Although the governorate has received support from the international community, government of Yemen and the Executive Council in Sa’adah much more is needed to support the affected populations to regain and strengthen their innate resilience. In addition there are currently there are more than 300,000 people displaced from Sa’adah to other locations inside Yemen who wish to return home. Especially in a context of limited financial resources accurate information is needed in order to guide and target support interventions. Many assessments have been undertaken and valuable information is available but until this desk study was undertaken it had been scattered and inaccessible to stakeholders. Affected populations have reached a point of assessment fatigue having been asked the same questions by different organisations over time with no tangible benefit as a result. UNDP has commissioned this desk-study in order support of the Humanitarian and Development community, (governmental and none-governmental, national and international) in Sa’adah. The aim is to clarify what information is available and where information gaps lie in order to strategically plan sustainable and well targeted interventions. Page 5 of 153 Executive Summary: Studies confirm that in the last eleven years more than 850,000 persons have been affected by the conflicts in Sa’dah and neighbouring areas. Hundreds of people who lost their lives and tens of thousands who were displaced . The conflicts in Sa’adah have compounded the effects of economic decline of Yemen and the general instability in the region on the population there. The unemployment rate continues to rise and has reached 40% which further reduces the ability of families and individuals to maintain there livelihoods at the pre-war satndards in a dignified manner. The poverty rate is around 30% in Sa’dah’s urban centres, 25% in rural areas1 and rises up to 35% among Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). An estimated 49% of pregnant women in displacement camps are at risk of malnutrition. 40% of the population is of the age group (15-40), while 80% of the labour force works in agriculture. Almost 70 percent of people were food-insecure, compared with fewer than 10 percent in Al Mahra in the east. Rural areas are worst affected. Destruction of infrastructure and property has been extensive and includes:2313 farms , 12,521 houses, 245 economic enterprises, 172 schools, 23 health centres, 10 police stations, 4 courts, 4 public firms, 3 guidance centres, 459 mosques and 853 other firms.

  • The Prophet's Family
    The Prophet’s Family The Prophet’s Family Line No 1 – Adam to the Banu Khuza’ah (Based on material gathered from Islamic and Biblical sources) by Sr. Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood. The family line of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is one of the most cherished in history. It is extremely well-known from Muhammad to Adnan, but there are variants from Adnan to Isma’il. From Isma’il back to Adam, the line corresponds exactly to the names of the descendants of Adam as given in the Old Testament of the Bible. The generally accepted line of Muhammad goes like this: Muhammad b. Abdullah b. Shaybah (Abdu’l Muttalib b. Amr (Hashim) b. Mughirah (Abdu’l Manaf) b. Zayd (Qusayy) b. Kilab b. Murrah b. Ka’b b.

Arabs and Jews both descended from the same Patriarch Page 1 of 56 The Prophet’s Family It is commonplace for people to think of the Jews and the Arabs as completely different peoples, and a study of the Old Testament reveals an ongoing conflict between the Banu Isra’il and their enemies on both sides of the river Jordan (which sadly continues into this 21st century!).

    The Life of the Noble Prophet. Revised Edition. SSCG Workbook Series 1.2 THM Sadaqa Group, Inc. Your Standard Salafi Curriculum Guide to Online Salafi Homeschool The life of The Noble Prophet ―Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against the disbelievers, and merciful amongst themselves. You see them bowing, prostrating, seeking bounty from Allah and (His) good pleasure. The mark of them is on their faces from the traces of their prostrations. This is their description in the Torah. But their description in the Injeel is like the sown seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, it then becomes thick, and it stands straight on its stem delighting the sowers – that He may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous good deeds, among them forgiveness and a mighty reward.‖ (Al-Fatah: 29) First we would like to glorify, praise, and thank Allah subhana wa ta‘ala that he has enabled us to be a part of this tremendous work of explaining to our children who our beloved Prophet Muhammad is and we would like to testify that (He) is the only true god worthy of worship and that we bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. We ask that Allah send peace, blessings and mercy upon the Prophet, his family, the companions, the scholars, and students of knowledge, educators and parents who are striving to practice this deen upon the true path of As-Salafis Salih until the last day, ameen.

  • Location of the Arabs
    LOCATION OF THE ARABS: Linguistically, the word “Arab” means deserts and waste barren land well-nigh waterless and treeless. Ever since the dawn of history, the Arabian Peninsula and its people have been called as such. The Arabian Peninsula is enclosed in the west by the Red Sea and Sinai, in the east by the Arabian Gulf, in the south by the Arabian Sea, which is an extension of the Indian Ocean, and in the north by old Syria and part of Iraq. The area is estimated between a million and a million and a quarter square miles. Thanks to its geographical position, the peninsula has always maintained great importance.. Considering its internal setting, it is mostly deserts and sandy places, which has rendered it inaccessible to foreigners and invaders, and allowed its people complete liberty and independence through the ages, despite the presence of two neighbouring great empires. Its external setting, on the other hand, caused it to be the centre of the old world and provided it with sea and land links with most nations at the time. Thanks to this strategic position the Arabian Peninsula had become the centre for trade, culture, religion and art. ARAB TRIBES: Arab kinfolks have been divided according to lineage into three groups: Perishing Arabs: The ancient Arabs, of whose history little is known, and of whom were ‘Ad, Thamûd, Tasam, Jadis, Emlaq, and others. Pure Arabs: Who originated from the progeny of Ya‘rub bin Yashjub bin Qahtan. They were also called Qahtanian Arabs. Arabized Arabs: Who originated from the progeny of Ishmael.

  • Evaluating the Resonance of Official Islam in Oman, Jordan, and Morocco
    religions Article Evaluating the Resonance of Official Islam in Oman, Jordan, and Morocco Annelle Sheline Middle East Program, The Quincy Institute, Washington, DC 20006, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Acts of political violence carried out by Muslim individuals have generated international support for governments that espouse so-called “moderate Islam” as a means of preventing terrorism. Governments also face domestic skepticism about moderate Islam, especially if the alteration of official Islam is seen as resulting from external pressure. By evaluating the views of individuals that disseminate the state’s preferred interpretation of Islam—members of the religious and educational bureaucracy—this research assesses the variation in the resonance of official Islam in three differ- ent Arab monarchies: Oman, Jordan, and Morocco. The evidence suggests that if official Islam is consistent with earlier content and directed internally as well as externally, it is likely to resonate. Resonance was highest in Oman, as religious messaging about toleration was both consistent over time and directed internally, and lowest in Jordan, where the content shifted and foreign content differed from domestic. In Morocco, messages about toleration were relatively consistent, although the state’s emphasis on building a reputation for toleration somewhat undermined its domestic credibility. The findings have implications for understanding states’ ability to shift their populations’ views on religion, as well as providing greater nuance for interpreting the capacity of state-sponsored rhetoric to prevent violence. Keywords: official Islam; resonance; Oman; Jordan; Morocco Citation: Sheline, Annelle. 2021. Evaluating the Resonance of Official Islam in Oman, Jordan, and Morocco. 1.

  • Pre-Islamic Arabia 1 Pre-Islamic Arabia
    Pre-Islamic Arabia 1 Pre-Islamic Arabia Pre-Islamic Arabia refers to the Arabic civilization which existed in the Arabian Plate before the rise of Islam in the 630s. The study of Pre-Islamic Arabia is important to Islamic studies as it provides the context for the development of Islam. Studies The scientific studies of Pre-Islamic Arabs starts with the Arabists of the early 19th century when they managed to decipher epigraphic Old South Arabian (10th century BCE), Ancient North Arabian (6th century BCE) and other writings of pre-Islamic Arabia, so it is no longer limited to the written traditions which are not local due to the lack of surviving Arab historians Nabataean trade routes in Pre-Islamic Arabia accounts of that era, so it is compensated by existing material consists primarily of written sources from other traditions (such as Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, etc.) so it was not known in great detail; From the 3rd century CE, Arabian history becomes more tangible with the rise of the Himyarite Kingdom, and with the appearance of the Qahtanites in the Levant and the gradual assimilation of the Nabataeans by the Qahtanites in the early centuries CE, a pattern of expansion exceeded in the explosive Muslim conquests of the 7th century. So sources of history includes archaeological evidence, foreign accounts and oral traditions later recorded by Islamic scholars especially pre-Islamic poems and al-hadith plus a number of ancient Arab documents that survived to the medieval times and portions of them were cited or recorded. Archaeological exploration in the Arabian Peninsula has been sparse but fruitful, many ancient sites were identified by modern excavations.

    THE SALIENCE OF SECTARIANISM: MAKING SECT STICK IN SYRIA AND IRAQ A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Arab Studies By Craig McCrea Browne, B.A. Washington, DC April 13, 2015 Copyright 2015 by Craig McCrea Browne All Rights Reserved ii THE SALIENCE OF SECTARIANISM: MAKING SECT STICK IN SYRIA AND IRAQ Craig McCrea Browne, BA Thesis Advisor: Joseph Sassoon, Ph.D. Thesis Reader: Yonatan Morse, Ph.D. ABSTRACT How did a call for peaceful protests citing political and socio-economic grievances come to be overshadowed by brutal sectarian violence? This thesis uses process tracing to argue that the increased sectarianization of the Syrian conflict was due to the increased dominance of opposition organizations that were willing to compete with the regime’s sectarian discourse and behavior. These organizations came from abroad and were supported from abroad. In other words, the regime set the scene and the dominant opposition groups wrote the story. While sectarian identities existed in Syria and Iraq before their respective conflicts, these social categories waxed and waned depending on context. Once conflict broke out, governing authorities were quick to use sectarian tactics. Though both governments faced resistance early on, it took some time for open conflict to break out. When this happened, well-organized, well-trained, and well-financed organizations flooded both countries and met the authorities head-on in struggles that became increasingly sectarian. As such, the increased sectarianization of the conflicts in Syria and Iraq is due to the organizations inclined towards sectarianism becoming militarily dominant amongst opposition to the already sectarianizing authorities.
