Hazrat Ibrahim – Knowledge based Documentary Film – Video

حضرت ابراہیم خلیل اللہ علیہ السلام کے متعلق ڈاکیومنٹری فلم

Ibrahim (Arabic: ابراهيم) , the biblical patriarch Abraham (circa born between 1900 BC to 1861 BC – died between 1814 BC to 1716 BC), is an important prophet in Islam. He is the son of Azar and the father of Ismail (Ishmael) – his first born son – and Is’haq (Isaac) his second born, both of whom are considered Islamic prophets. Ibrahim is considered the Father of the Prophets. Ibrahim is commonly termed Khalil Allah, or “Friend of God” or “Braheem”. Islam regards many sorts of the biblical patriarchs as prophets of Allah, and hence as Muslims (i.e., monotheists). Ibrahim is regarded as a Hanif (meaning a discoverer of monotheism without being taught by a messenger). Because of their mutual veneration for Abraham, Islam, Christianity and Judaism are sometimes summarized under the term “Abrahamic religions”.

Period of Hazrat Saleh – Qome Samood Remainings – Video

حضرت صالح علیہ السلام کی قوم قوم ِ ثمود کے تاریخی باقیات

Saleh or Salih (Arabic: صالح‎) is an Arabic name meaning Righteous, and in particular the Qur’an mentions a man named Saleh as having been a prophet of Islam. Salih is described as having been born and raised among the Thamud, a group of people who lived in an area between Palestine and the Hijaz ( called Mada’in Saleh ) . The Thamud are said to have lived in stone houses carved into mountains, and to have worshipped idols made from stone. Saleh tried to convince his people not to worship idols and to embrace Tawhid, but they refused, insisting that Saleh obtain a miracle; the narrative goes on to state that God responded by creating a female camel (the she-camel of God), which the Thamud were allowed to milk for sustenance, but were not allowed to harm. Despite the instruction, the Thamud slaughtered the camel because of their rebellion, so God ordered Saleh to leave his people; when Saleh had complied by leaving, there was a large thunderous sound that destroyed the Thamud. Here is a Qome Samood remainings video.

Seven Holy Sleepers – Cave of Ashab-e-Kahf – Video

اصحاب کھف کے غار کے تاریخی باقیات

The Roman Martyrology mentions the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus under the date of 27 June, as follows: “Commemoration of the seven Holy Sleeper of Ephesus, who, it is recounted, after undergoing martyrdom, rest in peace, awaiting the day of resurrection.” The Byzantine Calendar commemorates them with feasts on 4 August and 22 October. They are also regarded as pious in Islam, and are known as “People of the Cave” (Ashab Al-Kahf).

A legend about them tells of the falling asleep of seven young men in a cave, who wake up after a great deal of time has passed. The basic outline of the tale appears in Gregory of Tours (b. 538 – d. 594), and in Paul the Deacon’s (b. 720 – d. 799) History of the Lombards. The best-known version of the story appears in Jacobus de Voragine’s Golden Legend. Their story also appears in the Qur’an (Surah 18, verse 9-26), which also includes the mention of an accompanying dog beside them named Qitmir.
