Islam Is The Only Truth

The Dead Sea (Hebrew: יָם הַ‏‏מֶּ‏‏לַ‏ח‎, "Sea of Salt"; Arabic: البَحْر المَيّت‎, "Dead Sea";) is a salt lake between Israel and the West Bank to the west, and Jordan to the east. It is 422 metres (1,385 ft) below sea level,[2] and its shores are the lowest point on the surface of Earth on dry land. The Dead Sea is 378 m (1,240 ft) deep, the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. It is also one of the world's saltiest bodies of water, with 33.7% salinity. Only Lake Assal (Djibouti), Garabogazköl and some hypersaline lakes of the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica (such as Don Juan Pond and perhaps Lake Vanda) have a higher salinity. It is 8.6 times as salty as the ocean.[3] This salinity makes for a harsh environment where animals cannot flourish, hence its name. The Dead Sea is 67 kilometres (42 mi) long and 18 kilometres (11 mi) wide at its widest point. It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River.The Dead Sea has attracted visitors from around the Mediterranean basin for thousands of years. Biblically, it was a place of refuge for King David. It was one of the world's first health resorts (for Herod the Great), and it has been the supplier of a wide variety of products, from balms for Egyptian mummification to potash for fertilizers. People also use the salt and the minerals from the Dead Sea to create cosmetics and herbal sachets.
The Dead Sea is an endorheic lake located in the Jordan Rift Valley, a geographic feature formed by the Dead Sea Transform (DST). This left lateral-moving transform fault lies along the tectonic plate boundary between the African Plate and the Arabian Plate. It runs between the East Anatolian Fault zone in Turkey and the northern end of the Red Sea Rift offshore of the southern tip of Sinai.The Jordan River is the only major water source flowing into the Dead Sea, although there are small perennial springs under and around the Dead Sea, creating pools and quicksand pits along the edges.[6] There are no outlet streams.Rainfall is scarcely 100 mm (4 in) per year in the northern part of the Dead Sea and barely 50 mm (2 in) in the southern part. The Dead Sea zone's aridity is due to the rainshadow effect of the Judean Hills. The highlands east of the Dead Sea receive more rainfall than the Dead Sea itself.To the west of the Dead Sea, the Judean Hills rise less steeply, and are much lower, than the mountains t the east. Along the southwestern side of the lake is a 210 m (700 ft) tall halite formation called "Mount Sodom".
In Islamic tradition, the Dead Sea was about the land in which the Prophet Lot lived. The people of the towns and cities were wicked for their acts of homosexuality, robbery and murder, and had therefore been given a punishment for such deeds. The punishment arrived when angels in the form of beautiful men were sent down by God as guests for Lot to host. When Lot's people heard of the men, they rushed to Lot's house to misbehave and asked him to turn the men over. This was their final test which they failed so the angel Gabriel raised the land where the prophet's people lived, tipped it upside down and threw it back on earth, causing the ground near the impact to cave in. Thus, the lowest land on Earth was formed because of this punishment. The non-believers (in the monotheism doctrine) were destroyed and the followers were saved. According to some interpretations, the sura of ar-Rum of the Quran refers to the Dead Sea as the lowest place on Earth.[13][14]
Here is an allusion from the Final Testament (The Quran) to the Dead Sea which covers most of the region in which Sodom and Gomorrah were once situated. Its waters contain so highly a percentage of sulfur and potash that no fish and plants can live in them.
29:33-35: And when Our messengers came unto Lot, he was sorely grieved on their account, seeing that it was beyond his power to shield them; but they said: "Fear not, and grieve not! Behold, we shall save thee and thy household-all but thy wife: she will indeed be among those who stay behind. Verily, we shall bring down upon the people of this land a horror from heaven in requital of all their iniquitous doings! And [so it happened; and] thereof, indeed,We have left a clear sign for people who use their reason.

  • وَلاَ تَسُبُّواْ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ فَيَسُبُّواْ اللّهَ عَدْوًا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ كَذَلِكَ زَيَّنَّا لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ عَمَلَهُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّهِم مَّرْجِعُهُمْ فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ {الأنعام/108}

  • awesome awsome

  • Surah Ar-Rum was revealed in 615 CE. Battle of Nineveh was in 627 CE. 30:4 says that within a period of 3-9 years (arabic: bida) the Byzantines will be victorious. How many years is that. 12 years. So unless the Quran was talking about the Battle of Issus (622 CE) it doesn't live up to its prophecy. If it's talking about Issus, it's true. The Battle of Issus was the beginning after which the Byzantines broke the power of the Sassanid empire of Persia. But it's relevant to which Battle you refer.

  • @ShanaHuda you mt friend are a moron ,,,, the fact is this no bone zero bone appear or devolops with out flesh ,,, thats zero ,, and it impossible for bone to devolop with out the flesh to nourish it under stand ? the flesh provides every thing the bone needs to grow and thats a fact ,,,, your koran does nt mention any thing about nervous system or defferentiate between flesh and that is a fact read it then read the medical manuals and see for your self ,,,, fool !
