Sassanian Persia’s forgotten victory: The tunnel of death in the Syrian Desert

The Sassanian dynasty under Shapur I replaced the Parthians and pushed westward with relentless force. Shapur’s trilingual inscription at Naqsh-e Rostam (Ka'ba-ye Zartosht) records that during his second invasion of Syria, he crushed a Roman army and captured thirty-seven towns, among them Dura-Europos. After the siege, the city vanished from history for seventeen centuries.

AhlulBayt News Agency: The Day of Arafah is one of the greatest opportunities for servitude and returning to God. It is a day when even those who missed the Nights of Qadr can join the caravan of the people of spirituality and attain high stations.
