00:00A village in Saudi Arabia, Laina, where there are 300 wells dug by the Jinn for the army of Prophet Solomon.
00:11Most of them have been destroyed, but people still get sweet water from 20 wells.
00:19The Jinn had made these wells by breaking the hardest rocks instead of the ground, which still amaze the experts.
00:28Visitors from far away to see these wonders head to this area.
00:34According to Al Arabiya, this historical village of Saudi Arabia, Laina, is located 100 km from the northern city of Rafah.
00:46This ancient area is famous all over the country due to its strategic importance and numerous ancient monuments.
00:55In ancient times, the famous road between Baitul Maqdis and Yemen used to pass through this village.
01:03The famous road from Aden to Iraq, Makkah, Zubaida, and Durba Zubaida also used to pass through this area.
01:13Even now, many tourists visit this area.
01:19Saudi researcher Hamd Al-Jasir says that the army of Prophet Solomon also landed in this ancient village.
01:27When Prophet Solomon was going to Yemen with his army, he stayed here.
01:33In this desolate area, the army needed water.
01:38The Jinn had made these wells by breaking the hardest rocks instead of the ground, which still amaze the experts.
01:51The Jinn had made these wells by breaking the hardest rocks instead of the ground, which still amaze the experts.
02:01The Jinn had used something like a drill machine to cut the rocks, whose marks can still be seen clearly all around the wells.
02:12Experts are investigating how the Jinn had finally cut these hardest rocks to a depth of 60 to 80 meters.
02:22And with the help of which area did they do this?
02:27Although only 20 of these 300 wells have survived, the marks of all the wells are still present here.
02:37Everyone who sees these wells is amazed.
02:42According to historical narrations, when Prophet Solomon was going to Yemen with his army, he landed here for lunch.
02:52The army also included the army of the Jinn.
02:55When people were thirsty, Prophet Solomon looked at the commander of the army of the Jinn, Saptar, and he was laughing.
03:04Prophet Solomon asked him why he was laughing.
03:08He said, You people are thirsty, but sweet water is at your feet.
03:15Prophet Solomon ordered Saptar to bring water.
03:20In a short while, he dug 300 wells with the help of his army, and the entire army of Prophet Solomon floated.
03:30Until the time of the famous historian Yaqub Hamoudi, all these wells were filled with sweet water.
03:37Yaqub Hamoudi has written in his book Mujamul Baldaan that Laina comes to the seventh floor from the city of Wasitah in Iraq to Makkah Mukarrama.
03:48This area is famous for its sweet water wells.
03:53Because of these wells, this area later became a trading center where the traders of Iraq and Arabia put up markets.
04:02People from the northern areas of Saudi Arabia, including Najd, used to come here to shop.
04:08The traders kept their commodities here until the next season and kept them in large warehouses built on the mountains, which were called Sayyabait.
04:19These warehouses are still present there.
04:22In addition, this area is also famous for its different ancient artifacts.
04:27The Saudi government also built a royal castle here.
04:31This castle, built in 1354 Hijri, is made of stone and wood.
04:39It should be noted that Prophet Solomon was also ruled by the Jinn.
04:46The Jinn took part in the construction of the Baitul Maqdis by his order.
04:51They used to bring pearls from the sea and stones from far away.
04:56The buildings built by them are still present.
04:59In addition to this, Prophet Solomon used to work a lot with the Jinn, which has been clearly mentioned in the Holy Quran.
