Qabr-e-Anwar of the prophet Hud


This sign marks the Maqam (where  he prayed) OR the Qabr-e-Anwar of the prophet Hud (Peace be upon him) in Damascus. It is located  in the Qiblah wall of the Umayyad mosque in the center of the old city. Some  older traditions claim that this is actually the Mazar of Hazrat Hud, that he  was buried inside this wall when the mosque was constructed in the early  Umayyad period. The mosque also contains a well which is called the  "Well of Hud." (Peace be upon him)
