Transcript A pit of Fire - Signs in the Horizons

In The Name Of Allah, Most
Beneficent, the Merciful
You were at the brink of a pit of fire, •
and He saved you therefrom
You shall hold fast to the rope of GOD, all of you, and do
not be divided. Recall GOD's blessings upon you - you
used to be enemies and He reconciled your hearts. By
His grace, you became brethren. You were at the brink
of a pit of fire, and He saved you therefrom. GOD thus
explains His revelations for you, that you may be guided.
103 Al Imran
This Aiat (verse) is directed to
the two tribes of El Medina Al
Munawara; namely Al Aws and El
Khazrag.
God has given them two
blessings:
1- They were enemies but Allah
made them beloved.
2- El Medina was at the brink of a
pit of fire, I.e. they were about to
have a volcanic eruption but Allah
saved them from it.
The mechanism of Harrat( series of small
volcanoes formation- A magma hole of fire
that gets opened and closed as the
movement of crust( plate tectonics) brings
the pit in conjunction with a crack in the
crust.
Ref: solar system 161
The existence of some shield volcanoes in El
Harrat implies that plate tectonic might have
stopped for a while during geological history

Harrat" is a plural form of a term given to the lava •
Harrat Ash- .fields of the Arabian Penninsula
Shamah is located in NW Saudi Arabia and extends
into Jordan and Syria. These fields are made of
tuff ,fluid basaltic lavas and have cinder cones
composite volcanoes and small shield ,rings
volcanoes scattered across them. The basalts
contain plagioclase, olivine and pyroxene minerals.
The volcanic activity which created the lava fields •
happened in five separate episodes. During the
quiet periods between eruptions, winds blew sands
onto the lavas, so that there is an inter-layering of
sediments and lavas. The volcanic activity began
10-14 million years ago, and the most recent
eruptions were only a few hundred years ago.
Eruptions will probably resume in the future. The
volcanic activity took place from long fissures, and
