Assalam Alaikum,

My tutor came back from Singapore and he said that this exhibition is worth going for! I decided to google the story behind this city and, indeed, Allah(SWT) makes his Ayat clear to us so that we may be guided...

And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah (i.e. this Qur'an), and be not divided among yourselves , and remember Allah's Favour on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became brethren (in Islamic Faith), and you were on the brink of a pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus Allah makes His Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.,) clear to you, that you may be guided.
( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #103)

So, the story of Pompeii... hmMmm... Similar to the story of Prophet Lut...


And We turned (the cities) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay. Surely! In this are signs for those who see (or understand or learn the lessons from the Signs of Allah).
( سورة الحجر , Al-Hijr, Chapter #15, Verse #74-75)

In 79CE, the cosmopolitan city of Pompeii and much of its surrounding area were buried under volcanic ash and pumice following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in southern Italy. It was not until the mid-18th century that this city was slowly revealed to the world through archaeological excavations...







W'salam,
