		The commentators consider the word Iram the name of a city which is described as having pillars, that is, columns.
		It is said to have been a large city, with castles of gold and silver and columns of emerald and hyacinth, containing all kinds of trees and freely flowing rivers.
		Iram will be entered in your time by a Muslim who is of a reddish, ruddy color, and short, with a mole at his eyebrow and one on his neck, who goes out in search of some of his camels." He then turned around and, seeing Ibn Qilabah, he said: "Indeed, he is that man."

		But as we have noted before, Ubar, which has been identified with the city of Iram, and any other place which is likely to have been the residence of 'Ad, is totally covered with desert today.

	The Religion of Islam - The Ones Who Perished (part 1 of 2): The Fate of the People of Noah, Sheba, Iram and Salih
		Another people whose sins were answered with a devastating flood were the People of Saba’ (Sheba). They turned away from the Creator, God, to worship others. Now, all that remains of their once prosperous civilization (at Marib, Yemen) are the broken sluices of their dam, some Sabaean inscriptions, and the ruins of their temple.
		In 1992, using satellite images, the relics of a city correlating with the Quranic location and description of Iram were discovered deep beneath the desert on the edge of Oman. The city’s wealth was evidenced by frankincense burners, Parthian pottery (above) and the 90cm-thick walls guarding them.
		Excavations also showed that the city met with a catastrophic end when it half-collapsed into a giant sinkhole, above which the ruins of a fortress and eight once-towering pillars still stand (above). The ‘Ad were destroyed by a force of nature even fiercer than themselves.
