History
Zawiya appeared in the 1596 Ottoman tax registers as being in the Nahiya of Jabal Qubal of the Liwa of Nablus. It had a population of 4 households, all Muslim, and paid taxes on wheat, barley, fruit trees, occasional revenues, goats and beehives. French explorer Victor Guérin visited the village in 1870, and described it as having about 200 inhabitants and a small mosque. In the 1882 Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine, the village was described a being of moderate size, "probably an ancient place, having rock-cut tombs to the south."

Back From Alone
by: Asia Cruise(Verse1)
Where's life led me
Have I ended up somewhere
That I'll soon to be
Regretting
Cause my heart was heavy
But right now it doesn't
Feel at all like I'm back
From the past
And these places and
Faces in front of me(oh)
How they look so familiar(so familiar)
But somehow on my journey
I ended up somewhere
I feel I belong
(Chorus)
Feels like I walked a million miles
So far away,So many trials
Happy to see with open eyes
So good to be
Back from alone
Didn't realized the missing piece
Me all along but now I see
And you're still waiting here for me
So good to be
Back from alone
(Verse2)
I could tell you stories
And looking back I could see things coming
But it must have been meant for me
No sacrifice no glory
I admit it gave a little more
Than I really had
But its for the best now
Sometimes getting back what you
want takes some heartaches, sense and
Some letdowns
I feel so refreshed now
But the difference this time it will last
No going back
Couldn't figure it out for the life of me(Why)
Why I always felt out of place there(out of place there)
Where I never felt quite as comfortable
Now I see that I made it home
(See that I made it home)
(Chorus)
Feels like I walked a million miles
So far away,So many trials
Happy to see with open eyes
So good to be
Back from alone(Back from alone)
Didn't realized the missing piece
Me all along but now I see
And you're still waiting here for me(Here for me)
So good to be(So good to be)
Back from alone
(Verse3)
Been away,Too long
I've forgot how good it feels
To be back to what is real
I wish I had never left
No more pain,No more tears
I'm just glad that I'm back again
All the places have come and gone
But so glad to be
Back from alone
(Chorus)
Feels like I walked a million miles
So far away,So many trials(yeah,yeah)
Happy to see(yeah,yeah) with open eyes
So good to be(So good to be)
(Yeah,Yeah)Back from alone
Didn't realized the missing piece
Me all along but now I see(now i see)
And you're still waiting here for me(So good to be)
So good to be
(ohh)Back from alone
Heyyy
Yeah,yeah,
