Galilee and Tiberiasالجليل

The green hill country around the Lake of Tiberias where Isa preached and called his disciples.

Isa healed, preached and called the Hawariyyun here (3:52), and here Christian tradition sets many of his miracles. Tiberias on the lake became a Muslim town in 634. In the hadith of the end times, Yajuj and Majuj pass by the lake and drink it dry.
