Full transcript
- 0:01The destroyed cities mentioned in the Quran centuries ago
- 0:04are finally coming to light one by one.
- 0:09Deciphered hieroglyphs, stones that rained from the sky,
- 0:14ruins bearing the traces of destruction.
- 0:17In this video, we use artificial intelligence
- 0:20to visualize the sudden disappearance of the people of Lut, Saba, and Pharaoh.
- 0:25Thousands of years ago, they lived in wealth,
- 0:29built magnificent structures, and chased after arrogance and lust.
- 0:34But one day, everything turned upside down.
- 0:37The Quran described their destruction line by line.
- 0:40And Prophet Muhammad alayhi as-salam (peace be upon him)
- 0:42delivered these truths with absolute certainty
- 0:46even though it was impossible for him to know.
- 0:48And centuries later, science began to confirm them all.
- 0:52So, how do the pages of the Quran match perfectly with archaeological findings?
- 0:57How did all of these finally come out
- 0:59after being buried under the ground for so long?
- 1:03And how exactly were these three nations destroyed?
- 1:07If you are ready to witness them all, let's begin.
- 1:18"So, they were seized by the cry at sunrise.
- 1:22Then We turned the city upside down
- 1:24and rained down upon them stones of baked clay.
- 1:28Surely, it is located on the straight road."
- 1:36A mystery hidden for nearly 4,000 years was waiting to be uncovered.
- 1:41In 2005, the search for the truth led Steven Collins to a huge,
- 1:45silent hill in the Jordan Valley,
- 1:48Tall el-Hammam.
- 1:50Local people called it cursed and avoided it.
- 1:53But where exactly was this place?
- 1:56It was Sodom and Gomorrah,
- 1:58cities once famous for their incredible wealth,
- 2:01luxury, and beauty.
- 2:03But when morality collapses, what use is wealth?
- 2:08These cities were trapped in levels of sexual corruption never seen before.
- 2:12Prophet Lut alayhi as-salam (peace be upon him) warned them for years,
- 2:15even though he stood alone.
- 2:17But they refused to listen.
- 2:19And in the end, they were wiped out, just as the Quran described.
- 2:25For years, people laughed at the idea that such a disaster actually happened.
- 2:30Was it possible to find the remains of such a civilization?
- 2:33Could archeology really prove the story of Prophet Lut (peace be upon him)?
- 2:37The answer was waiting to be discovered, buried deep under layers of ash and stone.
- 2:44All eyes were on the Dead Sea.
- 2:46This area has been linked to the people of Lut for centuries.
- 2:50As archaeologists began to dig in Tall el-Hammam,
- 2:53remarkable findings began to emerge.
- 2:56Such as melted pottery, layers of ash, and burned human remains.
- 3:01It was as if these cities had been struck by a sudden disaster
- 3:06and collapsed all at once. But how?
- 3:09American and Jordanian researchers dug in the region for many years.
- 3:14And what they found would soon shock the entire world.
- 3:18It wasn't just a city; it was a giant city-state.
- 3:22The destruction wasn't random; it had a clear direction.
- 3:27This blast was so powerful that it tore buildings from their foundations
- 3:32and threw objects and bodies in the same direction, many meters away.
- 3:42Archaeologists found skeletons that were torn apart.
- 3:46Some bones were shattered into tiny fragments.
- 3:49One skeleton was found in a defensive position,
- 3:52trying to protect its face from the heat.
- 3:55Researchers found shocked quartz and diamond-like structures
- 3:59that only form under extreme pressure.
- 4:02They found rare elements like iridium and platinum melted into the soil.
- 4:07These minerals are typical signs of a space-based explosion.
- 4:11To melt these metals, the temperature had to reach 2,500 degrees Celsius,
- 4:18hotter than a volcano.
- 4:20Nothing on Earth could have created this much heat and pressure
- 4:24at such a low altitude.
- 4:26It was a rare and terrifying destruction that came down from the space.
- 4:31This discovery stunned the world.
- 4:34But for Muslims, it was as if the verses of the Quran
- 4:37were coming to life before their eyes.
- 4:40"We rained on them a shower of clay stones."
- 4:43"So when Our command came, We turned their city upside down."
- 4:48So, what is the Dead Sea like today?
- 4:51It is exactly as its name says: dead.
- 4:57The Quran makes a statement about ecology that is truly amazing,
- 5:02especially when you think about the time it was revealed.
- 5:05"Calamities have appeared on land and sea
- 5:08because of what the hands of the people have earned,
- 5:11so that Allah makes them taste some of what they did."
- 5:15Today, no fish or visible living organisms live in the Dead Sea.
- 5:20Because that place was once the home of a society
- 5:24who ignored the limits set by Allah.
- 5:26"Strangers, don't tell me you came all this way without bringing any women."
- 5:32"We don't have any women with us.
- 5:35Please let us go."
- 5:36Allah had sent them a messenger, but they rejected his words.
- 5:41The disaster was now only a few hours away.
- 5:45Angels of Allah came to visit Prophet Lut, appearing in the form of handsome men.
- 5:50But...
- 5:59"I saw another handsome one entering his home tonight."
- 6:04When the perverted men of the city heard about it,
- 6:07they surrounded the house.
- 6:09Their intentions were clear.
- 6:12"You can't hide them anymore.
- 6:14Come out now. Don't test our patience."
- 6:16The Prophet was filled with so much shame and embarrassment
- 6:19that it couldn't be described.
- 6:21He shouted: "Fear Allah, and do not disgrace me in respect of my guests.
- 6:26Is there no reasonable man among you?"
- 6:30"Get out!
- 6:32Leave us alone!"
- 6:34The scene they had once thought innocent had reached its darkest point that night.
- 6:39Prophet Lut wasted no time
- 6:42and left the city with a handful of believers.
- 6:45As the night turned to dawn, the entire nation was destroyed.
- 7:20Wealth, glory, pride...
- 7:23By morning, they had all been wiped from history.
- 7:27All that remained of them were stones and ashes.
- 7:35This time, we journey to ancient Egypt.
- 7:38One of the most powerful civilizations in history.
- 7:42It was a land of great wealth, palaces, and strong armies.
- 7:47But one day, their ruler, Pharaoh, was terrified by a dream.
- 8:02It predicted his fall, caused by a boy from the Children of Israel.
- 8:06So, to protect his crown, he gave a cruel order.
- 8:16"Every newborn boy must be killed!"
- 8:19And that was exactly when Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) was born.
- 8:31However, his mother followed a divine inspiration
- 8:34and sent him down the Nile in a wooden chest.
- 8:45In a strange twist of fate,
- 8:48the river delivered him to the enemy's palace.
- 8:51Pharaoh didn't know that the very child he feared
- 8:54was now being raised in his own home.
- 8:57And years later, destiny drew Musa (peace be upon him)
- 9:01away from the palace to prepare him for his true mission.
- 9:05After living a quiet life in the desert,
- 9:08Musa alayhi as-salam (peace be upon him) returned to the heart of Egypt
- 9:11to fulfill the divine task he had been given.
- 9:14The greatest battle between a king's pride
- 9:16and a prophet's mission was about to begin.
- 9:19For centuries, no one could understand the ancient Egyptian writings.
- 9:24However, everything changed with a single discovery:
- 9:27the Rosetta Stone.
- 9:29This stone became the key to the past,
- 9:31allowing us to finally read the hieroglyphs.
- 9:34And once again, when we look at the Quran,
- 9:37we find precise historical data that matches modern discoveries.
- 9:41Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had no way to access these hidden truths
- 9:46because the language was dead.
- 9:48This creates a logical conclusion.
- 9:51If the Quran shares hidden history that turn out to be true centuries later,
- 9:56it must be the word of the Creator.
- 9:58These findings prove that the journey of Musa was a real, historical event.
- 10:03It is also important to note that these specific realities about Egypt
- 10:08do not exist in the Torah.
- 10:10To give a simple example, let's look at the titles used in the Quran.
- 10:14The ruler in the story of Musa is called Pharaoh.
- 10:17But the ruler in the story of Yusuf is called King.
- 10:21Historical records show that the term Pharaoh was only used
- 10:25starting from the New Kingdom era,
- 10:27which is the exact time of Musa (peace be upon him).
- 10:30Before that, in Prophet Yusuf's time, Egyptian rulers were called kings.
- 10:35The Torah, however, uses Pharaoh for both periods without making this distinction.
- 10:41It calls both of them Pharaoh.
- 10:43This shows that the Quran has a unique historical accuracy
- 10:47that didn't exist in the Old Testament.
- 10:50To see another example of how the Quran reveals hidden history,
- 10:54we can look at the day of the great confrontation.
- 10:57When the Pharaoh heard the message of Musa (peace be upon him),
- 11:00he was filled with pride and anger.
- 11:03To prove his own power, he challenged Musa to a public contest.
- 11:08"This court will not bow before your God's magic.
- 11:12Egypt shall answer with its finest magicians.
- 11:15Let's set a time for us to meet at a suitable place that no one can miss."
- 11:19Musa (peace be upon him) chose the date carefully.
- 11:22He chose a day when everyone would gather.
- 11:25Interestingly, the Quran calls this day Yawm az-Zinah (the day of adornment),
- 11:29which means the day of adornment, decoration, and beauty.
- 11:33And that is precisely what made this festival so different from the others.
- 11:38When we look at ancient Egyptian history,
- 11:40we see a major celebration known as the Opet Festival.
- 11:44And the most striking feature of this festival was decoration.
- 11:49Houses were decorated, men and women beautified themselves,
- 11:52temples were decorated, idols were decorated,
- 11:56and those idols were carried through beautifully decorated streets.
- 12:00So, it was truly a day of decoration.
- 12:03Once again, the Quran reveals a truth that history had forgotten.
- 12:08And again, you won't find this detail in the Torah.
- 12:12Despite the clear miracles Musa (peace be upon him) showed...
- 12:25the Pharaoh refused to believe.
- 12:27He chose to continue his cruelty against the Children of Israel.
- 12:31And as a result,
- 12:33a series of natural disasters and plagues were sent as warnings to Egypt.
- 12:38Floods...
- 12:43locusts...
- 12:46insects...
- 12:48frogs...
- 12:50waters turning to blood,
- 12:54and years of famine.
- 12:59"What is happening to us?"
- 13:03"His curse! Musa's wrath has descended on us!"
- 13:06Even today, we can see these calamities recorded in the documents of that time.
- 13:12In the Ipuwer Papyrus,
- 13:14kept in the National Museum of the Netherlands.
- 13:17Some of its lines are really surprising.
- 13:20"There is blood everywhere.
- 13:22The truth is, the river is blood, yet people drink from it.
- 13:26People have become afraid of each other.
- 13:29Even after drinking water, they remain thirsty.
- 13:39What was seen yesterday is no longer here today.
- 13:42The land has been drained and left in ruin like a field stripped of its flax.
- 13:52Upper Egypt has turned to ruin.
- 13:54Indeed, grain has perished on every side.
- 13:57The land is without light.
- 14:00"Could Musa truly be sent by a mighty God?
- 14:04Perhaps...
- 14:06he was telling the truth."
- 14:08"There is a deadly plague throughout the land."
- 14:17Finally, it was time for the Children of Israel to leave Egypt.
- 14:22Following the divine command, Musa (peace be upon him)
- 14:24gathered the believers secretly in the middle of the night
- 14:27and set out towards freedom.
- 14:29However, it didn't take long for the Pharaoh to find out.
- 14:37"Musa...
- 14:38before this sun sets, you will kneel before me.
- 14:43Soldiers! No one should escape today!"
- 14:47The Pharaoh and his massive army started to chase them.
- 14:52The believers reached the edge of the sea,
- 14:54trapped between the water and the approaching army.
- 14:58"We have nowhere to go now."
- 15:08"There is Musa! And his people!"
- 15:15"Musa!
- 15:18You think you can run from me?"
- 15:24By the command of Allah,
- 15:26Musa (peace be upon him) struck the sea with his staff,
- 15:29and the water split into two gigantic walls,
- 15:33creating a dry path in the middle.
- 15:42At once, believers rushed into the sea, walking between the walls.
- 15:47Seeing this scene, the Pharaoh didn't hesitate.
- 15:50"Even the sea obeys my will.
- 15:55Nothing can save those who flee from me!"
- 15:58Blinded by his anger, he led his army into the heart of the sea.
- 16:03He thought the path was for him too.
- 16:05But he was actually walking into a divine trap.
- 16:11"Even your God can't save you today, Musa!"
- 16:14All of a sudden, a loud terrifying roar began to rise.
- 16:19And the sea, with all its might, started to close over them.
- 16:24There was nowhere to run.
- 16:27"We are doomed!
- 16:28This is Musa's wrath!"
- 16:37The Pharaoh tried to repent, but it was too late.
- 16:41For centuries, the pharaohs claimed they were divine.
- 16:44They even believed that nature itself reacted to their death.
- 16:48The pyramid texts of the Fifth Dynasty explicitly state this:
- 16:53"The sky weeps for you, the Earth trembles for you."
- 16:57However, the Quran challenges this royal propaganda.
- 17:00It says that when the Pharaoh and his army drowned,
- 17:03neither heaven nor Earth wept for them.
- 17:06Surah Ad-Dukhan verse 29.
- 17:09The Quran's use of the exact opposite of these pyramid inscriptions
- 17:14is an incredible historical miracle.
- 17:17It proves that the source of the Quran knew the most secret writings of ancient Egypt.
- 17:23And the Quran ends the story of Pharaoh with a shocking promise:
- 17:27"So today We will save your body so that you may be a sign to those after you."
- 17:32This was a statement during a time when the Egyptian language
- 17:36and its traditions were completely dead.
- 17:39And indeed, archaeologists have found the mummified bodies of ancient rulers.
- 17:44And interestingly,
- 17:45some of them are believed to be from the era of Musa (peace be upon him).
- 17:50Seeing them today is a powerful witness to the truth.
- 17:53The Quran describes ancient Egypt like a detailed map.
- 17:57For example, it mentions a man named Haman,
- 18:00who was close to the Pharaoh and was responsible for construction.
- 18:05When hieroglyphs were finally decoded, a name was discovered: Haman.
- 18:10And his title: Chief of the stone quarry workers.
- 18:14This is a perfect match.
- 18:16The Quran also mentions the name of a man called Samiri
- 18:20during the time of Musa (peace be upon him).
- 18:22And today, we know about an Egyptian priestly group called the Semeryu,
- 18:27which perfectly matches the characteristics of that man described in the Quran.
- 18:32How could Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
- 18:34know these specific titles?
- 18:36Yet, the Quran describes them with 100% accuracy.
- 18:41This is not just history.
- 18:43It's a divine signature.
- 18:45This is not the work of a man.
- 18:47It's the word of the Creator of time itself.
- 18:53Our final stop is a barren valley stretching under the scorching Yemeni sun.
- 18:59For centuries, giant stone ruins sat here, half-hidden by the sand.
- 19:05People could see old walls and broken pillars in the sand,
- 19:08but they didn't know what they were for.
- 19:11About 150 years ago, explorers like Joseph Halévy and Eduard Glaser
- 19:16found ancient stones covered in mysterious writing.
- 19:20These texts told a story of a dam and two fertile lands.
- 19:25A dam in the middle of the desert?
- 19:27What was it doing there?
- 19:28Decades later, when the big excavations finally began,
- 19:32they found two massive gates that sent the water into two perfect directions.
- 19:37What's interesting is that this discovery that surprised people
- 19:41was already written in the Quran long ago.
- 19:44"Indeed, there was a sign for the people of Saba in their homeland:
- 19:48two gardens, one on the right, one on the left."
- 19:52Saba was a society definitively known to have lived in Yemen.
- 19:56Once, in the middle of this barren valley, there was a magnificent sight:
- 20:01gardens, water channels, and green land.
- 20:05The secret was the 580-meter Marib Dam,
- 20:09a structure that fed thousands of hectares.
- 20:12Its clever design channeled the water into two directions.
- 20:16This created lush gardens on both the right and the left sides of the valley.
- 20:21So, if Allah willed, even the desert could become a garden.
- 20:25But as the people of Saba grew richer, they forgot to be thankful.
- 20:30They crossed the limits set by Allah.
- 20:33Instead of thanking Allah for such a gift, they used it to fuel their pride.
- 20:37Like every sinful nation, they were warned.
- 20:40But they continued their lives ignoring the warnings.
- 20:44So, at the peak of their wealth, when they least expected it,
- 20:48the dam cracked.
- 20:50A great flood was coming.
- 21:09The water suddenly destroyed the stone walls and flowed into the city,
- 21:14ruining the gardens.
- 21:31It swept away all their magnificence.
- 21:34The ayah (verse) says: "But they turned away,
- 21:37so We sent to them the flood of the dam,
- 21:40and replaced their two gardens with two gardens having fruits of bitter taste,
- 21:45and tamarisks bushes and a few lote trees."
- 21:49The phrase Arim (dam) flood mentioned in the verse was not just any random name.
- 21:53Arim (dam) means dam or barrier in Arabic.
- 21:57So Arim flood describes exactly how the flood happened:
- 22:01with the collapse of the dam.
- 22:03In a famous inscription known as CIH 541,
- 22:08we see the desperate struggle to save the dam.
- 22:11This wasn't a small repair; it was a massive national project.
- 22:16Thousands of people worked for months to repair the dam.
- 22:20So, the puzzle was complete.
- 22:23Do you know what the Quran tells us?
- 22:25"Have the disbelievers not traveled through the land
- 22:28and seen the end of those who went before them?"
- 22:31Today, researchers are finding those traces one by one.
- 22:35And all of this is just the beginning.
- 22:38The Quran had already given many details about the past.
- 22:42But the person who told these stories, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him),
- 22:46could neither read nor write.
- 22:48Even if he had known how to read and write, he wasn't an archaeologist.
- 22:52He hadn't done any digging, hadn't analyzed any findings,
- 22:56nor decoded a single inscription.
- 22:58How could he speak of cities and events
- 23:01that history would not reveal for centuries?
- 23:04The answer is clear: he was informed by Allah.
- 23:07The One who has complete knowledge of everything.
- 23:11These nations were destroyed because they ignored the warnings of Allah.
- 23:15But the most frightening part is this: Whatever led past nations to destruction,
- 23:21we have more than enough.
- 23:23Perhaps the only difference is
- 23:25that the punishment now comes not from above or below, but from within us.
- 23:30Today, almost no one questions how we are being warned.
- 23:35Spiritual exhaustion.
- 23:37Social collapse.
- 23:40The breakdown of family ties.
- 23:43The modern depression epidemic.
- 23:45Lives that once brought pleasure now bring pain.
- 23:49Crime rates.
- 23:51The constant waves of infectious diseases.
- 23:55The destruction of nature.
- 23:57The climate crisis, and so on.
- 24:01Have you ever thought about it?
- 24:03Perhaps the punishment of this age is a quiet, ongoing collapse.
- 24:08Is it really the work of a wise person to do the same thing
- 24:11and expect different results?
- 24:13Their opportunity has ended.
- 24:16But we are still breathing.
- 24:18Remember the detail in the verse:
- 24:20"Allah makes them taste some of what they did, in order that they may return."
- 24:25The reason for all of this is clear... They may return.
- 24:29We have a Lord who wants us to turn back to Him.
- 24:32Doesn't your heart feel like: I should take this call seriously?
- 24:36If you don't want to become a warning for those who will come after you,
- 24:40open your eyes now.
