The Al-Khidr Shrine was a monument located in Failaka Island dating back to the late 19th century. It was dedicated to the figure of Al-Khidr, who locals believed caused the land to turn green wherever he went and gifted Failaka with underground freshwater.
People believed it protected fisherman, cured diseases and infertility. People would visit the shrine, sacrificing sheep and asking for blessings, and women would pray and sprinkle rosewater at the shrine when wishing for a child.
Due to ‘unrealistic’ actions, the shrine was demolished by Failaka’s governor in the 1930s, yet people still kept coming back to the shrine and was rebuilt many times, with pictures existing as early as 1937 in Freya Stark’s Baghdad Sketches. Locals remember Salha Al-Bnaya (Salha the girl) who devoted herself to the shrine and maintained it. It was permanently demolished in 1976 by the government as it went against the beliefs of the state.

It’s been one year since Israel began the genocide in Gaza and still the world is watching!!
Since October 7, 2023, over 41,000 people were killed in #Gaza, and more than 90 percent were displaced.
Since October 7, families were denied basic human rights like food and clean water. Babies were left without milk, and children without the chance to learn.
So many mothers lost their sons and daughters, fathers lost their loved ones, and entire families were erased from existence.
Now, Israel’s cruelty has reached #Lebanon. Over 2000 people have been killed and over a million people from the south, Bekaa, and southern Beirut have been displaced, forced to sleep in the streets.
Write in the comments below #stopthewarnow maybe someone will listen.
