- With a geographical area of 2.14 million square kilometers, Saudi Arabia is the 14th biggest nation in the world and is more than one-fifth the size of America. This makes it nearly as big as Western Europe. The nation is well-known for its harsh climate and little rainfall. The region has been far from green due to its composition of largely desert and somewhat dry lands. An astonishing phenomenon, however, is now taking place in the desert. Surprisingly, the desert is fast transforming into rich farmlands, a phenomenon that even experts find perplexing.

Prophet Muhammed (ﷺ) said in a hadith, "The Last Hour will not come before wealth becomes abundant and overflowing, so much so that a man takes Zakat out of his property and cannot find anyone to accept it from him and till the land of Arabia reverts to meadows and rivers."
I spent the whole video wondering where they got this water to grow crops from, and it just turns out "oh we took it from an aquifer that will never replenish itself because its a desert where it doesn't rain". Yes that is really sustainable.
Quite ironic. A future built on sand
The hubris of the human species is immeasurable. Don't build large cities or development in deserts. Common sense should tell you that.
They are investing in more renewable methods of obtaining water like desalination, but not NEARLY at the rate they need to because the Saudi royal family would rather spend their money on huge construction projects that definitely aren't compensating for anything /s
I believe we could put water back into aquifers. Imagine a funnel. If the weight of water in the funnel is greater than the pressure in the aquifer.... it might push the water through the spout and back into the ground.. Use the desalinated water.
Or we create large dams with a series of bore holes in the lowest point. What we would need to do is figure out how to prevent these bore holes from silting up and a way to filter the flood water at the same time.
If the holes were deep enough and the pressure created by the weight of water in the dam is greater than in the aquifer, the flood water could be used to refill the aquifers.
I think we are creative enough to figure out how to create a serviceable enclosure around a bore hole under water. Two pipes, One rotates around the other. Open it allows water to filter into the inner created by the other. Closed, it seals the inner and allows the inner to be drained so the filters can be removed and serviced.
They’re feeding their dairy cows with alfalfa grown in Arizona.
Another desert farming operation using irreplaceable ground water.
I'm not a geologist, but don't aquifers eventually dry up if keep pumping out the water. My understanding is that they get replenished with water from above, usually rain, a lot of it.
That's why they're using recycled water and desalination. The plants also help pull moisture from the air.
@@karlrovey Nothing like enough and extremely expensive and polluting. The CO2 released through burning the oil needed to keep it going just contributes to global warming, a downward spiral.
Australia should study this. They have vast areas that could be retrieved from desert, revived, and afforested changing lives of its population.
@@rogerphelps9939 well Saudi Arabia is not even in the top 10 countries who contribute to global warming. The western countries and China alone contribute close to 70% of the global warming.
@@hornerfarah2282 True but it produces a lot of the stuff that causes global warming.
📌"The Last Hour will not come… till the land of Arabia once again becomes meadows and rivers." From the miracles of the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is that the Arabian Peninsula was once a lush green land full of trees and rivers. There was no way Prophet Muhammad who was illiterate could have known, given the limitation of scientific and technological capabilities at the time, such a fact by himself. Studies in geology and archeology have recently confirmed to a degree beyond any doubt that the Arabian Peninsula once had a much cooler climate and that it truly was a lush green area full of trees, lakes and rivers. Such is based on the following:
1) In 2014 researchers in Saudi Arabia discovered fossilized remains of an elephant in the Nafud Desert. With over 60% of the elephant’s fossilized bones intact, including an entire tusk, it remarkably indicates that the Nafud desert once had a climate suitable for elephants to live in. It is also worth mentioning that the discovered elephant was 50% larger in size and about twice the weight of the current day elephant. More so, in 2017 Saudi Arabia’s Centre for International Communication announced the discovery of fossils of other creatures including crocodiles and seahorses, and more remarkably the discovery, in total, of 10,000 ancient lake and river beds across the Arabian Peninsula.Furthermore, in 2017 Dr. Eid Al Yahya, a well-known archeologist, discovered the first ever fossilized mammoth in Saudi Arabia; and throughout the past decade has discovered and documented over a thousand flint spearheads (made of silica) and other advanced large-prey hunting tools in remote desert locations that indicate that civilizations once hunted in these now barren areas.The Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage reported that in the 1990’s "Landsat" provided imagery of eastern and southern parts of Saudi Arabia, including the Empty Quarter. The satellite images revealed old trade routes, river paths and valleys; all of which are now covered by sand dunes.
In conclusion, geological and archeological discoveries confirm the saying of the Prophet Muhammad, that the Arabian Peninsula was once full of meadows and rivers; a fact that Prophet Muhammad could not have known by himself except through revelation from God Almighty.
It might show there were civilizations before us who had greater scientific knowledge and those civilizations were wiped out.... and we had to start over again. When the current human beings have managed to annihilate ourselves, do you think our computers and flimsy papers will survive for a thousand years until the species can build itself again?
@@mandrews1245 what are you talking about? It’s already starting to happen, as a Muslim I don’t deny the existence of creations before human who inhabited the earth, but what does that have to do with Arabia being green land once again? The prophecy doesn’t mention how that will happen, God doesn’t need human or any of his creations to make things happen.
OK and when God told Abraham he would have a son, Abraham should not do anything eather?
@@annalouisebay4397 I don’t understand what that does have to do with what I said?
@@monitoot You said that God do not need anybody to do anything!
What this documentary fails to mention is that the aquifers are emptying out at an astonishing rate, so much so that the agriculture is being reversed. As for the desalination of water, this is an environmental nightmare and the brine (the super salty runoff) is pumped back into the ocean - removing something else used for food - fish.
We're working on that, that should be sorted out in the coming years we have some modernization projects in the works for to address water supply issues
The desalination plants also use massive amounts of power, much of in produced with fossil fuels. The kingdom is investing heavily in solar, but carbon emissions are still growing.
I was wondering about their source of fresh water...
@@mcdermottpa
Unless there are restrictions, go nuclear, solar will never keep up. California is proof of that.
They need that ground water!
"The Last Hour will not come till the land of Arabia reverts to meadows and rivers." Indeed the Prophet (ﷺ) said the truth!

The earth will come to an end and everything in it will die or come to an an ended as predicted by our prophet Muhammad (SAW). Before the last hour, there will be signs as told by our prophet Muhammad (SAW) and this is one of those signs. Allah is the greatest!
@@chuckseminski What do you mean "much later hour"?
@@NBAHighlightsNBAHighlights I think he means that you are saying that according to your religion we will all be dead soon. Which isn't exactly ideal is it?
@@Purple_flower09 We will be all dead and gathered together again on the day of judgement. Only God has knowledge of the hour not any human or anybody else. The prophet Muhammad (SAW) just told us about the signs and we're still witnessing most of the signs. But yes nobody can live forever in this world no matter how advanced in technology we are. Allah clearly says in the Holy Qur'an "Verily, every soul shall taste death". So yes everything will eventually die and then we will be resurrected again.
Mean time in us farmers are being forced to give up their farm or being bought out by tech giant bg, and most of the industry and resources that would make us a self sufficient is being run out.

I congratulate Saudi Arabia's Governments using its Natural Assets for the benefit of all.
1400 years ago prophet mohammed (pbuh) predicted one of the signs of the end of the world would be that Saudi will return to country with Rivers & Meadows.
Citing the predictions of a schizophrenic as evidence is the epitome of absurdity.
It is well documented that Prophet Muhammad did say these deserts will turn green in future.
The plants themselves attract water out of the air by cooling the air and acting as a moisture net. If this continues the river will once again flow in Saudi Arabia.
Moist farming like Luke Skywalker
@@Serkant75 Uh Sure. I did not know they were moisture farmers till I looked it up. I am more familiar with the moisture nets put up by NGOs in Peru and stuff. Also Permaculture and Regenerative farming practices Which use various techniques to "Green the Desert". Some of these desert places were once jungles with rivers flowing...and could be again.

The air dry.
@@kensmechanicalaffair Saudi is a peninsula surrounded by water which evaporates and wind blows it over. If the temperature is brought down enough and moisture nets (in this case plants) are high enough water will condensate in the form of dew. Biomass and the shade of the plants will help lock the water in the soil for future use.
The aquifers are drying up. The video omits that part and many of those farms have closed down. Also desalination is not energy efficient, even for an oil rich country. There just isn't enough water for all this agriculture. That is why Saudi Arabia is buying arable land in other countries to support farming and maintain its food security.
I would create large bassins in the desert, pump water from the ocean and let the water evaporate. Desalination is way too expensive to apply on a really large scale. It's techno babble.
Wheat exports from this country ceased nearly 10 years ago. Either for lack of water, or because of the rise of salt on the surface from the basement.

🇸🇦❤️ 🇵🇭 brother
To give you some perspective of how dry Saudi Arabia is; I lived there for 4 years in Jeddah... I was there when it rained for the first time in 15 years... It rained for an hour or so... Everything turned into rivers... the streets flooded and everything shut down! There is no irrigation in Saudi Arabia usually
It rains atleast a few times every year in Jeddah
15 years?! & you are claiming that while saying you lived there for 4 years
Ok
@@creativeideas012 These days, it rains more often in Jeddah. But that's a new thing. I lived there 20 years ago. I lived in Jeddah from 1997 to 2002. Back then rain was less common. And yes, I was exaturating when I said "it never rains". What I meant was that it rarely rains for real. You get a lot of heat lightning and clouds in Jeddah but multiple hours of rain are really rare; or at least they were back then.
@@JackPitmanNica Yes, because they now cloud seed and steal moisture from other area's to make it rain.
@@Slebo_19SeventySomething This is devastating for the natural ecology. When nature decides there shud be a desert somewhere u shud not artificially try and force it to turn green, damage will be done elsewhere
@@Slebo_19SeventySomethingso offensive for them to steal a cloud. Les go grow up
That's great we can learn from failure of oil & wealth & to invest in the proper investments like nature survival food, un like Mexico Venezuela, Cuba Soviet union & many more, wise decision a very great one
💯 💯 💯
The problem with aquifers is that it isn't limitless, and they take a very long time to refill, so basically when they drain them, its gone, and it basically saps many springs as well, and it causes earthquakes when done a massive scale.
As the great prophecy stands truer than ever:
“The barren deserts of Arabia will revert to lush, greenlands again” Alhamdulilah! 👍🏻
yup! this is written in major religious books as well! all of them.
But only while there's any ground water and oil . After that, back to desert.
What an amazing world this would be if all governments were for the people.
Israel did this since 1948, a Canadian friend of mine worked on the kibbutz's in the 70s, it's interesting look it up.
All you need is a couple trillion dollars and a social contact that treats the locals like the rest of the people in the 17th century
Are you serious, it's a kingdom. Where they kill anybody who complains about it
Are you saying Saudi Arabia has a government for the people arab spring ring a bell
@Kristopher Hylleberg what is with instigated by USA Arab spring?
Amazing how a venture is not taken when taxes are present, but remove the taxes and shazzaam, the venture can be done. This should be a quite a learning lesson to everyone.
ONLY if your population has other means to support its self. I get it that you do not like taxes, nobody does, BUT, you like to drive on paved roads. You like to cross rivers on bridges. You like to have clean water to drink. Something has to pay for all of those things. Saudi Arabia has oil to pay for all of that. We have taxes to pay for all of that. If you have a way to keep the lights on without taxes, please let us know what it is.
@@Rat-Builder One flat tax.
I work in Saudi Arabia for seven years and the price of foods in supermarkets are very cheap and the price was controlled by the government the price will.not increased for many years that's why you can buy and eat whatever you want from fruits,vegetables,meat ,fish and others
Hahahaha. Yeah. As long as you’re pumping a billion dollars of oil a day out of the ground you can do lots of stuff without taxes.
Foreign workers have been raped, exploited, under- or unpaid, physically abused, overworked and locked in their places of employment. The international organisation Human Rights Watch (HRW) describes these conditions as "near-slavery" and attributes them to "deeply rooted gender, religious, and racial discrimination".
In 2021, the total number of non-national employed workers in the private sector of Saudi Arabia totaled to around 6.17 million workers. Foreign nationals made up around 76.4 percent of the private sector workforce in Saudi Arabia.
Look at how truthful the Hadith of our beloved prophet Muhammad (SAW) is! Allahu Akbar(Allah is the greatest)!
Rather thank western technology.
Thank you so much for that video .
It is heartwarming to see that the house of Saud are investing in their own people
They always have.
But biased media would tell you otherwise
@@Nawa11YT Of course it's the free media that's biased, and definitely not the media of a country that cuts up journalists who don't play ball.
Saudi Arabia is a monarch, not a democracy. The monarchy can decide to do what ever it chooses without input from the people. It does help its population a lot as they are wiser than other dictators in the area, see Iraq and Syria. But freedoms taken for granted in other democracies around the world don't exist in Saudi Arabia. Such as freedom of the press, women's rights, freedom of religion. You can argue if you think this is working for the best for the population, but the reality is they have little input. It isn't bias media, it's reality.
I lived and taught in Saudi2016,17,19,20,21,22. It has transformed itself and will be and is an upcoming country force to be admired. They're seeding the clouds and have rainfall frequently now as well as the reality that they've planted thousands of trees in and around Riyadh during these years ( i watched daily with my own eyes!!)
Saudi is one of the loveliest, kindest, most crime free places in the world. They are smart as is their Governing Royalty.
You are kidding right?
O it’s lovely. If you’re a straight man. Anyone else is goosed
Obvious fawning sycophantic post is obvious.
You really mean this of the same country that brutally forces women to be subservient to men, has no free press, believes that all non-Wahabbists are infidela AND has a murderous, entitled authoritarian millennial running the country is the same muscle of progressiveness you've described? With all die respect, you need to travel more to other countries.
As a kid I used to think that we could build pipe line from the wets countries to the driest . And turn them into huge farm lands . Bit of a dream
Yeah…and the same with the oil!
Quite possible. A huge project but doable. They build oil pipelines across continents they could do it with water as well. We need to build runoff lakes world wide and then pump it to where it’s needed.
@@stanbarnes7284 yes…let’s forget about world division, and concentrate on giving away potential assets to those who are capitalising on theirs!! Let’s get the politics fixed first eh!
While many countries try to forget about self-sufficiency and agriculture sector and try to move forward with only industrial sector, this country with remarkable leaders has identified the importantance of agriculture sector and first they focused on oil and finance sector and they made billions of money then they realize money cannot feed the nation so they have to grow something to feed their nation. Mark this day and realize it, Saudi Arabia is gonna be on top of the world within new 3 decades. They are advanced in technology. Now they have opened their borders for tourists. They are futuristic and most importantly anti-corrupted which is remarkably contributing to their success. Great leaders and great nation.
It always amazes me that extracting water from aquifers in areas with little or no rain is thought to be remotely sustainable long term.
Well, they did it with the oil and it just recently passed the "peak oil" stage so they must think "peak water" is a long way off.
Help me out here for a sec. If oil is found in abundance wouldn't that mean that, at one time, there was a huge amount of animals and flora there before the drought and heat sat in?
At one time this area was full of greenery and rivers and it will return like this again. There is evidence of elephant, cows, and many other species’ fossils found in the Arabian peninsula that belongs to thousands of years ago.
Only hundreds of millions of years ago. Absolutely nothing to do with the current environment.
Yes that’s why Prophet Muhammad’s prophetic words specifically mention this land will ‘return’ to being lush & green as it once was.
The water for crops comes from aquifers, a finite resource.
Finite yes, but fossil water, not from aquifers.
Unfortunatelly all of this is archieved through heavy overuse of undeground water which Saudi Arabia does not have in abbundance. In 10 years if they find no way to replenish what they take they will be left with no water at all. Already the traditional agriculture in SA is suffering terribly because of falling water levels.
Miles and miles of rusting abandoned center pivot irrigation sprinklers beside the Inter State I8 Highway east of Yuma, Arizona, USA. The irrigated land has returned to desert. Is this what hat happens when underground water extraction is regulated with laws that were designed for oil extraction?
That's the new big project, addressing water supply issues optimizing existing lines and maybe even looking into new ways to address the problem
They did something similar in Arizona an now they’re out of water already all the farms they’ve built will be reclaimed by the desert and they don’t have enough water to support all the children of the old arthritic folks that moved there in the 50’s and 60’s no one should have invaded the desert but people are extremely ignorant
It seems that they found a way to exchange water against petrol...the worse French president in history made a deal with them...they said it was a scam but by an incredible coincidence French underground water reserves were lower than ever dangerously low...and they started to talk about restrictions...now it rain all over France since a week it will save this year...but what about next
I’m glad you called this video out for this issue. What a fluff piece! Everybody should read the book Cadillac Desert. The salaries are simply following the same nearsighted path as the Americans did over the last 150 years. Aquifers are finite.
Saudi food is grown overseas and and directly shipped to Saudi Arabia which is not counted as a food import. They own huge ranches in Australia.
That is not surprising.
They own land in US and its doing damage to the eco system due to water extraction, it was banned there because of it
I live in Arizona USA and they also have 1000s of acres of farmland here. It is also a desert and using our aquifers to grow their alfalfa. Our politicians are worthless, selling our water to big business and creating a future crisis for residents. I feel you, So much more should be said about their enterprises in other places
Wow! Saudi supporting farmers rather than trying to close farms down, brilliant!
Also recently I believe Saudi Arabia was one of the 53 Nations that dropped The US Petrol Dollar for the Chinese Yuan in oil trade.

"There are huge non climate effects of carbon dioxide which are overwhelmingly favorable which are not taken into account. To me that's the main issue that the earth is actually growing greener. This has been actually measured from satellites the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So it's increasing agricultural yields, it's increasing the forests, it's increasing all kinds of growth in the biological world and that's more important and more certain than the effects on climate." ~Freeman Dyson, Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
This is a beautiful success story. So positive.
1400 years ago. Prophet Mohammad pbuh knew that Arabi will become once again green at the end time and it's become true 👍.
Loved exploring the Tabuk region and the wadis around Riyadh. Sadly this place is getting hotter and approaching the human limit in Riyadh. Most of the farming has shut down since it relies on desalinisation plants.. the water is still very salty and contaminates the land
Have you any studies and sources for that?
I don't know man, I've been to Riyadh lately, the food and weather is still the same. Or maybe I couldn't tell because I'm always either inside the car or go out at night. They could probably create underground cities like Coober Peity in Australia with underground roads just hire europeans to dig and drill underground with an cross spanning the whole middle east where the middle of the cross is an underground city
I think they are making the world largest central park in the middle of Riyadh which will that issue for sure. They have shutdown an air-force base that was in the middle of Riyadh and working on converting it to a central park.
@@anazi yes I love that!! It was being built when I left in December 2021
Riyadh is expanding real big and it won't reach maximum capacity because it's a flat desert situated on the middle of najd plateau, land is everywhere and can be urbanized easily, farming is expanding too, companies like Red Sea Farms are using sea water to irrigate farms and cut down overall cost of agriculture, there's also plans going on the Arabian Gulf. What are you talking about?
Who would have thought; investing in your own country first, instead of every other, would pay off. Maybe the western countries should pay attention to that strategy instead of ignoring and screwing over their indigenous populations.
That is amazing !! USA better get it together on the desalination process. Might be too late. Great video. Thank you !!

The aquifers will never replinish at the rate they are extracting from them. Making it basically a nonrenewable resource in the terms of human scale. Reliance on them is an Achilles heel in human plans anywhere.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 They're not meant to, once the plants are in place they'll lower the ground temperature and allow humidity from the surrounding oceans to begin condensing again rather than just passing over the hot desert sand.
@@gabrielclark1425 LMFAO.
Excellent video and audio!
What a concept? A government that understands that the farmers actually feed the people who make the world go around...
The man with food is King until the skies are dimmed,, and the switches are turned off,. no electricity for 2,000 years...
“The Final Hour will not come before wealth becomes abundant and overflowing so much so that a person takes Zakat out of his property and will not be able to find anyone to accept it from him and till the land of Arabia reverts into meadows and rivers.” (Sahih Muslim-157c)
Scientists create agricultural land in Saudi Arabia.
Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “The Hour will not come before wealth becomes abundant and overflowing so much that a man will take the Zakaah due on his property but will not find anyone to accept it from him and till the land of Arabia becomes meadows and rivers.
Or they could just invest and diversify farmlands from various sources: east Africa, Europe, South Asia, etc. I don't know if this would go anywhere.
Excellent and informative post Thanks 🙏🏿 for sharing 💚🇸🇦💚
It's amazing how much good can be done when humans commit themselves on this path.
Saudi Arabia's Governments puts many others like Corrupt UK to shame as we the public have never felt the benefit of our Oil fields as croaked MP's run such Extortion Rackets that by allowing utilities to make massive profits and thus damaging both the UK economy and Public health. I congratulate Saudi Arabia's Governments using its Natural Assets for the benefit of all.
I think all other nations should do like Saudi Arabia.
This is so good! I wish every nation on the earth strives to increase its green cover and arable land. Kudos to the Saudi government.
This is upsetting that he doesn't recognise bahrain as a neighbour of ksa 😭
Prophet Muhammed (ﷺ) said in a hadith, "The Last Hour will not come before wealth becomes abundant and overflowing, so much so that a man takes Zakat out of his property and cannot find anyone to accept it from him and till the land of Arabia reverts to meadows and rivers."
@@jakewebdev6428yeah keep believing it 🤣
Wheat exports from this country ceased nearly 10 years ago. Either for lack of water, or because of the rise of salt on the surface from the basement.
@@HenriBourjade yes their wheat product is really bad quality
For us muslim that is not surprising 1400 yrs ago Prophet Muhammad (pbuh ) told us in his hadith all what is happening now and til the end of the world in details
what a wise country that has spent there wealth for the good of there people and helps feed the world well done
You are having a laugh aren’t you? 🙄
Venezuela and Columbia are also rich in oil but good governess makes a difference. Saudia is an expample for us.
I live in a small town in California on central coast it's population is about 48,000 there are many farms surrounding the town and amazing enough this small area produces over 90% of all of the worlds brussel sprouts no matter where in the world you live if you're eating brussel sprouts you have a 9 in 10 chance it came from this small costal town in central coast of California the other amazing thing is this isn't the main crop grown here pinqunto beans and some other bean varieties along with strawberry and other crops are grown much larger scales in area including flower seeds when you manage farm land correctly for the environment weather water resources etc the yields are vastly increased we do have some cattle and thirty minutes away is a extremely large egg farm that exports eggs around the world I have been in London market and in Israel seeing brussel sprouts that have a band showing they were grown in the town I live it also has one of two or three extremely large scale mines that produce diatomaceous earth. Land management is important you should not raise cattle if your area can't support growing feed having to import things from outside areas will decrease profit and eventually make it into a failure this is from growing up on a ranch and farm and amongst ranchers and farmers the majority of my life.
good gracious fancy admitting that
All you have to do is one thing and do it well.

'' Brussels sprouts are grown year-round in California, and 90 percent of all Brussels sprouts found on American tables come from California (and from Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Mateo'' Not the world.
@@sindento1942 I'm sorry your right we are no longer the largest growers in the USA but for many decades we were it was over at least a decade since I checked apparently still in top for organics but not brussel sprouts completely like used to be
I am from California too and have been through your town. It is astonishing how much agriculture and ranching there is in California. It is a powerhouse of food production.
That's how to make a country, well done!
This is a blatant piece of propaganda. It’s hysterical actually. The regime does a good job of brainwashing people
Desalination would solve most of America's water shortages too, if it were allowed to take place. But the water barons will never allow it until every last drop of natural water is gone.
Silly
I am not sure it is as much as "they will not allow it" type problem. It is more like it is not as easy to make money off the suckers by just supplying them cheap free water with little effort until every thing runs dry. I am actually astounded that of all things that can be sold water ( the very most basic need of all humanity) is sold to be begin with or owned by anyone including governments.
Only thing that stops the American People is fear
It's not cheap
Gone? Dude it comes from the sky
The sand will produce well only for a short time.
A example is our desert land here in the US.
Tru the 1930 through the 1950s with deep wells in Arizona
Produced very well . The nourishment for plants run out in time.
With fertilizers production can continue for some time.
There is a big but, greenies a trying to stop the production of fertilizers.
All the water in the world will not do any good on farmed out land.
A example would be from the 1800s till mid 1950s the growth of cotton moved from the Deep South to the western states.
that's so great! and the first time I've heard of this
Congratulations Saudi Arabian I'm from Myanmar Arakan Rohingya Salvation army ARSA Senior Captain.
Amazing how well the country is doing when the government is working for its people and not just for themselves and other countries
judgement day will not occur Until lands of arbia become green again
that's what prophet muhammad saw said
The Quran predicted the” Saudi dessert would once again become green “😊1450 years ago !!!
No. Its a prophecy of end times made by our Prophet Muhammad PBUH. He said the deserts of Arabia will turn green “once again”. Which means the desert used to be green before.
Prophet Muhammed foretold this....he said it will be green once again.
Quite informative. I learnt a lot about Saudi Arabia that I didn't know.
Me too ❤🧜🏼♀️🍑
Saudi Arabia sounds like they have a great government. The US should take some tips from them
Sounds like Saudi Arabia has got it together. I would like to visit the country one day

Yeah. Everything’s great as long as you aren’t a journalist that is openly critical of the Prince. Then you get abducted, chopped up into pieces, and dissolved in acid.
The crown prince seems to work hard to modernize the country. From agricultural to tourism. The conservatives are not happy. But his govt is able to silence them.
@@majeromajero7330 yes. He just imprisons them or kills them. Nice guy.
@@jagpilotohio yeah he has his dark side to control his opponent. Absolute monarchy.
Saudi Arabia has transformed a dry nation into a big exporter is a miracle ❤
The Sahara (/səˈhɑːrə/, /səˈhærə/) is a desert on the African continent. With an area of 9,200,000 square kilometres (3,600,000 sq mi), it is the largest hot desert in the world and the third-largest desert overall, smaller only than the deserts of Antarctica and the northern Arctic.[1][2][3]
Let's say it's somewhat smaller than China.
@@wolfgangdevries127 its bigger , even USA,china and India combined are smaller then Africa
@@salecousin5470 it's about Sahara, though :)
This is amongst the prophecies of the prophet Mohammed (saws). More surprisingly, note the words 'once again'.
“The Hour will not begin until the land of the Arabs once again becomes meadows and rivers”
Ref: Sahih Muslim 157
In other words, this is where all the fertilizer in the world has gone and why the Netherlands have forced their farmers out of business.
Wow !!!!! Those People are Thinking,, I'm going to move there,, I'm a thinker
How long will the aquifers last till salt water is drawn into them?
Prophet Mohammed ( peace be upon him ) over 1400 years ago said this will happen in Saudi Arabia.
No he did not he said it will be a forest not that the prince will start making farms ffs
@@modar9524he said it will become green like it was before.
Need more on the depletion of the aquifers.
Here in Australia we have the same problem...they take thousands of years to replenish.
Farms in central plateau use fossil water, not aquifers (no recharge).
Do we know if the floods in the Australian Murray-Darling Basin are recharging their aquifers?
@@ibrahimel-awady5965 Thank you for telling the truth.
@@kevinkelly7078 One year's worth of floods isn't going to do very much. You need rainfall and extraction to be in balance and that is far from the case in most places where irrigation is necessary for agriculture.
😂😂😂😂

Foreign workers have been raped, exploited, under- or unpaid, physically abused, overworked and locked in their places of employment. The international organisation Human Rights Watch (HRW) describes these conditions as "near-slavery" and attributes them to "deeply rooted gender, religious, and racial discrimination".
In 2021, the total number of non-national employed workers in the private sector of Saudi Arabia totaled to around 6.17 million workers. Foreign nationals made up around 76.4 percent of the private sector workforce in Saudi Arabia.
Wow this is breath taking I love it
If they're doing so great locally, Arizona wants its water used for growing alfalfa and exporting it to Saudi back.
its encouraging development and hopefully will be inspiring to other countries as well
Isreal has been doing this since 1947

How sustainable is agriculture when the water is provided by depleting the aquifer and using desalinated water (which requires a lot of energy)?
Isn't there natural underground water? Like a spring never dries up...?
@@tulayamalavenapi4028 yes that's the aquifer. That's mostly fossil water, so water that has been there for a long time. And it will dry up. That's a spring that will dry up.

Prophet Muhammad Pbuh said the world will not end until the Arab peninsula turns green
Why? Why would it end if it’s growing? An arid place with no water but yet life is strong and thriving……why would it end? explain the meaning of how one place turning green with life would end the world??
It’s not saying turning Green causes the destruction more that its Sign to let you know that perilous times are upon us
Give the reference otherwise don't give wrong information on Islam
@@nawabjan6240 why don’t you go and beat up your self in Tehran
@@shropshirehistory908 world wouldn't end coz the desert is turning green.
The desert turning green again is a sign that the end is near. It's one of the prophecies of the Prophet Muhammad (SM) about the end times.
They don’t mention that the water that used to go to the neighbors was stopped. Saudi got water, but the neighboring countries went dry.
Wow. I did not know this
the scary part is, if I recall correctly, in Islam, one of the signs of coming judgement day, is that all of Arabia will turn green...
Incredible, why haven’t we seen this before!
This goes against the popular narrative in the United States and our government.
Because the media doesn’t want you to see the truth about Saudi Arabia
Media, they don't want you to see our success
Outstanding! Way to be beneficial!
I'm glad to see that countries and proving things to the world so they don't depend so much on just the United States
