An ancient Christian monastery dating back to many years before Islam spread across the Arabian Peninsula has been discovered on an island off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. An ancient Christian monastery has been found on an island off the UAE coast, which probably dates back to years before the spread of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula. The officials made this announcement on Thursday.
This monastery on Siniyah Island sheds new light on the history of early Christianity in the coastal areas of the Persian Gulf.
This is the second such monastery found in the UAE
This is the second such monastery found in the UAE, which is believed to be about 1400 years old, which predates the oil industry in the Arabian Desert, which led to the construction of high-rise buildings in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, including a unified nation. Expansive.
These two monasteries are lost in history as experts believe that the Christians gradually converted to Islam, which developed extensively in the region.
The Christian community as a minority in a wider area
Today Christians form a minority in the wider region of the Middle East. However, Pope Francis is arriving only on Thursday to promote interfaith dialogue with Muslim leaders in nearby Bahrain.
Timothy Power, an associate professor in the Department of Archeology at UAE University, helped investigate the newly discovered monastery. In Timothy's view, the UEA today has emerged as a 'meeting point of nations'.
This monastery is on the island of Siniyah
He said that the fact that something like this was happening here 1000 years ago is remarkable and this is a story that needs to be told to the people.
The monastery is on the island of Siniyah, which guards the Kher al-Bidr marshland in Umm al-Quwain. The island is located near the coast of the Persian Gulf, about 50 kilometers northeast of Dubai.
There are many more Christian monasteries like this to be discovered.
Carbon dating gives the founding date of this monastery between 534 AD to 656 AD, while the Prophet of Islam was born in about 570 AD and said goodbye to the world in 632 after the conquest of Mecca (today's Saudi Arabia).
Archaeologists have discovered other similar Christian monasteries in Bahrain, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. In the 1990s, archaeologists discovered the first Christian monastery in the UAE on the island of Sir Bani Yas, which is as old as this second Christian monastery.
