Ahmad Ibn Ajlan
Shihāb al-Dīn Abū Sulaymān Aḥmad ibn ‘Ajlān ibn Rumaythah al-Ḥasanī ( ar, شهاب الدين أبو سليمان أحمد بن عجلان بن رميثة الحسني) was Emir of Mecca from 1361 to 1386. Ahmad was born around 740 AH (), the son of Ajlan ibn Rumaythah. He served as deputy to his father during the latter's co-reign with Thaqabah ibn Rumaythah. After Ajlan and Thaqabah were deposed by Sultan al-Nasir Hasan in 1359, Ahmad and his brother Kubaysh were imprisoned in Egypt along with their father. They were released in 762 AH (1361) when Ajlan was reappointed to the Emirate of Mecca. When Ajlan assumed the Emirate in early Shawwal 762 AH (August 1361) he appointed Ahmad as coregent. In 774 AH (1372) Ajlan abdicated his share of the Emirate to Ahmad, though his name continued to be mentioned in the ''khutbah'' alongside Ahmad's until he died in 777 AH (1375). In 780 AH (1378/1379) Ahmad appointed his own son Muhammad as co-Emir. Ahmad died on Saturday night, 2 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Emir Of Mecca
Emir (; ar, أمير ' ), sometimes transliterated amir, amier, or ameer, is a word of Arabic origin that can refer to a male monarch, aristocrat, holder of high-ranking military or political office, or other person possessing actual or ceremonial authority. The title has a long history of use in the Arab World, East Africa, West Africa, Central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. In the modern era, when used as a formal monarchical title, it is roughly synonymous with "prince", applicable both to a son of a hereditary monarch, and to a reigning monarch of a sovereign principality, namely an emirate. The feminine form is emira ( '), a cognate for "princess". Prior to its use as a monarchical title, the term "emir" was historically used to denote a "commander", "general", or "leader" (for example, Amir al-Mu'min). In contemporary usage, "emir" is also sometimes used as either an honorary or formal title for the head of an Islamic, or Arab (regardless of religion) organisation or ...

Hijri Year
The Hijri year ( ar, سَنة هِجْريّة) or era ( ''at-taqwīm al-hijrī'') is the era used in the Islamic lunar calendar. It begins its count from the Islamic New Year in which Muhammad and his followers migrated from Mecca to Yathrib (now Medina). This event, known as the Hijrah, is commemorated in Islam for its role in the founding of the first Muslim community (''ummah''). In the West, this era is most commonly denoted as AH ( la, Anno Hegirae , 'in the year of the Hijra') in parallel with the Christian (AD), Common (CE) and Jewish eras (AM) and can similarly be placed before or after the date. In predominantly Muslim countries, it is also commonly abbreviated H ("Hijra") from its Arabic abbreviation '' hāʾ'' (). Years prior to AH 1 are reckoned in English as BH ("Before the Hijrah"), which should follow the date. A year in the Islamic lunar calendar consists of twelve lunar months and has only 354 or 355 days in its year. Consequently its New Year's Day occurs ...

Ajlan Ibn Rumaythah
‘Izz al-Dīn Abū Sarī‘ ‘Ajlān ibn Rumaythah ibn Muḥammad Abī Numayy al-Ḥasanī ( ar, عز الدين أبو سريع عجلان بن رميثة بن محمد أبي نمي الحسني) was Emir of Mecca from 1344 and 1372, with interruptions. Biography Ajlan was born around 707 Hijri year, AH (). He was the son of the Emir of Mecca Rumaythah ibn Abi Numayy, who reigned between 1301 and 1345. In 744 AH (1343/1344) Ajlan and his brother Thaqabah ibn Rumaythah, Thaqabah purchased the emirate from their elderly father for 60,000 dirhams, without approval from the Mamluk sultan. Consequently, when Thaqabah arrived in Egypt seeking recognition from As-Salih Ismail, Sultan of Egypt, al-Salih Isma'il, the sultan had him arrested and ordered the emirate returned to Rumaythah. In late Dhu al-Qi'dah (April 1344) Ajlan quit Mecca after receiving news of Thaqabah's capture. He went to Yemen, where he interfered with the passage of ''jilab'' (ships) to Mecca, resulting in high in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thaqabah Ibn Rumaythah
Asad al-Dīn Abū Shihāb Thaqabah ibn Rumaythah ibn Muḥammad Abī Numayy al-Ḥasanī ( ar, أسد الدين أبو شهاب ثقبة بن رميثة بن محمد أبي نمي الحسني) was Emir of Mecca six times between 1344 and 1361. Biography Thaqabah was the son of Rumaythah ibn Abi Numayy, Emir of Mecca. In 744 AH (1343/1344) Thaqabah and his brother Ajlan purchased the Emirate of Mecca from their father for 60,000 dirhams. Soon afterwards, Thaqabah went to Egypt in response to summons from Sultan al-Salih Isma'il while Ajlan remained in Mecca. In Dhu al-Qi'dah 744 AH (March/April 1344) news reached Mecca that al-Salih had arrested Thaqabah and returned the Emirate to Rumaythah. Thaqabah was later released and returned to Mecca. In 746 AH (1345) Ajlan became Emir of Mecca and expelled Thaqabah to Wadi Nakhlah. Later that year Thaqabah was arrested in Egypt with his brothers Sanad and Mughamis. In 747 AH (1346/1347) or 748 AH (1347/1348) Sultan al-Kamil Sha'ban ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Al-Nasir Hasan
An-Nasir Badr ad-Din Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Qalawun (1334/35–17 March 1361), better known as an-Nasir Hasan, was the Mamluk sultan of Egypt, and the seventh son of an-Nasir Muhammad to hold office, reigning twice in 1347–1351 and 1354–1361. During his first reign, which he began at age 12, senior Mamluk emirs formerly belonging to an-Nasir Muhammad, dominated his administration, while an-Nasir Hasan played a ceremonial role. He was toppled in 1351 when he attempted to assert executive authority to the chagrin of the senior emirs. He was reinstated three years later during a coup against his brother Sultan as-Salih Salih by emirs Shaykhu and Sirghitmish. During his second reign, an-Nasir Hasan maneuvered against the leading emirs, gradually purging them and their supporters from the administration through imprisonment, forced exile and execution. He replaced many ''mamluks'' with ''awlad al-nas'' (descendants of ''mamluks''), who he found to be more reliable, competent and a ...

Khutbah
''Khutbah'' ( ar, خطبة ''khuṭbah'', tr, hutbe) serves as the primary formal occasion for public preaching in the Islamic tradition. Such sermons occur regularly, as prescribed by the teachings of all legal schools. The Islamic tradition can be formally observed at the '' Dhuhr'' (noon) congregation prayer on Friday. In addition, similar ''sermon''s are called for on the two festival days and after Solar and Lunar Eclipse prayer. Origins and definition Religious narration (including sermons) may be pronounced in a variety of settings and at various times. The ''khutbah'', however, refers to ''khutbah al-jum'a'', usually meaning the address delivered in the mosque at weekly (usually Friday) and annual rituals. Other religious oratory and occasions of preaching are described as ''dars'' (a lesson) or ''waz'' (an admonition), and their formats differ accordingly."Khutba", ''Encyclopedia of Islam and the Muslim World'' The ''khutbah'' originates from the practice of th ...

Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Ajlan
Jamāl al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn ‘Ajlān al-Ḥasanī ( ar, جمال الدين محمد بن أحمد بن عجلان الحسني) was Emir of Mecca in partnership with his father Ahmad ibn Ajlan from 1378/1379 to 1386, then independently for a few months in 1386. In 780 AH (1378/1379) Ahmad ibn Ajlan made his son Muhammad coregent. The appointment was to little effect, as Ahmad still retained full control over affairs of the Emirate. In 787 AH (1385) Ahmad imprisoned his brother Muhammad ibn Ajlan and his relatives Inan ibn Mughamis, Hasan ibn Thaqabah, Ahmad ibn Thaqabah, and Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Thaqabah. Inan escaped to Egypt and complained to Sultan al-Zahir Barquq. The Sultan ordered Ahmad to release the sharifs, but he refused. After Ahmad ibn Ajlan's death in Sha'ban 788 AH (September 1386) Muhammad ibn Ahmad became sole Emir of Mecca, with his uncle Kubaysh assuming a powerful role. Muhammad sent word to al-Zahir informing him of his father's death and reques ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Al-Ma'lah Cemetery
Jannat al-Mu'alla ( ar, جَنَّة ٱلْمُعَلَّاة, Jannah al-Muʿallāh, lit=The Most Exalted Paradise), also known as the "Cemetery of Ma'la" ( ar, مَقْبَرَة ٱلْمَعْلَاة, link=no ') and ''Al-Ḥajūn'' ( ar, ٱلْحَجُوْن, link=no), is a cemetery to the north of '' Al-Masjid Al-Haram'', and near the Mosque of the Jinn in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. It is the place where the Islamic prophet Muhammad's wife, grandfather, and other ancestors are buried. History Many of Muhammad's relatives were buried in this cemetery before his Hijrah in 622. Many domes and structures have been built or rebuilt over known graves over the years. Tombs in this cemetery were demolished in 1925, the same year that the Jannat al-Baqi' cemetery in Medina was demolished by Saudi King, Ibn Saud. This happened despite protests by the international Islamic community. Some Shiites continue to mourn the day the House of Saud demolished shrines in Al-Baqi, which has be ...

Qubba
A ''qubba'' ( ar, قُبَّة, translit=qubba(t), pl. ''qubāb''), also transliterated as ḳubba, kubbet and koubba, is a cupola or domed structure, typically a tomb or shrine in Islamic architecture. In many regions, such as North Africa, the term ''qubba'' commonly the tomb of a local ''wali'' (local Muslim saint) or marabout, and usually consists of a chamber covered by a dome or pyramidal cupola. Etymology The Arabic word qubba was originally used to mean a tent of hides, or generally the assembly of a material such as cloth into a circle. It's likely that this original meaning was extended to denote domed buildings after the latter had developed in Islamic architecture. It is now also used generally for tomb sites if they are places of pilgrimage. In Turkish and Persian the word ''kümbet'', ''kumbad'', or ''gunbād'' has a similar meaning for dome or domed tomb. Historical development A well-known example of an Islamic domed shrine is the Dome of the Rock, known in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Banu Qatadah
The Banu Qatadah ( ar, بنو قتادة, Banū Qatādah, Sons of Qatadah), or the Qatadids ( ar, القتاديون, al-Qatādayūn), were a dynasty of Hasanid sharifs that held the Sharifate of Mecca continuously from 1201 until its abolition in 1925. The Qatadids were the last of four dynasties of Hasanid sharifs (preceded by the Jafarids/Musawids, Sulaymanids, and the Hawashim) that all together ruled Mecca since about the mid-10th century. The progenitor of the dynasty was Qatadah ibn Idris, who took possession of the holy city from the Hawashim in 1201. The Emirate remained in the possession of his descendants until 1925 when the last Sharif of Mecca, Ali of Hejaz, Ali ibn al-Husayn, surrendered the Kingdom of Hejaz to Ibn Saud, Sultanate of Nejd, Sultan of Nejd. The House of Bolkiah, which rules Brunei, claims Qatadid descent and Sayyid status from their ancestor Sharif Ali's grandfather Rumaythah ibn Abi Numayy, Emir Rumaythah.
