Paradise of Shaddad (Part 2)

Now we describe the story of Shaddad Paradise (Part 2) in english:

Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) about shddad Paradise

Translation: Those who were Iram had great pillars and no city was as glorious as it among the cities.


The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had predicted that a person from my Ummah would reach this city in search of his camel. Hazrat Abdullah bin Qalaba, who is a Companion of Hazrat Muhammad S.W, They went there by chance. Suddenly one of His camels ran away. Abdullah Bin Qalabah R.A reached that city while searching for it. When he saw its minarets and walls, he fell down unconscious. When he came to his senses, he began to think that the situation of this city looks the same as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had told us about the Paradise of Shaddad. He think that, (Am I dreaming or does it have anything to do with reality?

Going to Hazrat Amer Muawiya R.A

He got up in the same state and went inside the city. The streams and trees inside it were also like heaven. But there was no human being there. He picked up some gems lying there and went back. From there, he directly reached Damascus, the capital of that time. Hazrat Amer Muawiya R.A was present there. He described what had happened to him there. Hazrat Ameer Muawiya asked him, did you see that city while awake or in a dream?
Hazrat Abdullah said that he had seen it while awake. Then tell all its signs that it is at such a distance on this side of the mountain of Aden. There is such and such a tree on one side and such a well on the other side, and these jewels and rubies I have brought from there as a sign. Hazrat Amir Muawiyah was very surprised after hearing this incident. Then information was obtained from the scholars about whether such a city was ever built in the world whose bricks were made of gold and silver. Scholars said that yes, it has been mentioned in the Qur’an as well. In this verse, “Iram Zat-ul-Imad” is this city. But Allah has hidden it from the eyes of people.

The Pity of Malik Al Mout on shaddad 2 time

Malik Alamut felt pity for Shaddad twice.

Once Allah Almighty asked Malik Alamut:
Have you ever felt sorry for someone while constipating his soul. Malik Alamut said: Yes
Twice I felt great pity, For the first time, when a mother was traveling in the sea with her infant child, there was a storm in the sea, the boat broke into pieces, that mother was struggling in the sea with her newborn child on a board. At that time I received your order that the soul of this woman should be captured. So I captured the soul of that woman and that child was left alone on that board, then that board landed on an island and the second time I captured Shaddad’s soul, I felt great pity. He was your enemy, but he had built paradise with great effort and you did not even give him a chance to see it.

Allah Answer to Malik Al Maout

Allah Taala Said :O Malik Al Maout, You pitied the same person both times.
We nurtured the child whom you saw on the board, honored him, gave him power, and that wretch became our denier and began to prepare his paradise in comparison to our paradise. In fact, Shaddad was the infant child whose mother’s soul was possessed by you.
Its remains were discovered in 1984(Which is in the part of Rub al-Khali which is included in Oman toda) with the help of space shuttle Challenger. From 3000 BC to 1st century AD, the city was located on the camel caravan route from which trade was carried out to India, Arabia and Europe and it was a commercial center of its time. It is said that this city was destroyed by a great storm. It is called the city of a thousand pillars. Its pillars were very high. Paradise of Shaddad, which is mentioned in this verse of the Quran is
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ Pillars of Aram (ارم کے ستونوں والے).

The end of Shaddad and his paradise

Now we describe the end of shadad and his jannat.

After the death of Saddad, Hazrat Jibraeel (A.S.) gave a very loud scream. As a result, the entire city, with its magnificent decorations, was simultaneously buried in the ground, leaving no name or trace behind. According to reliable commentaries, after the death of the king and his army, the city was also hidden from the eyes of the people. However, sometimes at night, the people of Aden and its surroundings can see some light and catch a glimpse of it. This light belongs to the walls of that city.

Where are the ruins of Aram located?
