Some journeys begin with maps and landmarks. Others begin with a story that feels like it was whispered from the edge of imagination. In BUKHAREE’s video, “Islam’s Mystery Island & Creature”, the setting is unforgettable: sailors drift for a month at sea, wash up on an unknown fog-covered island, and encounter an astonishing creature before they even find a human soul.
A fog-covered island and a creature with a name
The account starts with a group of 30 sailors who become lost at sea for an entire month. When they finally reach land, it’s not a cheerful coastline or a welcoming settlement—it’s an unknown island cloaked in fog. The first thing they see isn’t a person at all, but a massive, incredibly hairy creature named Aljasasa.
According to the video, the name Aljasasa literally means “the spy”. The creature’s fur is so thick that it becomes difficult to distinguish where its head ends and tail begins, heightening the feeling that they’ve stepped into something beyond ordinary explanation.
Spoken Arabic and a direction into the unknown
What makes the encounter even more striking is that Aljasasa is described as speaking fluent Arabic. Instead of simply frightening the sailors and vanishing, it is said to point them towards a dark monastery.
This is where the story turns from eerie to dramatic. The sailors follow the guidance and enter the monastery, where the atmosphere is painted as heavy and shadowed—setting the stage for what they discover next.
The monastery secret: a giant locked in chains
Inside, the sailors find a giant man locked in massive iron chains. The video presents this discovery as the heart of the mystery—an impossible scene, as though time itself has been held in place behind iron and stone.
When the story returns to the Prophet ﷺ
In the video’s telling, the sailors eventually escape back to Medina. Then comes the most astonishing claim: the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) is said to have confirmed their story. The video describes this as evidence that the man had been alive and waiting on the earth throughout that entire period, including during the Prophet’s ﷺ lifetime.
The video ends by inviting viewers to reflect on the account and asks whether this is a hadith they have heard before—encouraging a conversation grounded in faith and curiosity.
