In the valley of Al-Hijr lived the tribe of Thamud. This valley is in modern-day northern Saudi Arabia. It is about 2 to 3 hours north of Madinah. These people were known for their excellent craftsmanship and architectural marvels. They were amongst the ancient Arab tribes. Also, they were a continuation of the civilization that inhabited the lands of Petra in Jordan as well.

I wonder what the landscape was like 2000years ago. I bet it was more fertile, like a Savannah with more wildlife. Otherwise why go to all the effort building structures in a wasteland?
Indeed, Arabia used to be green and prosperous, as mentioned in the hadith and proven by science, and it will be so again very soon as prophesied by Muhammed (asws) .
First of all there were a lot of settlements in the desert that became modern cities in Saudi Arabia, that existed on trading routes, oasises and use cisterns and other irrigation systems like they said in the video, it did not need to be green. And second of all savannahs occur around the tropics, here it would have been a temperate more Mediterranean climate if it was green.
This is called Madain As Salih. This is the place where the tribe of Thamud was destroyed when they disobeyed Allah. Our beloved Prophet ﷺ, prohibited us from visiting this place and even forbid drinking water from it's wells.

The Nabateans were from the northern Arabian peninsula who spoke an Ancient form of Arabic, but also spoke a form of Aramaic (Nabatean Aramaic) which was used mostly for trade and writing in the north. Aramaic became the lingua franca of the Levant and Mesopotamia, with many forms and dialects. Famously, Aramaic is often associated Jesus Christ, being his native language. However, his dialect was from Galilee where he grew up, which is a form of Jewish Palestinian Aramaic. Aramaic is still spoken today in the Levant such as Syria, and parts of Mesopotamia and Iran. They are categorised as Western and Eastern Aramaic, one being vastly different from the other.
You are too sensitive; and can't read. Every word said by a person is written on the screen. For normal people this allows them to ignore the music. Though I, for one, do not understand your complaint.
Did these so-called tombs contain any bodies? Just curious as to what evidence there is that these were tombs. Archeologists still don’t know what the “Treasury” in Petra actually was.
According to Islamic scripture these were not tombs but actual dwellings. People did not build these magnificent structures only to bury their dead in. Truthfully these people were gifted with strength to build and lift heavy stones and carve beyond any other nation ever had before them (Nation of Aad was also capable of such structures but all traces of them were wiped out). But these people eventually fell into absolute disobedience of God. Kind of like mad with power sort of thing and thats when God sent his prophet to Guide them but when they shunned him away, eventually they were destroyed by God, but their monuments were left to show to ones who came after what happened to these people so we would repent and know that even the most powerful of us are answerable to God. True story in Quran about these people. Hope this helps.
It must be mentioned that the Nabataeans are Arabs, so that many stupid people do not get confused. They say that these ancient civilizations and antiquities in the Middle East are not Arab, and why is it because of the names that scholars and explorers gave them Sabaen Nabataeans Dilmun and so on?

The other forgotten Petra is simply a metaphor for many MANY beautiful sites or places around the world that can be just as incredible or as beautiful as some of equal but (much) more famous places. This has to do with media coverage, and to my knowledge even just based on the wealth and status of a country. I mean. If France for example didn't have it' golden era 100-400 years ago, and wouldn't still be gliding on this dissipating wave after it's era, and with still loads of media coverage or even just dedicated France magazines, not even closely as many people would know or care about France. In Europe there are a couple of countries with much greater total beauty than France and yet France is the most famous one. For example, my personal most loved country Greece, is gorgeous throughout it's lands as it's extremely diverse. France is 90% the same in flatness and light hills with only some mountains on the borders in the south and south east. And these places are of great beauty no doubt. But Greece is 80% mountainous and is gorgeous everywhere, and even though Greece is growing immensely fast in the amount of tourism, which has the world record for having over 3x more tourists than it's own population, still according to my own knowledge and experiences, most places in Greece of exceptional beauty are unknown or lesser known to the vast majority of the world. And since I have observed this extensively, Im very aware of the world and how the media is having a major impact on what people think.
@@alfsen_3426 Just a question, are you maybe Greek? Because without a doubt Greece is wonderful, but so are many other places in Europe, and it's just on the individual taste of the person if a mountanious region like Greece is "better" in their eyes or maybe flatlands, or a country that has many interesting old medieval towns. France is not boring, it has a rich history, but so do many other places. But when you started your argument, I would have never had Greece in mind, it has lots of tourists. I was rather thinking of places like the Balkan region, or Baltic states, that are barely mentioned.

Some should not think that it just a necropolise . It was a thriving city . It was the southern capital of the Nabateans . A smart water system was in it . But the tombs were inside the houses as in Petra . When they disobeyed Allah, Allah punished them and left their homes as a lesson for us.

The Nabateans were from the northern Arabian peninsula who spoke an Ancient form of Arabic, but also spoke a form of Aramaic (Nabatean Aramaic) which was used mostly for trade and writing in the north. Aramaic became the lingua franca of the Levant and Mesopotamia, with many forms and dialects.
Famously, Aramaic is often associated Jesus Christ, being his native language. However, his dialect was from Galilee where he grew up, which is a form of Jewish Palestinian Aramaic.
Aramaic is still spoken today in the Levant such as Syria, and parts of Mesopotamia and Iran. They are categorised as Western and Eastern Aramaic, one being vastly different from the other.

Did these so-called tombs contain any bodies? Just curious as to what evidence there is that these were tombs. Archeologists still don’t know what the “Treasury” in Petra actually was.
According to Islamic scripture these were not tombs but actual dwellings. People did not build these magnificent structures only to bury their dead in. Truthfully these people were gifted with strength to build and lift heavy stones and carve beyond any other nation ever had before them (Nation of Aad was also capable of such structures but all traces of them were wiped out). But these people eventually fell into absolute disobedience of God. Kind of like mad with power sort of thing and thats when God sent his prophet to Guide them but when they shunned him away, eventually they were destroyed by God, but their monuments were left to show to ones who came after what happened to these people so we would repent and know that even the most powerful of us are answerable to God. True story in Quran about these people. Hope this helps.

The other forgotten Petra is simply a metaphor for many MANY beautiful sites or places around the world that can be just as incredible or as beautiful as some of equal but (much) more famous places. This has to do with media coverage, and to my knowledge even just based on the wealth and status of a country. I mean. If France for example didn't have it' golden era 100-400 years ago, and wouldn't still be gliding on this dissipating wave after it's era, and with still loads of media coverage or even just dedicated France magazines, not even closely as many people would know or care about France. In Europe there are a couple of countries with much greater total beauty than France and yet France is the most famous one. For example, my personal most loved country Greece, is gorgeous throughout it's lands as it's extremely diverse. France is 90% the same in flatness and light hills with only some mountains on the borders in the south and south east. And these places are of great beauty no doubt. But Greece is 80% mountainous and is gorgeous everywhere, and even though Greece is growing immensely fast in the amount of tourism, which has the world record for having over 3x more tourists than it's own population, still according to my own knowledge and experiences, most places in Greece of exceptional beauty are unknown or lesser known to the vast majority of the world. And since I have observed this extensively, Im very aware of the world and how the media is having a major impact on what people think.
@@alfsen_3426 Just a question, are you maybe Greek? Because without a doubt Greece is wonderful, but so are many other places in Europe, and it's just on the individual taste of the person if a mountanious region like Greece is "better" in their eyes or maybe flatlands, or a country that has many interesting old medieval towns. France is not boring, it has a rich history, but so do many other places. But when you started your argument, I would have never had Greece in mind, it has lots of tourists. I was rather thinking of places like the Balkan region, or Baltic states, that are barely mentioned.
I think you are affraid of the truth ... what you believe is convenient with what you feel and live, just a cultural thing not science ...
