Notable people from the village.
Abduladhim Al Muhtadi Al Bahrani says in his book "Ulama Al Bahrain Durus Wa Ibar" (Arabic: علماء البحرين دروس و عبر) page 111 that a skilled author and scientist named Sayyid Abdullah Al Qarooni, who wrote Sharh Al Mughni, was from the village. However, little is known of Sayyid Abdullah Al Qarooni aside from what was noted by Al Bahrani's book and another book called "Anwar Al Badrain". It is not known when Sayyid Abdullah died, but it is sometime in 1000 hijri.
