Group Description
hrakan, Arabic ( شهركان ) is a small village located in the western part of the island of Bahrain on the green belt of it, between the village of Sadad (from the northwest) and the village of Dar Kulaib (from the southeast). It is surrounded by farms and orchards from all sides except for the east, where the archaeological “Ali” hills are located on the east and Hamad Town , and on the southeast side there is the village of Dar Kulaib
naming
The reason for naming Shahrakan by this name is that it was an agricultural area owned by a man called “Shah Rakan”, a Persian figure. And many elders of the village quoting the first two.
And it is reported from Sheikh Muhammad Ali Al-Tajer in his manuscript book: “ The Pearl of Pearls fi Tarikh Awal ” (where “ Awal ” is the old name of the island of Bahrain) that Shahrakan is a distortion of “Shah Rakan” and its meaning: “Atiyah of the King”.
Famous water eyes
The most prominent characteristic of the village of Shahrakan is the multiplicity of water springs and their names. Shahrakan contains some fresh water springs that sometimes fill up and water flows out, as is the case in “Ayn al-Jujub” or “Ayn al-Imam”, where it was abundant with water and most of the time the water flowed from it and it became like a lake. The ancients mention that water was colliding with the hill on which the “Sheikh Abdul-Hussein” mosque was built, and its end at the “Ras Al-Nakhil” mosque, and some young people drowned in it, including Fardan bin Ali bin Shabib and Makki bin Hassan bin Habib bin Shabib. There is also the water that flows underground in a basement (cavity) heading towards the east and then limping to the south until Jassim Talaq’s house today.
In the past, the people relied on this spring, and it was buried, and only the spring remains, and it descends to it by degrees. There are many names for the water springs that the village was famous for in the past, including Ain al-Hakim, Ain Hussain al-Sharqiya, Ain Qarqur, Ain al-Sabkha, Ain al-Madra, Ain Lamsaber, Uyun Layadi, Ain Ljebaila, Ain Dulab Marzban, Ain al-Shamaliyah, well of Sheikh Laith.
