The trials of scholars in Yemen, as seen through the book: (The Precious Necklace of the Most Excellent in the Classes of the Great People of Yemen) by its author Abu al-Hasan Ali al-Khazraji (d. 812 AH/ 1409 AD)

This study focuses on the troubles faced by Scholars in Yemen as documented in the Book: Al-Eqd Al-Faakher Al-Hasan Fi Tabaqat Akaber Ahlul-Yaman (The Elegant Pearl in the Classes of the Great Notables of Yemen) by Abu Al-Hasan Ali Al-Khazraji (d.812.AH). The study explores the various hardships that Yemeni scholars encountered, which are a manifestation of Allah's law upon His Faithful Servants. These trials were not uniform; some scholars faced death, while others were imprisoned, tortured, had their wealth confiscated, or suffered from afflictions such as poverty and illness. The reasons leading to their trials varied, often stemming from slander, enmity, or cunning plots against them. Additionally, some faced repercussions due to their reluctance to taking up positions entrusted to them or their inclination to support one political faction over another. This study relies heavily on Al-Khazraji's book, which is considered a significant reference in the biographies of Yemeni figures across different social strata. Finally, the research concludes with a summary of key findings and recommendations. Keywords: troubles, scholars, murder, imprisonment, confiscation, illness.

أفرز مجتمع الخليج العربي زعامات سياسية معتمدة على قوة اقتصادية وكثرة أتباعها الذين يدينون لها بالتبعية الاقتصادية، وأنهم في قوتهم يوازون قوة الشيوخ والحكّام، وهؤلاء هم تجار اللؤلؤ والخيول وأصحاب السفن، لذا لا بد من الإشارة إلى هرموز ميناء كرمان, وهي مدينة كثيرة النخيل شديدة الحرارة، وأن هرموز العتيقة قد خربت من غارات التتر، وأن أهلها انتقلوا عنها إلى جزيرة في البحر تُسمّى جرون، وهي جزيرة قريبة إلى البر غرب هرموز العتيقة، وتقع قبالة عُمان

"Women's roles and professions in ancient societies as revealed through the inscriptions of Jabal Ikmah"

After studying ancient Arabic inscriptions, they have proven to be among the most important historical sources for understanding the past of the Arabian Peninsula’s inhabitants during pre-Islamic eras. These inscriptions document significant topics related to the history and culture of the region. Ancient Arabic inscriptions are a primary source for historians and researchers studying the history of Arabia, and they also serve as tangible evidence portraying various practices of ancient Arab society in all aspects of daily life, including religious beliefs, social customs, political affiliations, and trade relations. ‏Women had their share in these inscriptions, reflecting their social, religious, and political roles. One of the most notable sites mentioning the diverse roles of women is the Al-‘Ula region’s northwest site of Jabal Ikmah, located just 7 kilometers from the city center. These inscriptions reveal that women held various roles and responsibilities, comparable to men, sharing tasks, and offering sacrifices from their wealth, palm trees, camels, and agricultural lands to the main deity, Dhu Ghaybah. ‏The significance of this study lies in its focus on Lihyanite inscriptions that mention women’s roles in ancient Arab society, an area that has not received sufficient in-depth study. By examining their cultural content, it is certain that this research will contribute to a deeper understanding of the history of the Lihyanite society and Arab society in general. It will particularly shed light on the religious, social, political, and economic conditions prevailing during the first millennium BCE in the northwest of the Arabian Peninsula. ‏The scientific research addresses a set of inscriptions that mention women’s names and roles, especially from Jabal Ikmah in Al-‘Ula Governorate. To date, over 40 inscriptions have been discovered, with the study focusing on 12 of them. The primary aim is to analyze their cultural content to uncover the distinctive roles of women and the professions they held in ancient Arab society.

A Moroccan in Medina during the 12th century (AH/18th century AD) “The Nasiri Journey to the Illuminated Lands”

The scholars of Draa, like other scholars of Morocco, were interested in documenting the news of their pilgrimage, scientific or embassies. They took the same path as their predecessors in the past, followed their footsteps and followed their approach. We were able to count more than fifteen documented journeys between the tenth and thirteenth Hijri years/16-19 AD. This period is classified among the most prominent historical periods during which the Moroccan journey to the Hijaz region flourished. This was evident in what the Moroccan scholars who visited the region during that period wrote of various travel texts that included precise details about its social life and its political, cultural and economic conditions. Among the recorded journeys about a pilgrimage from Zawiya Tamgrout in Morocco to the Hijaz is the journey of Sheikh Ahmed bin Sheikh Mohammed bin Nasser Al-Dar’i, Abu Al-Abbas, known as the Caliph (1121 AH/1709 AD). It is a journey worthy of study and investigation, as it contains scientific information, historical information, and socio-economic events. To achieve this purpose, I divided the subject into four main points: 1- The author of the journey 2- The content of the journey. 3- Description of Medina and its conditions. 4- Conclusion and conclusions.
