The academy takes its name from a Manzil of Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم while he was going to Ghazwat Tabook, the final campaign led by him during the 9th year of Hijrah. This journey was marked by immense trials, spiritual strength, and unwavering reliance upon Allah.
A stone which is white colored is called Maroo ~ مرو in Arabic & Marwah is from Maroo.
At ZilMarwah, there is a white pillar of Quartz (Silica) which stands as pierced in a small sand hillock. You can see its pictures in the gallery, & they are also displayed as the background of every page at his website.
By choosing this name for our academy, we connect our mission with that prophetic legacy—reminding ourselves and our students that every path of healing and knowledge must be walked with faith, resilience, and sincerity.
At ZilMarwah Academy, we carry this name to reflect our vision:
A place of sacred knowledge, natural healing, and a return to the pure Sunnah—where hearts are reconnected with Allah, bodies are nurtured through prophetic wisdom, and souls are uplifted with purpose.
Shaikh Samhoudi wrote in his book Wafa-ul-Wafa
ذو المروة: بلفظ أخت الصفا، على ثمانية برد من المدينة كما سبق في مساجد تبوك، وقال المجد: هي قرية بوادي القرى، وهو مأخوذ من قول ياقوت: ذو المروة قرية بوادي القرى، على ليلة من أعمال المدينة، ثم قال المجد: وقيل: بين ذي خشب ووادي القرى. قلت: كونها بين ذي خشب ووادي القرى المشهور هو المعروف، لكن أهل المدينة اليوم يسمون القرى التي بوادي ذي خشب «وادي القرى» فلعله مراد ياقوت.
وذكر الأسدي ما يقتضي أن ذا المروة بعد وادي القرى بنحو ثلاث مراحل لجهة المدينة الشريفة، وروى ابن زبالة أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نزل بذي المروة وصلّى بها الفجر، ومكث لا يكلمهم حتى تعالى النهار، ثم خرج حتى أتى المروة فأسند إليها ظهره ملصقا، ثم دعا حتى ذرّ قرن الشمس شرقا يدعو، ويقول في آخر دعائه: اللهم بارك فيها من بلاد، واصرف عنهم الوباء، وأطعمهم من الجني، اللهم اسقهم الغيث، واللهم سلمهم من الحاج، وسلم الحاج منهم، وفي رواية أنه نزل بذي المروة فاجتمعت إليه جهينة من السهل والجبل يشكون إليه نزول الناس بهم، وقهر الناس لهم عند المياه، فدعا أقواما فأقطعهم، وأشهد بعضهم على بعض بأبي قد أقطعتهم، وأمرت أن لا يضاموا، ودعوت لكم، وأمرني حبيبي جبريل أن أعدكم حلفاء، وسبق في آخر مساجد تبوك ذكر إقطاعها لبني رفاعة من جهينة.
“ZilMarwah”, named similarly to Al-Marwah (the sister of Safa mount in Masjid-ul-Haraam), is located approximately at eight Bard (about 160 km) from Madinah, as previously mentioned in references to the Masajid on the blessed track of Ghazwat Tabook.
According to al-Majd (Ibn Taymiyyah): “It is a village in Wadi al-Qura.”
This statement is drawn from Yaqoot al-Hamawi, who quoted: “ZilMarwah is a village in Wadi al-Qura, about a day’s journey from the territory of Madinah.” Al-Majd adds: “It is also said to lie between Dhi Khushub and Wadi al-Qura.”
The opinion that it lies between Dhi Khushub and Wadi al-Qura is the more widely accepted. Today, however, the people of Madinah often refer to the settlements in Wadi Dhi Khushub as “Wadi al-Qura,” which may clarify what Yaqoot intended.
Al-Asadi notes that ZilMarwah is about three stages (approx. 3 days journey) after Wadi al-Qura, in the direction of Madinah al-Munawwarah.
Ibn Zabalah narrates that the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم camped at ZilMarwah, performed the Fajr prayer there, and remained silent until the sun rose high in the sky. Then he went to a place called Al-Marwah, leaned his back against that pillar, and began supplicating until the sun’s rays spread across the horizon. At the end of his Dua, he said:
“O Allah, bless this land, protect its people from plague, and provide them with fruits. O Allah, grant them rain, and safeguard them and the pilgrims from harm.”
In another narration, when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم arrived at ZilMarwah, the tribe of Juhaynah from both the mountains and the plains gathered to complain to him about how others had taken over their water sources and mistreated them.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم responded by allocating land to various people, publicly granting parcels and saying:
“I have given it to them, and I have been ordered that they should not be wronged. I have prayed for you. My beloved Jibreel (Gabriel) has instructed me to accept you as allies.”
This aligns with other records, especially in the Mosques on the path of Tabook, which mention that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم granted land in that area to the Banu Rifa‘ah from the Juhaynah tribe.
🕰️ Historical Background of ZilMarwah
ZilMarwah is a historic site located approximately 180 km north of Madinah al-Munawwarah, along the banks of Wadi al-Ḥamḍ (Wadi Idham). It sits near the convergence of two major valleys: Wadi al-Jizl from the north and Wadi al-Ṭabaq coming from Khaybar in the east.
Once known for its natural springs, village, and caravaan station, ZilMarwah was a vibrant location on the early Islamic trade and pilgrimage routes—particularly the Syrian Hajj Route (Darb al-Hajj al-Shami) during the first three Hijri centuries. Pilgrims would pass through Wadi al-Qura → al-Suqya → ZilMarwah, then cross into the heartlands of Madinah.
🕌 A Prophetic Site
Historical reports mention that the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم stopped at ZilMarwah, performed the Fajr prayer, and engaged in extended supplication. He leaned against a stone formation and prayed:
“O Allah, bless this land, protect its people from disease, grant them fruit, send them rain, and keep them and the pilgrims safe.”
In another report, tribes from Juhaynah complained about injustices related to water access. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم responded by allocating land rights, invoking blessings, and saying:
“I have granted you these lands and prayed for you. Jibril has instructed me to make you allies.”
This gives ZilMarwah deep spiritual and historical significance, being a place of both Prophetic prayer and justice.
📚 In Early Islamic History
Mentioned by al-Waqidi, al-Bakri, and al-Zamakhshari as part of the greater Madinah region.
Described by Ibn Zabalah and Abu al-Faraj al-Nahrawani in connection with historical events and tribal interactions.
Notably, Khalid ibn Sa‘id withdrew to ZilMarwah after the Battle of Marj al-Saffar (13 AH / 634 CE), awaiting further commands from Caliph Abu Bakr.
Al-Husayn ibn Zayd is said to have restored the water springs of ZilMarwah with wealth he brought back from Yemen, as part of a revival effort.
🏚️ Decline and Rediscovery
Over time, the village of ZilMarwah was abandoned, fell into ruin, and disappeared from the collective memory of the region. However, the renowned geographer Hamad al-Jasir later identified its location—likely corresponding to an area known as Umm Zarab—in his book Bilād Yanbu‘.
Thanks to the work of historians, geographers, and local explorers, the memory of ZilMarwah has been revived, linking us once more to the footsteps of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.
ZilMarwah is more than just a name—it is a witness to Prophetic presence, prayer, and purpose. It reminds us that healing, justice, and Barakah often begin in the forgotten corners of sacred history.
