Karak Nuh (Beqaa)

Karak Nuh, a village in the Beqaa Valley of modern Lebanon, is traditionally associated with a tomb identified as that of the prophet Noah. It was a place of study for Jabal Amil scholars; the Twelver jurist al-Shahid al-Thani (Zayn al-Din al-Amili, d. 1558) studied there in his youth, and the jurist al-Muhaqqiq al-Karaki (d. 1534) took his nisba al-Karaki from it. [NOTE: al-Shahid al-Thani was born in Juba', not Karak Nuh; he studied at Karak Nuh.]
