• May 24 Aflaj Systems, Part 4

    Solomon's Legacy

    Although generally thought to be of Persian origin and brought to Oman during the Achaemenid era (550-330 BC), popular myth credits the aflaj system to King Solomon. Reportedly visiting Oman on his way to Yemen (Sheba), Solomon became thirsty and exasperated with the lack of water.  He then supposedly ordered the jinn (demons) to dig 1000 aflaj every day. Hence, the 'Dawoodi' aflaj system, named after King Solomon's father, King David.

    Today, let us pray for the refreshing of the Omani people.

    “The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.” (Isaiah 58:11)

    • We declare that God will satisfy the thirst of the Omani people with the true Living Water!
    • We declare that Omani people will be spiritually refreshed and restored, fruitful and life-giving to others!
    • We declare that You, Jesus, are the ever-flowing Spring that brings eternal life to Oman!  

    Worship with us!: Into the Deep by Citipointe Worship. May many Omanis be immersed in the flood of Your love!
