Dead Sea is 400 meters below sea level and is believed to have healing powers.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Dead Sea<\/strong> is three million years old and 400 meters below sea level and is known to be the lowest surface on the planet. There are beliefs regarding the Dead Sea having healing properties. For this reason, its salt and minerals are used in cosmetics and a large number of people visit this place to seek therapy and relaxation.<\/p>\n

The relationship being the Dead Sea and the ancient city of Sodom revolves around the fact that the people in that region, according to the Quran were evil and immoral. Hence, the Quran mentions God\u2019s decision to punish the people of Sodom and to destroy everything. The Dead Sea therefore is the symbol of destruction. There have been some stories regarding the Prophet Muhammad trying to discourage people from visiting the Dead Sea because, according to him, whoever did so would suffer the same punishment as the people of living in that region had. However, whoever does end up visiting the Dead Sea is recommended to recall the story of the Prophet Lut who resided in the city of Sodom and who was known to be one of the righteous, according to the Quran.<\/p>\n
