A volcano erupted in Madina
This Basaltic Lava was running out of the cracks of the Arabian Peninsula’s 40-kilometer thick layer. After that, there were hot volcanic explosions for 52 days, causing lava and ash to spew out from a massive 20 km crack in the southeast of Madina.
The lava stopped 4 km away from Madinah
The lava from the volcano flowed for 23 kilometers and finally reached the city of Madinah. Just 4 km away from the city it was miraculously stopped.
The light from the burning volcano in Saudi Arabia lightened the night so much that it looked like a sunny bright day in Madinah. The people of Madina were entirely at a loss as to what they should do.
People prayed in Masjid al Nabawi
People were so frightened that they got together in Masjid al Nabawi and prayed to the Almighty to save them. Soon their prayers were answered, and the lava changed its direction away from Madina
Therefore, the city was saved from complete destruction. You can watch the speech of Shaykh Hamza Yusuf at the end of this article.
The area, which was covered by lava from north to south, is about 310 km and has a width of about 75 km.
Sign of the Day of Judgement
This volcanic lava eruption from the volcanic field Harrat Rahat is maybe one of the signs of the day of Judgement.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “The Hour will not be established till a fire will come out of the land of Hijaz, and it will throw light on the necks of the camels at Busra.” – Sahih al-Bukhari 7118
