The pearl path is a historical documentation of an important area of Muharraq, as it includes a number of museums, “Al -Bayra”, ancient shops and monuments, and in fact, the efforts made in highlighting the historical side are tremendous efforts, and of course there are more archaeological sites and historical buildings that need to take measures and measures to convert them to archaeological monuments in these region.
Among these landmarks is the Hussein bin Salman bin Matar Al -Waqfi School, which is one of the private schools in Bahrain, as education in Bahrain, like the rest of the Islamic countries, depended on private schools, which are schools that depend on the efforts of volunteers from teachers, and the donations of the people who are beneficial from merchants and able, either in the form of stopping buildings to be the seat of these schools or by providing in -kind and critical donations to support the operation of these schools. Bahrain has embraced many private schools in pre -regular education.
There is in the alleys of the ancient Muharraq, and on a path of pearls, specifically in the “Freej” bin Khater neighborhood, which is located in the northwestern side of Muharraq, in the old Muharraq market area on the northern side of Sheikh Hamad Street, and on the southern side of Sheikh Abdullah Street in this neighborhood is an ancient school established in 1911 AD, which is a private school for the sciences of religion, founded by the merchant Hussein bin Salman bin Matar, which is an old The south, and the rest of the school is a left yard to play. In recent years, part of this square has been interrupted to make two rental shops for rent.
It was dedicated to memorizing the Noble Qur’an, teaching its sciences and sciences, where children memorize the evening of the Holy Qur’an, as it was meeting every Monday evening, Sheikhs and religious scholars in Bahrain to discuss jurisprudence issues, and reach fatwas if necessary. This school had a clear activity until the mid -seventies.
Among the scholars who studied Sheikh Abdullah bin Ajlan, who is one of the religious scholars in Bahrain, is a preacher and the imam of the Sheikh Issa bin Ali Al Khalifa Mosque, who is one of the students of Sheikh Abdullah bin Khalaf bin Dhahi Al -Kubaisi, one of the scholars of Bahrain in the beginning of the nineteenth century, and Al -Kubaisi, the husband of Sheikh Abdullah Ajlan’s sister, was “safe” and he took care of his education and his upbringing.
However, if you pass today at the building of this school, which was one day, he stated from the edifices of education, you find that it has turned into a collective housing for Asian workers, and how much we wish those concerned to consider the matter of the building of this school and rehabilitate it to turn into an archaeological tourist landmark similar to the experience of rehabilitating the rest of the old buildings that are on the pearl path, and to be taken as the headquarters of the Quran Memorization Center or the Center for the Education Education, to restore the glories of that school The building is de facto for the purpose for which it was established … and you are safe.
