Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Journey of the Unseen World Chapter 9 - Spring in Valley of Peace Haadi said, "This is the city 'Huma'. Here people stay in these tents." The pillars and pegs of these tents were of gold and the ropes were of silver. While we were still some distance away Haadi said, "Wait here, I'll go and find your place." I asked, What is this place called.

The atmosphere here is so pleasant and peaceful I wish that we could stay here for a few days."
