Firq is a palm shaded village in the southeastern reaches of wilayat Nizwa, Ad Dakhiliyah Governorate, bordered by Manah to the south and Barkat Al Mawz to the east, with Jabal Al Hawra rising to its northeast. Two forts still stand watch over it, one at the village centre and another to the north, both once built to guard against raiders, while the freshwater Falaj Abu Hamaar continues to irrigate its palm groves and farms. Firq is best remembered as the birthplace of Imam Jaber bin Zaid, a scholar who travelled to Basra to study under the Prophet's companions and their followers, and the village also produced noted poets and was once known for cultivating indigo for dyeing cloth.
