Ghuraifa

Ghuraifa

Ghuraifa (ArB|الغريفة) was a village in Bahrain that has now been subsumed in to the Juffair suburb of Manama, Bahrain. Its Bahraini inhabitants are Baharna Shia. The village and its descendants have produced a number of prominent Twelver clerics, including:
* Grand Ayatollah [http://www.ghoraifi-alnajaf.com/mag/index.php Alaeddin Al Ghuraifi] of Najaf
* Senior Bahraini cleric [http://www.alghuraifi.org/ Abdullah al Ghuraifi]
* [http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/02/international/middleeast/02iraq.html Kamaleddin Ghuraifi] , the assassinated representative of Ayatollah Sistani in Baghdad.

The village lies west of the U.S. Naval Support Activity Bahrain base, and south of the Bahrain School.
