00:00December 5th, 1945.
00:06Five military aircraft take off from Florida.
00:11Fourteen men, clear skies, a routine training flight.
00:17Two hours later, the lead pilot sends a message.
00:22He says, everything looks wrong.
00:26Even the ocean does not look right.
00:28Then, silence.
00:33All five planes vanish.
00:37No wreckage, no bodies, no trace.
00:41A rescue plane is sent immediately.
00:44It also disappears.
00:47Gone forever.
00:50This is the Bermuda Triangle.
00:53A place where ships sink without warning.
00:57Where planes fall from clear skies.
01:01Where people simply vanish.
01:04But what is really happening here?
01:09Is it a natural mystery?
01:11A human error?
01:14Or something beyond our understanding?
01:18Today, we will explore all of it.
01:22Including what Islam says about the unseen forces of this world.
01:35The Bermuda Triangle sits in the Atlantic Ocean.
01:40It forms a triangle between three points.
01:45Miami in Florida.
01:48Puerto Rico.
01:49And the island of Bermuda.
01:53This area covers about 500,000 square miles of ocean.
01:58It is one of the most traveled shipping lanes in the world.
02:04Hundreds of ships and planes pass through every week.
02:09But for over a hundred years, something strange keeps happening here.
02:15Vessels disappear without explanation.
02:19Compasses spin out of control.
02:22Communication systems go dead.
02:26Sailors have feared this place for centuries.
02:29They called it the Devil's Triangle.
02:32Some called it the Sea of Doom.
02:35And the disappearances just keep happening.
02:39Over a thousand lives lost.
02:41Over 300 ships and planes gone.
02:45All in the same stretch of ocean.
02:51Let us go back to the beginning.
02:54The year is 1918.
02:57A massive U.S. Navy ship called the USS Cyclops sets sail.
03:03It carries 309 crew members and a full cargo.
03:07The weather is good.
03:08The ship is in perfect condition.
03:12It sails into the Bermuda Triangle.
03:15And is never seen again.
03:19No distress signal was ever sent.
03:22No wreckage was ever found.
03:26309 people.
03:28Gone without a single clue.
03:32It remains the largest loss of life in U.S. Navy history outside of combat.
03:38Then came Flight 19 in 1945.
03:42The five planes we mentioned at the beginning.
03:45The pilot's last words were chilling.
03:49Message to anyone.
03:50This is Fox Raider.
03:53The ocean is glowing.
03:55I don't know where I am.
03:58Then the radio went dead.
04:02The rescue planes sent to find them also vanished.
04:09In 1963, a cargo ship called the Marine Sulphur Queen disappeared.
04:1639 crew members.
04:18Not a single body recovered.
04:22In 2015, a cargo ship called El Faro sank in a hurricane.
04:2733 sailors lost.
04:30The black box were covered, but the mystery remains.
04:34These are just a few stories.
04:37There are hundreds more.
04:40Each one more difficult to explain than the last.
04:49Over the years, people have offered many explanations.
04:54Let us look at the most important ones.
05:01Deep beneath the ocean floor lie enormous pockets of gas.
05:06This gas is called methane hydrate.
05:10Sometimes, this gas escapes suddenly.
05:13When it does, it rises to the surface in massive bubbles.
05:18It reduces the density of the water instantly.
05:23Any ship above it loses buoyancy and sinks within seconds.
05:28Scientists have confirmed this process is real.
05:32It could explain why some ships vanish without sending any distress signal.
05:41The Bermuda Triangle sits where three major ocean currents meet.
05:47This can create rogue waves, walls of water up to 30 meters high.
05:53They appear without warning.
05:55They can destroy even the largest ships in seconds.
06:00Satellite data has confirmed these waves exist.
06:03They are invisible on radar until it is too late.
06:12The Bermuda Triangle is one of two places on Earth where a compass points to true north, not magnetic north.
06:19This confuses navigation systems.
06:23Sailors and pilots can lose their bearings completely.
06:27Even modern GPS systems can behave strangely here.
06:35Some researchers say the answer is simple.
06:39Human error.
06:40Bad weather.
06:41Poor navigation.
06:43They argue the number of disappearances is not unusual.
06:48This is one of the busiest ocean zones on Earth.
06:51More traffic means more accidents.
06:58But not everyone accepts the scientific answers.
07:04Some people believe something else is happening.
07:07Something beyond what science can measure.
07:11They point to pilot reports of sudden time distortions.
07:16Compasses spinning wildly even in calm weather.
07:20Clouds forming in perfect geometric shapes.
07:25Electronic equipment failing for no reason.
07:29These are not the kind of things methane gas can explain.
07:36Now we come to the part that most documentaries never discuss.
07:43Islam teaches us that the world we see is not the only world that exists.
07:49Allah created multiple realms.
07:54The world of humans.
07:57The world of angels.
07:59And the world of the jinn.
08:03In Surah al-Jinn, Allah tells us directly,
08:08Verily, it has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said,
08:15Verily, we have heard a wonderful recitation.
08:21The jinn are real.
08:23They are confirmed in the Quran.
08:26They live in a world parallel to ours.
08:30And sometimes, their world touches ours.
08:36The ocean holds deep significance in Islam.
08:40Allah says in Surah al-Nur,
08:45Or like the depths of darkness in a vast, deep ocean,
08:50Overwhelmed with waves upon waves,
08:53With clouds above.
08:56The ocean is described as a place of darkness,
09:01Layered upon darkness.
09:04A place where the unknown lives.
09:07A place where human power reaches its limit.
09:13Many Islamic scholars teach that the sea is one of the domains of the unseen.
09:20A place where the jinn are known to dwell.
09:24Where mysteries beyond human understanding can occur.
09:29Some Islamic scholars have discussed the Bermuda Triangle directly.
09:34They suggest it could be a zone of intense jinn activity.
09:39An area where the barrier between our world and theirs is thin.
09:45This would explain the strange time distortions pilots report.
09:50The equipment failures that have no technical cause.
09:54The calm seas that swallow ships without a trace.
09:59We are not saying this is proven.
10:02We are saying this is a possibility that a believer must consider.
10:07Because Allah has told us plainly and of his signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth.
10:17And the diversity of your languages and your colors.
10:21Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge.
10:26The signs of Allah are everywhere.
10:30In the sky, in the earth, and deep within the ocean.
10:37Whether the Bermuda Triangle is explained by science or the unseen, the lesson is the same.
10:47Human beings are not in control.
10:50We build the most powerful ships.
10:54We fly the most advanced planes.
10:58And still, we vanish without explanation.
11:04This is a reminder of something every Muslim knows in their heart.
11:11There is no power and no strength except with the law.
11:18The ocean does not fear our technology.
11:22The sky does not respect our plans.
11:26Only Allah controls what happens to us.
11:29Only Allah knows what lies in the depths of that triangle.
