The allure of dystopian novels lies in how they scrutinize the relationships between humans and the environment in a post-apocalyptic world. This introduction discusses mankind's fascination with the end of the world and how authors utilize the opportunity to create innovative ideas on a 'tabula rasa' to shape the social fabric and environment of a post-apocalyptic world.

The analysis begins with the origins of the apocalypse concept in eschatological narratives, compares Biblical and Qur'anic depictions, and investigates how contemporary authors utilize and adapt these elements to address current and forthcoming environmental issues in their works.
