struck Pompeii so suddenly that everything seems to have been
frozen in time.
There are important lessons to be learned from Pompeii's
fate. Historical sources reveal that before its destruction, Pompeii
was a hotbed of vice and debauchery and was known for its

widespread prostitution. Yet Mount Vesuvius wiped the city
from the map in a single moment. Interestingly, despite its terri-
ble eruption, nobody fled. It seems that the people were rooted to
the spot, as if unaware of the tragedy. A number of couples have
been found, among which are same-sex couples and young boys
and girls. Some of the petrified human remains contain perfectly
preserved facial features. Their general expression is one of sur-

prise, for Pompeii was destroyed suddenly. Allah gives an exam-
ple of the people of a city:
It was but one Great Blast, and [then] they were extinct.
(Surah Ya Sin, 29)
