Gallery: Floating Rock
Thursday January 5, 2006
"I just wonder if you'd be able to find out – is it real?" writes Leo. "Someone sent me the picture as an attachment. He wrote that the stone wanted to follow the prophet Muhammad s.a.w. ascending to the heavens. The picture is unbelievable!" What do you think? Is the legend true? Is the phenomenon real? Or is it a clever Photoshop fake... or an optical illusion? If anyone has any more information about this rock or photo, let us know. You can see a larger photo in the Gallery along with some other remarkable new pictures.

About the floating rock, that is real and what the sender told you is true that the rock wanted to follow the Prophet Muhammad. This phenomenon happened on the night of ascent of Prophet Muhammad. The rock helped him climbed on the horse he rode to visit the Heavens that’s why it floated a little high. Objects/things are not bound by scientific laws. When objects/things are controlled by Allah, it would move or be in any way Allah wants it to be.
Yes,but that is not the rock that want to follow Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w). Ther original rock is actually inside the Dome of rock in Baitulmuqqadis. The structure (The dome of rock)was built around and under.
I hope this is not a photoshop fake because then whoever sent it would have caused a lot of unnecessary ridicule.
Anyway, what I have heard also is that actual floating rock is inside the dome, not outside as shown in this picture.
I wonder where this picture was actually taken. It is also curious that there seems to be some drops of blood on the lower left of this boulder.
I dont know which is the true floating rock, the rock inside the dome or the one in the picture. I would like to see more multiple angle of the floting rock in the picture
Hey guys,
This is never gonna be true. because there is no allah.so it is fake.dont make stories. did allah come and tell it to about all this stories… You guys ll never learn.
yes what genius told is right there is no allah. even i am a muslim AbdulGaffur Alawi please dont spread rumers
For you people who doesn’t believe in Allah. Explain about yourself. Are you human just a random phenomenon, or a results of millions and billions of probability in universe? I don’t think so. So..Who’s never gonna learn? And brothers, leave this useless debate. We’re all still have duty of our own. Assalamualaikum.
ya its real….the reason nobody believs it is because zionist covered it up in al-quds because they do not want anyone to see it as a miracle…..its in a black dome….
this is why earth is tilted at an axis….and it controls part of gravity….if it is blown up or moved earths gravity would shift …bo one knows how much….also earth will then rotate the oppisite of what direction it is rolling now……
i believe that because of the renovation they r doin right now it will move and all the things above will happen…..
So what controls the other part of gravity? Newton’s spirit? Dude, the renovation they are doing is only around this rock. So i don’t think all of what you said will happen. Instead, I think it will only speed up continental drift, cause excess flatulence among tasmanian devils and also lead to the extinction of mushrooms, pencil erasers and certain humans with comparable IQs.
That’s amazing, if thats true. When I was a kid, My mother used to tell me stories about this rock. but i thought that was only a legend… I think we need to be more curious about this kinda stuff. Don’t u think things being hiden from public?
I believe in this floating rock and Allah. Oh and I also have some ocean front property in Arizona that’s for sell. And lets not forget my S.U.V. that gets 186 miles per gallon, also for sale…
i respect other believes, and i believe in Allah.. but i must be skeptical about this floating rock.. i mean, logically, how can they covered something like this for almost 1.5 millenia.. it’s supposed to be located somewhere, where millions come to visit every year
funny what photoshop can do these days
Jerusalem is considered the third holiest city in Islam. Mecca is the first, and then Medina. (Yeah, I’ve been reading about this since it is Ramadhan). Just take a look at this picture below, and now everybody understand why. This rock is believed wanted to follow our Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. to the Jannah during Isra’ and Mi’raj (or rather just Mi’raj).

This is just one of the many reasons why Jerusalem is important, along with Masjidil Al-Aqsa, The Dome of Rock and many more. Unfortunately it is also considered a holy city by the other two religions, Christianity and Judaism.
It said that as long as the Suboh prayer is not as many people as the Friday prayer, then Jerusalem will still be under control by the Jews. Such is the price of Jerusalem.
it is true PEOPLE!!!!! BELIEVE MEEEE ITS IN IRAQ AND IF U GO THERE YOU WILL SEE IT THERE FLOATING!! MOEHAMED (MAY PEACE BE APON HIM) ALWAYS WAS SAT NEXT TO THE ROCK AND THEN 1 day the rock wanted to go with him but he said no stay so from that day the rock stayed there floating (if you don’t Believe in allah then go to google and type -allah miracles- and go on images to find out everything LAILAHAILA-ALLAH (there is No god but allah)
GENIUS U R GOOING TO BE IN TROUBLE WIV ALLAH GOW DARE U SAI ALLLAH DOES NT EXIST!!!! HE DOES FOR YR INFORMATION !!! I DON’T WANT TO SWEAR!!!
allah pwns
Come on, guys, don’t be dumb. I believe in God, and miracles and such, but if there was a perpetually floating rock, would it really be just stuck on some grubby hillside next to the street? Out where the birds can crap on it? If this were real, it would be one of the most holy sites/objects to the Muslim faith, so of course there’d be a mosque built around it.
yeah.. its fake
Thank you, Uccisore, the voice of reason!
This shouldn’t become a fight over whether certain theological ideas are correct or not. That’s moot.
The question is this:
Is this a real photo or a fake?
I’ll have to guess that it’s a forgery simply because of what Uccisore stated.
Religious relics are not left out in the open where thieves and delinquents can get to them.
One other thing…
I saved the image and zoomed way in. The front of that car seems to have been airbrushed out. Now, look on the right where that white ledge is (possibly the base of a statue?). The ledge disappears and does not continue behind the rock.
Also, in front of the rock, in the sand, the pattern of the sand and pebbles do not line up as if it was pasted there from another picture in order to mask the rock touching the ground and/or the rock’s shadow.
It looks like the rock used to touch the ground but someone shaded that out using MSPaint.
Or, someone took a picture of a rock, pasted it into the existing picture, and colored around it to make it match the environment.
In any case, it’s very obviously fake when enlarged and zoomed in.
hey you!!kafiruun!!!dont judge our religion…make your own!!you are such a slave of our allah…your nothing..
in your religion,theres no proof about it…so don’t make any stories about that floating stone because that is really true…islams believe in it…you israilites are the one making it fake because you are making some walls on it so that it will totally not be seen by others and you are making studies out of it….you are all idiot…you are amking some shirk to allah…
i want peace from you….so respect what i wrote because you had started this fight…
peace on earth and lets everyone see the truth in the judgement day..
Hey genius & aroon. I don’t give a damn it you said there is no ALLAH. It’s up you. You cant say what ever you wanted to say. But the truth is there is ALLAH. The Might Creator Of All Things. For your information, the floated rock is in the dome.maybe the picture was the fake one. To genius i believe that you are one of the ‘poor person’ or could i say Qafir. And to aroon, i really shame that you are one of muslim. I really hope that ALLAH give you the ‘light’ to your heart
the floating rock is real. my uncle just came back from Israel a few days ago. He actually went to see the rock and took pictures of it. It’s all real.
Iffat if ur uncle took pics of that rock then please share these pics with us. Thank You
i know its hard for some of you to hear anyone saying “there’s no Allah”. Actually I wouldn’t pick it too much as my concern.
for me, the existence of such floating rock is totally a fake. It disobeys the law of nature as it should be. How could be a rock floats on the air? oowh come on guys, are u telling me that we have diffenct physics world there? where such location are being so special?
do not be trapped by your religion to jugde anything that happens in the nature. Science will give better things to jugde it. I don’t think that God would mess up the law of nature.
actually, i dont know if im gonna believe about that floating rock. im a christian and im studying in a muslim area. anyway, my muslim friends keep on telling me that the floating rock is true. they said every haj, their relatives and parents used to visit that. i dunno if that is true or not. i respect everybody’s religion so i cant judge them about the whole story of the floating rock. we all know that science cannot explain everything right? so for us to believe if that is true or not, y not visit it? hehe.
If there is no Allah,there’s no Jesus and Jesus is definitely the messenger of Allah same just an ordinary human.
I believe it is true. I have a read an editor’s reportation. He gave some pictures of him under that stone. Guess what ? It is inside the Al Aqso Mosque. And it was difficult to get a permission to enter that “country”.
A simple run through a hex editor will tell you this image was manipulated using adobe.
It is everyone’s personal choice and personal path what they choose to have faith in but as for the image….it’s a fake.
All about ALlah is true no fake, everything come from ALQuran is true- Msia Muslim
Dear ‘disay’,
I like yr style most! Very diplomatic, tactful and realistic. For those who wants to quench their curiosity, go visit the place and view in person for real. If the photo was a fake, then the person faking it has to be responsible. Thats all. If its real, then its real! We all hv individual beliefs and views, at the same time, we do need to consider other’s feelings too. Debate if need be, but make it on a positive note and constructively. The things that science cant explain, make yr references in the Holy Quran. They hv plenty of chapters about science anyway ….. like hv anyone ever questioned why or what or who controlled the law of gravity naturally? Or what or who controls which ’souls’ reach out to which foetus in mothers’ wombs worldwide? Some things are simply unexplainable whilst some others are just not meant to be visible but its there. Otherwise vocabs like ‘faith’ and ‘belief’ and ‘miracle’ would not hv existed in the dictionary I suppose. Just examples of my personal opinion, scientists pls dont get seriously offensive okay? wallahualambissawab.
I heard that the picture is fake. There are several websites that I have visited before talking about the original rock. I will posted later when I have the address.
Rabbani
Ok, here is one website that writes the true story of the floating rock and pictures of the original rock at several different angles. It shows that there are actually supporting rocks beneath it.
2 things.existance of rock…and miracle of ALLAH.”the rock wanted to follow MUHAMMAD peace be upon him.” seems to be an unverified quote and i would rather not spread it or confirm it.
secondly there is such a rock….seems to be true.in Saudi Arabia in AL AHSA…not truely hanging but attached to ground and photos are taken to look like its floating.
there is also something interesting in the END
A guy aroon at comment #6 said that there is no ALLAH.and he is a muslim. Basic belief to be muslim is to belief in ALLAH and HIS prophet MUHAMMAD s.a.w as ALLAH’s servant and ALLAH’s last Messenger.so one claiming to be a muslim with a belief apenny more than this or a penny less than this is not muslim.then there is also a detail of belief with include believing in all the other prophets including ISSA (isac or jesus or jeshua) and MUSA (moses) and DAUD (david or dawood or da’ud) which chritians believe too and JEWS as well(note that jews also do not believe JESUS).
Final interesting point..can a rock float…meta physics says YES IT CAN..there are some interesting photos of cars floating in the air in USA car park.so anything which breaks our logics and rules of our physics is possible under meta physics and is called a miracle.But one is surely allowed to find out some reason behind a miracle even a conspiracy..
