ALAM'S VISIONS OF THE MILLENNIUM PROPHESY CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF HOLY JERUSALEM
Please note that, The most the information of Chronological History of Jerusalem was cited from
Raheem Bawa Muhiyaddeen’s (RA) letter to the Head of the states in 1980.
He had many visions of mass-destructions. This is included in the last part of Alam Vision’s of the Millennium Prophecy;
if his followers agreed to compose this information voluntarily.
4128 B.C.
Creation of Adam in Paradise. In the beginning, according to the Sacred Scriptures of the Holy Traditions, Adam and
Eve were brought together by the mercy of Allah in the Arabian Desert following a long period of preparation in paradise.
Immediately thereafter they created the first house of worship and called it Holy Kaaba. And surrounding this Holy Kaaba they
created a city and called it by the name of Holy Mecca. And to better remember the paradise into which they had been born,
they created in the desert a second Holy City with green gardens, flowers, great fields of olive and fig trees and other splendors.
They gave to this flowering place of the soul the name Jerusalem and dedicated it to the family man. By the time of Adams
death, at approximately 1000 years of age, he had more than 4000 descendants. This first human civilization spread through
Asia and the Middle East, ended with the great flood during the time of Noah (SM) (Flood receded in 2472 B.C.). The prophet
Noah (SM) established the second human civilization, and re-established the animal kingdom with the survivors of the flood.
Today Adams seed has populated the Earth with nearly six billion souls. And now, as before, mans holy quest for spiritual
