Adenعدن

A harbour in an old volcano at the mouth of the Red Sea, named in a sign of the Hour.

For thousands of years ships between India, Africa and Egypt called here. Yemen entered Islam in the Prophet's ﷺ lifetime, and Britain held Aden from 1839 to 1967. Among the major signs of the Hour, the Prophet ﷺ named a fire that will come out of Yemen, from the depths of Aden, driving people to their gathering.
