HejazTemplate:Efn is a historical region of the Arabian Peninsula that includes the majority of the western region of Saudi Arabia, covering the cities of Mecca, Medina, Jeddah, Tabuk, Yanbu, Taif and Al-Bahah. It is thus known as the "Western Province",<ref name="Mackey">Mackey, p. 101. "The Western Province, or the Hejaz[...]"</ref> and it is bordered in the west by the Red Sea, in the north by Jordan, in the east by the Najd, and in the south by Yemen.<ref name="MWGD2001">Template:Cite book</ref> Its largest city is Jeddah, which is the second-largest city in Saudi Arabia, with Mecca and Medina, respectively, being the third- and fourth-largest cities in the country.<ref name="Leatherdale1983">Template:Cite book</ref>

As the location of the holy cities of Mecca<ref name="qref|48|22-29|b=y">Template:Qref</ref> and Medina,<ref name="qref|9|25-129|b=y">Template:Qref</ref><ref name="qref|33|09-73|b=y">Template:Qref</ref><ref name="qref|63|1-11|b=y">Template:Qref</ref> respectively the first and second holiest sites in Islam, the Hejaz is significant in the Arabo-Islamic historical and political landscape. This region is the most populated in Saudi Arabia,<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and Arabic is the predominant language, as in the rest of Saudi Arabia, with Hejazi Arabic being the most widely spoken dialect here. Some Hejazis are of ethnically diverse origins,<ref name="Leatherdale1983"/> although the vast majority are of Arab origin.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

According to Islamic tradition, this region is the birthplace of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, who was born in Mecca, which was founded by his ancestors Abraham, Ishmael, and Hagar.<ref name="Lings1983">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="Glasse1991">Template:Cite encyclopedia</ref> The area became part of his empire through the early Muslim conquests, and it formed part of successive caliphates, first the Rashidun Caliphate, followed by the Umayyad Caliphate, and finally the Abbasid Caliphate. The Ottoman Empire held partial control over the area; after its dissolution, an independent Kingdom of Hejaz existed briefly in 1925 before being conquered by the neighbouring Sultanate of Nejd, creating the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd.<ref>Template:Citation (Pbk. ed.)</ref> In September 1932, the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd joined the Saudi dominions of Al-Hasa and Qatif, creating the unified Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.<ref>Al-Rasheed, M.

EtymologyEdit

The name of the region is derived from a verb ḥajaza ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}), from the Arabic root ḥ-j-z ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}), meaning "to separate",<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> and it is so called as it separates the land of the Najd in the east from the land of Tihāmah in the west.

Prehistoric and ancient timesEdit

Template:Multiple image

One or possibly two megalithic dolmen have been found in Hejaz.<ref name="Scheltema2008">Template:Cite book</ref>

The Hejaz includes both the Mahd adh-Dhahab ("Cradle of the Gold") (Template:Coord) and a water source, now dried out, that used to flow Template:Convert north east to the Persian Gulf via the Wādi Al-Rummah and Wādi Al-Bātin system. Archaeological research led by of Boston University and the University of Qassim indicates that the river system was active in 2500–3000 BCE.<ref name=Sullivan2014>Template:Cite news</ref>

According to Al-Masudi the northern part of Hejaz was a dependency of ancient Israel,<ref>Ibn Khaldun, "Kitāb al-ʿIbar wa-Dīwān al-Mubtadaʾ wa-l-Khabar", Dar Al-Fikr publication. Beirut. 1988. volume 2 page 342</ref> and according to Butrus al-Bustani the Jews in Hejaz established a sovereign state.<ref>al-Bustani, Butrus. "Daerat Al-Maaref". Dar Al-Marifa Publication. Beirut. volume 11 page 672</ref> The German orientalist Ferdinand Wüstenfeld believed that the Jews established a state in northern Hejaz.<ref>Wolfensohn, Israel. "Tarikh Al-Yahood Fi Belad Al-Arab".

Era of Abraham and IshmaelEdit

Template:See also

According to Arab and Islamic sources, the civilization of Mecca started after Ibrāhīm (Abraham) brought his son Ismāʿīl (Ishmael) and wife Hājar (Hagar) here, for the latter two to stay. The Adnanites were a tribal confederation of the Ishmaelite Arabs, who trace their lineage back to Ishmael son of the Islamic prophet and patriarch Abraham and his wife Hagar through Adnan, who originate from the Hejaz.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Some people from the Yemeni tribe of Jurhum settled with them, and Isma'il reportedly married two women, one after divorcing another, at least one of them from this tribe, and helped his father to construct or re-construct the Ka'bah,<ref name="qref|2|127|t=y|b=y">Template:Qref</ref><ref name="qref|3|96|t=y|b=y">Template:Qref</ref><ref name="qref|22|25-37|b=y">Template:Qref</ref> which would have social, religious, political and historical implications for the site and region.<ref name="Lings1983"/><ref name="Glasse1991"/>

For example, in Arab or Islamic belief, the tribe of Quraysh would descend from Isma'il ibn Ibrahim, be based in the vicinity of the Ka'bah,<ref name="qref|106|1-4|b=y">Template:Qref</ref> and include Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul-Muttalib ibn Hashim ibn Abd Manaf. From the Period of Jāhiliyyah ('Ignorance') to the days of Muhammad, the often-warring Arab tribes would cease their hostilities during the time of Pilgrimage, and go on pilgrimage to Mecca, as inspired by Ibrahim.<ref name="qref|22|25-37|b=y"/> It was during such an occasion that Muhammad met some Madanis who would allow him to migrate to Medina, to escape persecution by his opponents in Mecca.<ref name="Ishaq">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="armstrong">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="Firestone1990">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name=Tabari1987>Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="Mubarakpuri, The Sealed Nectar">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="Haykal 1976">Template:Citation</ref>

Due to the presence of the two holy cities in the Hejaz, the region was ruled by numerous empires. The Hejaz was at the center of the Rashidun Caliphate, in particular whilst its capital was Medina from 632 to 656 ACE. The region was then under the control of regional powers, such as Egypt and the Ottoman Empire, throughout much of its later history. After the Ottomans lost control of it, Hejaz became an independent state.

Brief independenceEdit

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}}

After the end of the Ottoman suzerainty and control in Arabia, in 1916, Hussein bin Ali became the leader of an independent State of Hejaz.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> In 1924, Ali bin Hussein succeeded as the King of Hejaz. Then Ibn Saud succeeded Hussein as the King of Hejaz and Nejd. Ibn Saud ruled the two as separate units, known as the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd from 1926 to 1932.

CultureEdit

ReligionEdit

Template:See also

The cultural setting of Hejaz is greatly influenced by that of Islam, especially as it contains its 2 holiest cities, Mecca and Medina. Moreover, the Quran is considered the constitution of Saudi Arabia, and the Sharia is the main legal source. In Saudi Arabia, Islam is not just adhered politically by the government but also it has a great influence on the people's culture and everyday life.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The society is in general deeply religious, conservative, traditional, and family-oriented. Many attitudes and traditions are centuries-old, derived from Arab civilization and Islamic heritage.

CuisineEdit

Hejazi cuisine has mostly Arabian dishes like the rest of Saudi Arabia, Some dishes are native to the Hejaz, like Saleeg.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Other Dishes were imported from other cultures through Saudis of different origins, like Mantu ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}), Yaghmush ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}) and Ruz Bukhāri ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}) from Central Asia, Burēk ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}) and Šurēk {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} and Kabab almīru ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}) from Turkey and the Balkans, Mandi ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}) and Mutabbag ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}) from Yemen, Biryāni {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} and Kābli ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}) rice dishes from South Asia. Grilled meat dishes such as shawarma and kebab are well-known in Hejaz. The Hejazi dishes are known for their spice.

GeographyEdit

Template:See also

The region is located along the Red Sea Rift. It is also known for its darker, more volcanic sand. Depending on the previous definition, the Hejaz includes some of the mountains of the Sarat range, which topographically separate the Najd from Tehamah. Bdellium plants are also abundant in the Hejaz. Saudi Arabia, and in particular the Hejaz, is home to more than 2000 dormant volcanoes.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Lava fields in the Hejaz, known locally by their Arabic name of ḥarrāt ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, singular: ḥarrah ({{#invoke:Lang|lang}})), form one of Earth's largest alkali basalt regions, covering some Template:Cvt, an area greater than the state of Missouri.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
