Beer-e-Shifa history The history of the mysterious Beer-e-Shifa goes way back to around 1400 years. This well was initially dredged by the villagers of the area for their water consumption. The well was supposed to provide fresh underground water to the villagers and those passing through the village. Unfortunately, the water was unfit to drink as it was saline and bitter. Those villagers who consumed the water were affected by various types of illnesses. Animals were also badly affected as they consumed the poisonous water from the well until Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) announced the elimination of the toxicity of the well.
