Nice 😃

[@Dr.Pepper001]

Damascus only has around 2 million people, which is small in comparison to mideastern cities like Tehran and Bagdad.

The weird tone of superiority of the narration is irksome

[@wataniarabi6095]

The Natives 😏

[@inlovewithi]

His tone does not sound like he has a superiority tone. He sounds like a typical radio announcer from the era. Sounds very neutral to me. Especially since he's saying positive things about Damascus.

[@user-vk3od9cp6n]

Pride doesn’t mean feeling superiority.

Muhammad in Damascus 🤔

[@elenashulikina452]

eto matricni feyk .

[@elaovi]

Mohammed travelled to Damascus many times in his youth with his merchant uncle, before his prophethood

[@nadaalakkad7221]

The proverb is not from the Quran ... Minute 6:13. Kindly note.
Prophet muhammed (peace be upon him) had not been to Damascus actual. The narrative needs to be more accurate.

[@marinaharmon5775]

Many Jews are living there as it is the will of Elohim. Stay save brothers in Yeshua HaMasiah.

Glorious
Alas rabid animals from a certain mountain ruined it

شو هالعلاك المصدي , كلياتنا عباد الله ، بس في أغبياء مستكبرين وما بدن يعترفوا ، وفي صالحين مؤمنين بعبوديتهم لله عز وجل من دون أي استكبار
