The video introduces AlUla, a mysterious city in the red lands of Arabia, forbidden by Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Located in the northwest of Saudi Arabia, this area, also known as Madain Salih or Hegra, covers over 22,500 square kilometers and holds silent traces of history and the anger of Allah. It is introduced as the homeland of the people of Thamud, known for their unique rock carvings, and is currently experiencing environmental issues like a giant ozone hole above it.
The video recounts the story of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his companions during the expedition of Tabuk, passing through AlUla. Despite their thirst and hunger, the Prophet strictly forbade them from drinking the water or using anything from the land, instructing them to pass through only while crying or with fear in their hearts. This incident highlights the deep concern and warning associated with the place.
To understand the curse, the video delves into the history of the people of Thamud, who lived in AlUla approximately 4,000 years ago. They were a wealthy and powerful nation, skilled in carving cities from rocks, but their arrogance led them to abandon monotheism and worship idols. Prophet Salih was sent to guide them back to Allah, and as a miracle, a she-camel emerged from the rock. The Thamud disbelieved and eventually killed the camel, leading to a three-day warning from Salih before a devastating divine punishment destroyed them, leaving only their stone structures as a reminder.
The video concludes by revealing the shocking modern development in AlUla. Despite the historical warnings from Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the past destruction of the Thamud, the Saudi Arabian government is transforming this forbidden area into a tourism and entertainment center under the Vision 2030 project. Luxury hotels, electronic music festivals, and light shows are now commonplace, raising concerns about the disregard for sacred warnings and the potential consequences of forgetting history.
