Here is one of the prophecies about prophet Mohammad (PBUH), from your own bible: “The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companions of Dedanim. The inhabitants of the Land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him they fled. For they fled from the swords, from the drawn swords and from the bent bow, from the grievousness of war. For thus hath the Lord said unto me, within a year, according to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail; And the residue of number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall diminished: for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it.” (Isaiah 21:13-17) *The first point* to bear in mind in connection with this prophecy is that Arabia is the scene of the Prophecy. This is most significant. Muhammad(PBUH) appeared in Arabia. *Secondly* the prophecy speaks of “Him that fled”. The flight of Muhammad(PBUH) is momentous event in the history of the world. It is upon the flight of Muhammad(PBUH) from Mecca that the Muslim calendar begins. *Thirdly* “fled from drawn swords” conclusively proves the fulfillment of the prophecy in Muhammad(PBUH) who fled from Mecca when his house was surrounded by his deadly enemies who stood there, drawn swords in had, thirsty for his blood. *Fourthly* another clear testimony in favor of Muhammad(PBUH) is found in: “within a year… all the glory of Kedar will fail… the mighty men of Kedar shall diminish.” This was fulfilled in the battle of Badr which occurred within a year from the flight of Muhammad, and in which battle, the Quraish of Mecca (Kedar) sustained a crushing defeat; most of their mighty men fell. Rev. C. Forster locates the Kedar in Hedjaz and identifies them with Koraish. See: The Historical Geography of Arabia by Rev. C. Forster, pp. 244-265.

[@cuquitacollage]

totally captivating🌷🖤😍 what a beauty!!

[@Aiur]

What a voice 😯🥺👏👏👏

[@dancarter8389]

Just gorgeous. Thank you.

[@maddielaura5950]

Beyond blessed that I got to be alive at the same time as her on this earth !

[@charlescharliejpeg]

You're my favorite artist, been following you since Taiga. Your art is very moving and inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing your art, it goes straight to the heart.

[@FlamingSwordOfWisdom108]

This heals ❤❤❤

[@BLDiniz]

Man, I can't describe how incredible this is. I just love it...I just love everything Nicka does.

[@Ring0fSaturn]

Wow. The space and the performance complement each other perfectly. ZJ's vocals have evolved or matured into a phenomenon beyond prior recordings or performances. While I love the sonic production of her albums, this environmental augmentation here is exceptional as the visual beauty and the acoustics of the room capture and reflect her voice and the piano. Awe inspiring.

[@ColeDaNerd]

Such a beautiful video

[@Faydit212]

Outstanding voice and video! I still watch and listen to "Vessel", which is one of my favorite all time masterpieces. But also eg. to "Taiga". A really rare, very unique voice with the same quality as eg. Lisa Gerrard. Not comparable with anybode else. Independet of all before, it is a beneficial pleasure to also see sometimes something like this also on youtube.

[@simonworboys9652]

This is so beautiful. I’m grieving at the moment and your music has accompanied me today on a very long journey. I’ve cried but felt comforted. Music is such a powerful therapy. Thank you so much for just being. 🖤 x

[@godisunderground]

For certain reasons my son is called Zola and you are one of them

[@AlfredoRichner]

So beautiful.

[@chrish3145]

My god, this is so gorgeous!

[@rj7777]

life outside caves is complicated

[@marcgoldstein2957]

Spectacular!

[@losangeleslovesyou]

Stunning 💛

[@MetalMaven]

You were totally correct about the acoustics of this great hall. This is amazing and surreal!

[@sonyaeasterday1040]

Incredible and beautiful as always.

[@diegomartin2284]

Agradezco lo mucho que me haya salido ese vídeo de TikTok presentándome a Okovi 💜

[@Tsotha]

I am both impressed by the performance, evidence that good music works regardless of what instruments it is played on, and ZJ's fashion sense - my first thought is a modern interpretation of how a mediaeval Byzantine princess dressed which I guess fits the location of the concert. Also an interesting choice of Randall Dunn as producer, as I know him largely for producing black/death metal albums...

[@nofate915]

.. wonderful 🙏🏼❤️...

[@scottmartinezguitarandbass]

I just bought the vinyl, and I WILL travel to this beautiful place.

[@danielforero276]

You are the Goddess of the music. 🥺❤️ Greetings from Colombia.

[@keysersozefede]

No one cares

[@abdolrahmanal-harmi5978]

@@keysersozefede God sent you Quran 1400 years ago with information that no one could know except him to prove its from him like: *1. Water* In Surah Al-Anbya, it was revealed: “We made every living thing from water, will they not believe?” (Quran, 21:30) and it was only after the discovery of the microscope that it was concluded that all living things consist mostly of water - while in the deserts of Arabia, the last thing a man could guess is that all of life ultimately came from water. *2. Universe: The Big Bang Theory* In Surah Al-Anbya, Allah (SWT) also states: “Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them” (Quran, 21:30). In 1929, American astronomer Edwin Hubble proposed the Hubble’s Law according to which all entities in space are moving away from the Earth at speeds proportional to their distance i.e. the greater the distance from earth, the faster they are moving. Soon after this, he discovered that galaxies are moving away from each other as well which means that the universe is expanding overall. This laid the basis for the Big Bang theory which states that around 12-15 billion years ago the universe came into existence from one single extremely hot and dense point, due to an explosion of this point the universe came into being. The universe, since then, has been expanding from this single point. In 1965, radio astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson won the Noble Prize for the discovery that confirmed the Big Bang theory [3]. When looking at the verse cited above, while acknowledging Allah Knows best, it remains astounding that the Quran had already revealed that “the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them”. *3. Universe: The Big Crunch Theory* Again, in Surah Al-Anbya, Allah (SWT) says: “The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it” (Quran, 21:104). This fits in with the theory of Big Crunch which talks about how the universe will be pulled back into the black holes and again form a tiny mass [4]. Indeed, the Big Crunch is one of the scenarios predicted by scientists in which the Universe may end. Just like many others, it is based on Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity. That is, if the Big Bang describes how the Universe most possibly began, the Big Crunch describes how it will end as a consequence of that beginning [5], just as the Quran has so beautifully described above. *4. Embryology* In Surah Al-Mu’minun , Allah (SWT) says “We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed substance)…” (Quran 23:12-14). Science has only proved this with the help of the latest technology. It is Professor Emeritus Keith L. Moore who is one of the world’s most well-known scientists in the fields of anatomy and embryology, who said that “It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God, because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later” [6]. *5. The Sky’s Protection* In Surah Al-Anbya, Allah (SWT) says: “And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs, are turning away” (Quran 21:32). It is a scientific fact that the sky, with all of its gasses, protects the earth and life that is present on it from the harmful rays of the sun. If there was no protective layer, life on earth would cease to exist as the temperature on earth would be freezing at -270.556°C, the same as the temperature in space. *6. Iron within Meteorites* In Surah Al-Hadid it is written that: “We sent down Iron with its great inherent strength and its many benefits for humankind” (Quran 57:25). According to M. E. Walrath, iron is not natural to the earth. Scientists state that billions of years ago, the earth was struck by meteorites. It was within these meteorites that iron was present and due to explosion on earth, we now have iron available to us [7]. The Quran, as stated above, has already enlightened us of this fact by stating “We sent down iron with its great inherent strength…”. *7. The Meeting of the Seas* In Surah Ar-Rahman, it states “He released the two seas, meeting [side by side], Between them is a barrier [so] neither of them transgresses” (Quran, 55:19-20). Science has discovered that in places where two different seas meet, there is a barrier that divides them which helps both the seas maintain their own temperature, salinity, as well as density [8]. *8. Sun Moving in Orbit* In Surah Al-Anbya, it states “And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming” (Quran, 21:33). Although it was only a widespread belief in the 20th century amongst the astronomers, today it is a well-established fact that the Sun, the Moon, and all the other bodies in the Universe are moving in an orbit and constantly moving, not stationary [9] as commonly thought before.
