A tour of the village of Nabi Saleh, starting off on top of the building that houses the shrine.

The residents of Nabi Salih identify a blue-color-domed building complex with the shrine of the prophet Salih (Biblical Shelah). It was built in the 19th century during Ottoman rule. It was situated on the remains of a Crusader structure, which was presumably built atop the ruins of a Byzantine-era church. The remains of the Crusader-Byzantine structure, include apses of a three-isle chapel located behind the shrine complex.[1]

In 2003, under the supervision of architect Yara al-Sharif, the complex was restored. It cost $63,000, primarily funded by Sweden. The praying hall and tomb room are owned by the Islamic waqf authority, but is rented by the Nabi Salih Cultural Centre. Currently, the complex is composed of three floors (including an underground floor) containing the tomb, a large praying room, an olive press, a water well, a classroom, a multipurpose hall, a double-vaulted lecture room, a courtyard and two front and back terraces. All entrances are semi-circular pointed arches. The An Nabi Salih Cultural Centre serves as the most important structure in the village.[1]

What is important is how Murad Tamimi points out how the settlers have taken over the spring that the villagers use to water their land, & how the IDF has burned all crops on the land they plan to seize, so they can deny it was farmland.
