Description

The Bir Al Shifa Well, also known as (Beer Al-Shifa) is a famous well in Islamic history. It is located apx 1 hour drive from the Blessed City of Madinah. It reported that this well was originally dug to assist muslim pilgrims who would travel for Hajj and Ummrah and required water on their journey.

However, its water was bitter and salty and often made people ill. It is reported that The Blessed Prophet Muhammed, Peace and Blessings of God Be Upon Him, was informed about the bitterness and unhealthy nature of the water. He placed his Blessed saliva in the water after which the nature of the water became sweet and healthy by the permission of God. Visitors today can still visit this well is located off the main highway and taste the sweetness of this water for themselves.

A historic place in Madina Munawwara connected with the Islamic Scholar Urwah bin Zubair in the early period of Islamic histiory. Urwah ibn Az-Zubair was born in the year 22 of the Islamic calendar, i.e. 12 years after the Prophet had passed away. Urwah was a very generous man. He used to open a door into his farm at the time when dates were ripe so that anyone could go in and take whatever he wished of his dates. He dug a well for people to drink, and it was said to have the finest water in Madinah. He was a man of genuine piety. He used to read about one quarter of the Qur’an every day and spent nights in rememberance of Allah.
