father of Eber. Both Hud and Salih are said to

clay marked by God which were caused to rain down

Mazar Hazrat Yusha' bin Noon (Joshua b. Nun)
(Peace be upon him) in the town of Zayy near
the city of al-Salt in Jordan . The tomb itself
is roughly 10 meters in length. Some scholars
and travelers claim that this is actually the
Mazar of the prophet Hosea [Ar. Hoshu'a] (Peace
be upon him). Hazrat Prophet Joshua (Peace be
upon him) is not mentioned by name in the Quran
but Muslim scholars say that he is the "companion"
of Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) mentioned in
the holy Qur'an (18:60-65) and he became
prophet after Hazrat Musa (Peace be upon him).
Scholars on the narratives in the Quran referring
to the Israelites' conquest of the Holy Land detail
the stories associated with Joshua b. Nun. Ibn
Kathir reports that Joshua was a great warrior
and lived for 127 years.

the Queen of Sheba, perhaps one of those supposed
to have been built by Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon)
