Al Habtoor Publishing, a newly established division of Al Habtoor Group, has announced the reprint of Christ Returns to Earth Again – The Final Mission by Dr. Mahmoud Ibrahim Al-Deek as its inaugural release. The selection of this book reflects Al Habtoor Publishing’s commitment to fostering interfaith dialogue and promoting the values of tolerance and coexistence—principles long upheld by the Group’s Founder and Chairman, Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor.
The book offers an in-depth exploration of the life of Jesus Christ (peace be upon him), a prophet revered across faiths, examining his birth, teachings, divine mission, and eventual return. Drawing from both the Holy Quran and the Bible, the work provides a well-researched perspective that highlights the commonalities between religious texts, emphasizing the importance of mutual understanding and interfaith harmony.
As the UAE marks 2025 as the Year of Community and with the holy month of Ramadan approaching, Al Habtoor Publishing plans to distribute the book to public libraries, as well as university and school libraries, ensuring it reaches a broad audience and enriches intellectual and spiritual discourse. To further extend its impact, the book will be published in both Arabic and English, making its insightful content accessible to a diverse readership.
Commenting on this initiative, Khalaf Al Habtoor stated: "Reprinting this book aligns with our dedication to supporting intellectual endeavours that foster dialogue and understanding among different cultures and faiths. Knowledge serves as a bridge for meaningful conversations, and we hope this publication will contribute to strengthening universal human values and interfaith connection."
The book comprises 18 chapters, each offering a detailed analysis of different aspects of Jesus Christ’s life and mission, delving into its historical and theological dimensions while exploring his role in the end times. Through this well-researched approach, the book represents a significant contribution to religious and intellectual literature, providing clarity on key concepts and enriching readers’ understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him).
With this launch, Al Habtoor Publishing reaffirms its commitment to fostering intellectual and cultural dialogue, promoting values of tolerance, and strengthening interfaith connections—principles that align with the UAE’s vision of cultural engagement and religious awareness.
