History
The name "al-Kiswah" means “the garment”.[1] According to a tradition related by Yaqut al-Hamawi, this is because the king of Rum sent some messengers to demand tribute from a figure named King Ghassan; he had the messengers killed and then, at the site of al-Kiswah, he had their garments divided up.[1]
Yaqut and Ibn Battuta both described al-Kiswah as the first stage on the hajj route out of Damascus.[1] Abu'l-Fida similarly described al-Kiswah as a stopping place on the road south of Damascus and added that between the two places, the road went through a “beautiful pass” called the 'Aqabah ash-Shuhūrah.[1] He also wrote that it lay on a stream called the Nahr al-A'waj which flowed down from the “mountain of snow”, i.e. Mount Hermon.[1]
In 1838, Eli Smith noted it as a predominantly Sunni Muslim village.[2]
