Study Notes
Early Imamate of Oman
- Al-Julanda bin Masud, the grandson of King Jaifar, was the first Imam of Oman
- He ruled for two years and one month from 132 to 134 AH (749 to 751 AD).
- His reign marked the start of Oman's independence from the Umayyad and Abbasid states
- Al-Julanda bin Masud was killed in battle defending Oman against the Abbasid invasion, led by Commander Khazim bin Khuzaymah in 134 AH (751 AD)
- After Al-Julanda’s death, the first period of Imamate ended and Oman was ruled by others, who were connected to the Abbasid State.
- The second period of Imamate began in 177 AH, after 44 years, with the election of a new Imam
- The second period lasted for 100 years.
- Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Yahmady - elected as Imam in 177 AH, ruled for 2 years (177-179 AH).
Notable Imams
- Al Warith bin Ka’ab Al-Kharusi - the first Imam from Bani Kharus, governed for 13 years from 179 to 192 AH. - He famously led the defense against an Abbasid army of 6,000 soldiers who attempted to occupy Oman.
- Ghassan bin Abdullah Al Yahmady - ruled from 192 to 207 AH. - Known for his justice and power in facing external invaders.
- Abdul Malik bin Humaid Al Alawi - ruled from 207 to 226 AH. - Followed the way of truth, justice, and integrity.
- Al Muhana bin Jefar Al Yahmadi - ruled for 11 years, from 226 to 237 AH. - Known as “Thu Al Nab” due to a long tooth (fang) that appeared on his forehead when angry. - Led Oman to a level of power and glory not seen before, possessing a large fleet of 300 warships and thousands of land forces.
- Al Salt Bin Malik Al Kharusi - held Imamate for 35 years, from 237 to 272 AH. - Led a successful campaign to rescue Socotra Island from invaders. - Ordered his army to strictly abide by the Islamic laws of war, such as not killing unarmed people and not cutting down trees. - Retired from Imamate due to disagreements with some scholars causing a civil war, leading to the end of the Early Imamate.
Conflict and Division
- The disagreement with Imam Al-Salt Bin Malik created two schools of thought: Rustaqiyah and Nizwaniyah.
- Rustaqiyah School: Those who considered Musa ibn Musa Al Azkawi’s group as renegades
- Nizwaniyah School: Those who urged for moderation, asking for unity and to leave the past behind.
- Following the end of the Early Imamate, multiple Imams ruled for short periods, leading to ongoing political and geographical divisions.
- The Portuguese occupation of strategic coastal regions, including Muscat in 1507 AD, marked a time of great political disorder for Oman.
