Lowest
point on Earth in the Qur’an?
30:2
The Romans have been defeated 30:3 In the nearest (adna)
land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome
(The
root word of “adna” (nearest) is “Dal-Nun-Waw (Dal-Nun-Alif)”
and it means “near” and “low”)(These Verses were revealed
around 620 CE, so it might refer to the Byzantine (aka “Eastern
Roman Empire”) vs. Sasanian (aka “Neo-Persian Empire”) wars of
602-628. According to the article “Extreme points of Earth” in
wikipedia, “the lowest point on dry land is the shore of the Dead
Sea; it is 418 m below sea level)(The Dead Sea is located about 25km
east of Jerusalem. According to the article “Sasanian conquest of
Jerusalem”, the Siege of Jerusalem (614) was a decisive Sasanian
victory against the Byzantine Empire; and according to that article,
it took place in Jerusalem / Palaestina Prima district / Diocese of
the East. The Dead Sea belonged to the Palaestina Prima district, so
the Qur’an is in accordance with the historical accounts)(According
to the article “Palaestina Prima” in wikipedia, “Palaestina
Prima or “Palaestina I” was a Byzantine province from 390, until
the 7th century. It was lost to the Sassanid Empire in 614, but was
re-annexed in 628”. So, it is in accordance with the Qur’an,
which says that “after their defeat, will overcome”. It may refer
to the Battle of Nineveh (627), which was a decisive Byzantine
victory against the Sasanian Empire (Source: article “Battle of
Nineveh (627)” in wikipedia))(Notice that according to the article
“Palaestina Prima” in wikipedia, the Romans were defeated in the
whole district, because the article says “Palaestina Prima …. was
lost to the Sassanid Empire in 614”. So, the Persians got the whole
Palaestina Prima district, which includes the Dead Sea. Then we can
say that the Romans were defeated in the nearest land or Dead Sea,
together with other places in the same district, so it was not just
“Jerusalem”)(Allah knows best)
