Extraordinary developments in the Fırat River in recent months turned the attention of both the people of the region and the world here. While the rapidly drawn waters of the river started the search for gold with the shining stones on the shores; Images spread on social media further fueled discussions.
While the crowds of the soil with rowing during the day are seen, the mysterious sounds and silhouette events that are allegedly heard at night carry the events to a different dimension. All of these experiences, centuries ago, the Prophet said about the Euphrates of the rumors and the same question to mind the same question: I wonder if these landscapes, the beginning of the signs of apocalypse described for centuries?
Golden rush that starts in dry river beds
The rapidly drawn waters of the Euphrates River in July 2025, Syria’s Raqqa Elbu Hamad Village of the city revealed an extraordinary picture. The villagers who shine in the river bed and see the pieces that were likened under them, ran to the region with their rowing, pots or teapots in their hands and attempted to collect these glittering objects.
Images reflected on social media in a short time, “Euphrates found gold found” allegations brought to the agenda. Especially some users, Hz. Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) recalled this situation with one of the signs of apocalypse, reminding the hadith of the Gold of Gold from the Euphrates ”. Thus, the mobility that began in the village turned into a topic discussed in the whole Islamic world.
The landscape became even more striking before the days passed. In the dried bed, which stretches as much as possible, hundreds of people began to map the land with the first lights of the morning. Some kneeling and eliminating handfuls of soil, some sacks filling the rush. As the sun hit, the glows that stealing gold on the soil appeared, which increased the excitement of the crowd.
The mysterious silhouette on the river at night
Another landscape, which is as interesting as the day of the day, emerges at night. When the sun sets, the river is not completely silent; Small lights spreading from mobile phones and flashlights are shaking in the dark. But what is remarkable is unidentified silhouette that circulates quietly around these lights.
Some villagers argue that these people are not just looking for gold, but also make creepy rituals. Motorized boats approaching the shore at midnight are also mentioned, but it is unclear who they are and what their aims are.
The hadith of our Prophet about the Euphrates River
All these developments are associated with the remarkable hadith that the Prophet said about the Euphrates River 1400 years ago:
“The apocalypse does not break unless the water of the Euphrates River is drawn and a gold mountain in the bed where it flows, and the winner of the winner, the ninety -nine of every hundred people who collide with each other.” (Bukhari, Fiten 24; Muslim, Fiten 29).
This is one of the most talked about among the signs of the apocalypse in the Islamic world. The expression “Golden Mountain ında in the hadith points to a huge wealth that will emerge under the river. Imam Nevevi states that with the realization of this event, the ambitions of people will lead to sedition and great wars will arise. So the issue is not only gold; The loss of compassion, the destruction of social peace and the moral collapse are among the dangers pointed out by the hadith.
Gold, oil, energy sources?
Some commentators say that this “Golden Mountain” may be real gold mines, while others think that “black gold”, ie oil and natural gas. The strategic importance of the lands where the Euphrates passes throughout history strengthens these comments.
Euphrates’ waters and statistics
In recent years, the decrease in the water level of the Euphrates has reached a point where it can no longer be ignored. According to the data of the Ministry of Water Resources of Iraq, the river flow rate has decreased by more than 40 %since 2020. Tapka and Tişrin dams in Syria decreased to the lowest level of the last 40 years, while the river bed began to emerge in the regions under Birecik and Carchemish dams in the southeast of Türkiye. Satellite images clearly show the water line withdrawn from the shore in the summer.
In some Islamic sources, before the Euphrates is completely established History and Mecog tribesIt is transferred to the emergence of the river and the water will completely consume.
Mysterious voices coming from under the river
In some videos that have been watched millions of times on social media, it is suggested that the buzzly sounds from the Fırat regions. Some compare these sounds to human scream. This situation was associated with Christian eschatology on Western news sites.
In the Book of Revelation Four Angels standing on the Euphrates Riverskin is mentioned. According to belief, these angels will destroy one third of humanity when the time comes. For this reason, some commentators consider sounds in the videos as echoes of chained assets.
Claims about Gilgamesh’s grave
Another sensational claim about the Euphrates River is King Gilgamesh‘s grave was found here. In 2003, the BBC in the work carried out by German archaeologists in Iraq Uruk Antique CityHe announced that he had revealed and discovered a grave structure in the river’s bed that resembled recipes in the Epic of Gilgamesh.
In fact, on social media, rumors are circulating that there is an extraordinarily preserved Gilgamesh body that is alleged to be about 6 meters tall. These allegations, which are not confirmed in official sources, are still being discussed among history enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists.
Is it a sign or a natural process?
Today, what happened in the Euphrates River (waters drawn, gold searches, mysterious silhouettes in the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the midnight, and archaeological rumors) arous the same question in people: Are these signs of the signs of the expected signs for centuries, or are they just a result of drought and natural processes? Euphrates has a special place both in religious texts and historical legends. For this reason, every development here concerns not only the people of the region but also the whole world.
