies about the changing moral and spiritual fabric of humanity.

His core message was always that Muslims should prepare spiritually, live ethically, and hold fast to truth, because “knowledge without morality leads to destruction.”

The First Era: End of Time, The Hidden Truth (2004)

The first season aired in 2004 on ARY News and was titled “End of Time: The Hidden Truth.”

It was released in a four-part documentary format (often found online as Part 1 to 4, though some versions show five parts). In these episodes, Dr. Shahid laid the foundation of his theory, presenting the historical timeline of major and minor signs leading to the Day of Judgment.

He discussed:

• The decline of moral values
• Wars and bloodshed
• The rise of technology and surveillance
• Israel and Jerusalem’s role in future conflicts
• Economic systems and global dependency

Each episode used visuals, maps, and narration to make complex religious and political subjects easy for general audiences. Even today, “The Hidden Truth” remains one of the most-watched Islamic documentary series online, often re-uploaded and subtitled by fans worldwide.

The Revival: The Lost Chapters (2015)

More than a decade later, after years of political commentary, Dr. Shahid revived the series under a new name: “End of Time: The Lost Chapters.”

This time, the show aired on News One in 2015. As the world entered an age of social media revolutions, economic crises, and new wars, Dr. Shahid wanted to reconnect those modern developments with the prophetic chain discussed in the earlier series.

The episodes were labeled Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and so on, symbolizing “lost pages” of an unfolding story. He analyzed contemporary issues such as:

• The rise of ISIS and extremism
• The refugee crisis and human displacement
• The role of Western powers and modern Zionism
• The use of digital surveillance and global media control

Through these topics, The Lost Chapters reminded viewers that prophecy is not distant history, it’s a living reflection of what happens around us.

The Rebirth: The Final Call (2016)

In 2016, Dr. Shahid returned to ARY News with another powerful relaunch: “End of Time: The Final Call.”

This version is widely considered the most complete and organized season of the series, featuring around 20 full episodes (some lists mention up to 26). It was broadcast weekly and later made available on platforms like Dailymotion and UnewsTV.

Each episode in The Final Call was numbered, Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3…, and structured like a continuous story. It featured deeper connections between prophecy, global politics, and spirituality.

Dr. Shahid discussed:

• The symbolism of the Dajjal in the modern world
• The global financial system and artificial intelligence
• The battle between truth and deception in media
• Signs of Imam Mahdi’s arrival and the moral test of believers

This season also introduced a more emotional narrative tone. Dr. Shahid often reminded his viewers that “the Final Call” was not about predicting a date for the end, it was about awakening the human conscience.

The Continuation: The Moment (2017)

By 2017, the world had changed again. Social divisions, fake news, and technological manipulation were dominating headlines. Dr. Shahid Masood brought back the series once more as “End of Time: The Moment.”

This version aired on News One and is known for its sharper focus on current global crises and their moral consequences.

Episodes were again numbered, starting from Episode 1 (28 May 2017) and continuing onward. Each episode explored a theme from an Islamic and sociopolitical perspective:

• The culture of misinformation and mass confusion
• The loss of identity among Muslim youth
• The growing spiritual emptiness of modern societies
• New forms of oppression disguised as progress

By this stage, End of Time had evolved into more than a television show, it was a philosophical conversation about humanity’s direction.

Some known uploads include:

• Episode 1 – “The Beginning of The Moment”
• Episode 2 – “The Age of Confusion”
• Episode 3 – “Spiritual Signs in Modern Times”
• Episode 6 – “The Road Ahead”
• Episode 23 – “The Final Reflection”

Each of these continued the journey of connecting timeless Islamic prophecies with rapidly changing realities.

The Present Era: YouTube and Digital Revival

With the rise of online media, End of Time found new life on YouTube. The “End of Time Official” channel hosts both older archived series and new short explainers on topics like:

• Qayamat aur Science (Doomsday and Science)
• Dajjal, Imam Mahdi aur Hazrat Isa (A.S.)
• Modern Media and Spiritual Deception

These short videos are easier to share and reach younger audiences on mobile. The YouTube era represents a digital revival, keeping the spiritual conversation alive in a modern, fast-paced online world.

The Book: End of Time (2005)

In 2005, Dr. Shahid Masood also published a book titled “End of Time” through Mavra Publications (Lahore). The book condensed the key ideas from the original documentary series and discussed:

• Major and minor signs
• The system of Dajjal
• Global alliances and Armageddon
• The return of Prophet Isa (A.S.)

For readers who prefer text to video, this book remains one of the most detailed Islamic analyses linking spirituality and current affairs.

Why “End of Time” Still Matters

The success of End of Time lies not just in the topics it covers but in how Dr. Shahid Masood presents them. He speaks in a way that feels intimate, as if explaining deep concepts to a friend, not preaching to a crowd.

His storytelling style combines logic, faith, and emotion. He doesn’t use fear tactics but instead calls for reflection, self-accountability, and moral revival.

In a world where news changes every second and people feel lost in digital noise, End of Time reminds viewers that there is a bigger picture, one that connects heaven, earth, and human choice.

The Legacy

Over 20 years, End of Time has become a cultural and religious landmark. Students, scholars, and ordinary viewers still share clips and discuss its themes on social media. It has inspired discussions in mosques, universities, and even among non-Muslim audiences curious about how Islam views the “end of days.”

The show’s legacy rests on one timeless message:

“The signs are not meant to scare you, they are meant to wake you.”

Through Hidden Truth, The Lost Chapters, The Final Call, and The Moment, Dr. Shahid Masood has built a bridge between faith and reason, prophecy and progress, belief and responsibility.

Conclusion

“End of Time” is more than just a television series; it is a spiritual journey across eras. From its first broadcast in 2004 to its modern YouTube revival, it continues to challenge, inspire, and educate.

By blending classical Islamic knowledge with present-day awareness, Dr. Shahid Masood has left a permanent mark on how religious media can teach people to think, not just believe blindly.

His message remains as relevant today as it was two decades ago: The world may be changing fast, but truth, morality, and reflection never go out of time.
