  • The Lost Suras of the Quran?

    The Lost Suras of the Quran?
    Apr 27 2026

    Did the Quran once contain additional suras that are no longer part of the standard text? In this video, we explore reports about the codex of Ubayy ibn Ka'b and examine claims about “lost” or excluded suras during the Uthmanic recension.

  • Atlantis of the Sands - The Legend of the Lost City of Arabia

    Atlantis of the Sands - The Legend of the Lost City of Arabia
    Apr 5 2026

    Was the legendary “Atlantis of the Sands” real? In this video, we explore the mystery of Iram of the Pillars, the lost city often linked to the ancient people of ʿĀd mentioned in the Qurʾān. We explore whether it was originally a city or the name of a people, and all the legends surrouding it until this very day.
