The Prophet Jadur Shrine (Arabic: مقام النبي جادور) is a mosque located in Al-Salt, Jordan. According to tradition, the mosque contains a tomb of the biblical figure, Gad,[1] who is known by the locals as Jadur, or simply Jad.
The tomb of Gad is located on top of Tel Al-Jadur,[2] surrounded by a local cemetery. There is also a local spring called Ain al-Jadur which dates back to Roman and Byzantine periods.[3] The mosque built over the tomb is modern, dating back to 1958.[4]
In 2010, the site was reported to be in a poor condition.[5] Cracks formed on the ceiling of the mosque which led to pieces of the roof falling onto the floor of the building.[6] The attached toilets were also unusable due to the neglect and lack of repair for years.[7]
Incidentsedit
The building was looted and the electrical cables were stolen from it.[8]
