Islam itself does not offer any evidence in support of Atlantis’ existence. However, the Qur’an was not intended as a history book^(a). Nevertheless, a number of renowned medieval Arabic writers such as Al-Biruni, Al-Idrisi and Al-Mas’udi have been referred to as offering indirect but relevant evidence for the submergence of Atlantis in the Mediterranean following the breaching of a dam at Gibraltar. A more contemporary Iraqi scholar, Salah Salim Ali, in a twenty-page essay entitled Arabic References to Plato’s Lost Atlantis^[077], he discusses a possible link between Atlantis and “the City of Brass” referred to by medieval arab writers.
