Is The Euphrates River Drought A Sign That Judgment Day Is Near?

DAMASCUS – The Euphrates River is the longest river in Southwest Asia, its length is approximately 1,740 miles and is one of the two main constituents of the Upper-Euphrates river system. This river is found in the country Turks and flows southeast through Syria and through Iraq .

In addition to its main tributaries, the Euphrates River has two headwaters named the Karasu and Murad (ancient Nias Arsa) rivers that join somewhere near the Keban district in the Elazig province, where the Keban Dam is one of the most large (210 meters – 689 feet high) was built between 1965-1975.

The Euphrates River is formed by the confluence of the Karasu and Murat rivers and the Armenian highlands. The water of the Euphrates River flows from the main chain of the Taurus Mountains to the Syrian highlands. It then flows through western and central Iraq to join the Tigris River and continue as Shatt Al-Arab to the Persian Gulf.

Currently, the Euphrates River is experiencing a decrease in water discharge and it is estimated that the Euphrates River will experience a drought in 2040 due to the impact of climate change, causing a decrease in the river’s water discharge.

During these three years the water level in the Euphrates River has reached very low levels. The flow from Turkey to Syria is less than 200 cubic meters per second, which is much less than half the amount agreed between the two countries in 1987.

The receding waters of the Euphrates River have made several discoveries since ancient times, such as the discovery of the historic Hastag Castle in 2021 at low tide in the Keban Dam lake on the Euphrates River in Turkey’s Agin region.

Many people think that the dryness of the Euphrates River is a sign of the arrival of the Day of Judgment.

In the narration of Abu Hurairah ra, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “The day of judgment will not occur when the Euphrates River recedes, until a mountain of gold appears. And a mountain of gold appears. many people who are there are struggling to get hold of it. So ninety-nine of the hundred men who fought were killed. Everyone involved will say, “Let’s hope I’m the one who’s safe.”
