On the other hand, there may be some truth to this story, and indeed there are many who believe that such a city could have once existed.Ī sketch of Iram of the Pillars. On one hand, the story of Iram may be taken just as a morality tale, used in order to preach that people must obey Allah, and not behave in an arrogant manner. In the end, Iram vanished beneath the sands as though it had never existed. As a result, the Ad were punished, and a sandstorm was sent against their city consecutively for seven nights and eight days. The people of Iram reacted with hostility and did not heed to words of Hud. As they had turned away from Allah and led wicked lives, the prophet Hud was sent to summon them to return to the worship of Allah without ascribing partners to Him, and to obey Him. In the Quran, Iram was said to be adorned with lofty buildings, and was populated by a group of people known as Ad. On a smaller scale, Arabia has its own legend of a lost civilization, the so-called ‘Atlantis of the Sands’ – a lost city, tribe, or area spoken of in the Quran, which has come to be known as Iram of the Pillars.

A major wadi, or dry stream bed, runs across the middle of the image and is shown largely in white due to strong radar scattering in all channels displayed (L and C HH, L-HV).' The prominent green areas (L-HV) are rough limestone rocks, which form a rocky desert floor. The prominent magenta colored area is a region of large sand dunes, which are bright reflectors at both L-and C-band. The image is constructed from three of the available SIR-C channels and displays L-band, HH (horizontal transmit and receive) data as red, C-band HH as blue, and L-band HV (horizontal transmit, vertical receive) as green. The image covers an area about 50 by 100 kilometers (31 miles by 62 miles). The SIR-C image shown is centered at 18.4 degrees north latitude and 53.6 degrees east longitude. This image was acquired on orbit 65 of space shuttle Endeavour on Apby the Space borne Imaging Radar C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR). and was a remote desert outpost where caravans were assembled for the transport of frankincense across the desert.
