There is a video in circulation by Christians with the caption, “Today in Mecca, a downpour fell on the grave of Mohammed – a flood on millions of people who came to celebrate Ramadan. A minute after the rain, millions of cockroaches crawled out of the ground, so the prayer stopped and everyone ran away shouting: -Stop it, get out! Everything is like in the TORA – the third Egyptian plague …”

Quick Fact: A locust swarm is a phenomenon that is not exclusive to Saudi Arabi. This was in 2019, not 2023. The Saudi Government solved the problem by spraying aerosol inside the mosque, its surroundings as well as some certain areas of the city. This was executed by a team of 22 comprising 138 individuals who used 111 aerosol diffusers.
Exposing the Mischief in the Video
Claim 1: “Today in Mecca, a downpour fell on the grave of Mohammed – a flood on millions of people who came to celebrate Ramadan”
Rebuttal – The grave of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) is in Medinah not Mecca
What information is the writer trying to pass across? Is it that a downpour fell on the grave of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) that brought about the locusts swarm or “a flood on millions of people who came to celebrate Ramadan.”?
– “a flood on millions of people who came to celebrate Ramadan.”
Millions of Muslims do not go to Mecca to celebrate Ramadan. Millions of Muslims go to Mecca for Pilgrimage while millions of Muslims celebrate the end of the month of Ramadan.
Claim 2: “A minute after the rain, millions of cockroaches crawled out of the ground”
Rebuttal – This is a lie. In the video, there’s no evidence that cockroaches crawled out of the ground. In the video, the floors are well covered with tiles/marble that if millions of cockroaches came out of the ground, it will be obvious.
Claim 3: “so the prayer stopped and everyone ran away shouting: -Stop it, get out!”
Rebuttal – Contrary to the claim, there’s nothing in the video that suggests that people were running helter skelter. If they were, the writer of the caption will not have such a stable and calmly filmed video to write a caption about.
Claim 4: “Everything is like in the TORA – the third Egyptian plague …”
Rebuttal: Here, the mischief of the writer becomes glaring. The writer equates the phenomenon of locust swarm to the plague of lice that befell Egypt in the Torah. Read why insects come out after rain: https://naturenoon.com/insects-come-out-after-a-rain/
If the author’s claim was true according to Exodus 8:16-17, how come Saudi Government quickly got rid of these insects with aerosol?
Verdict: The caption is another gimmick of the missionaries to fool unsuspecting Muslims.
If someone sent you the video before, send them this article and if not, save it against when someone sends you the video.
