Editing Euphrates (section)

== Religion ==
=== Islam ===
In Islamic tradition, a [[hadith]] of [[Muhammad]] states that the Last Hour will not occur until the Euphrates River uncovers a mountain of gold, over which people will fight. Ninety-nine out of every one hundred individuals engaged in this conflict will perish, with each person hoping to be the one who secures the treasure. The hadith also advises that whoever finds this gold should refrain from taking any of it. This event is considered one of the minor signs of the approaching Day of Judgment.<ref>[https://www.iium.edu.my/deed/hadith/muslim/041_smt.html Sahih Muslim, Book 041: 6918 & 6920]</ref>
