Abstract EN

This study is about the Palestinian village ’’Jamaeil”, its location and borders and water sources.

It handles the control of the Crusaders over it in 492 AH / 1099 AD, The profession of the residents of the village was mainly farming .During that period, The village then became the property of the feudal Lord of Nablus ,after the fall of the city.

According to the feudal Crusader system, the agricultural land, the peasants who worked in it, as well as the herds of cattle were all the property of the feudal lord.

The peasants used to work in the land in return for a portion of the Crop, and offer a quarter or one third of the Crop to the lord, in addition to the extra tax that was imposed on them by the lord three times a year.

The villagers resisted this policy through civil disobedience instigated by scientists and scholars like sheikh Ahmad Bin Qudamah.

The Crusaders were alert to this activity of these scholars of Jamaeil and tried to arrest them, but they failed because these scholars were able to migrate to Damascus.

They faced substantial hard ships and difficulties.

While in Damascus, they furthered and mastered their knowledge and contributed to enriching the cultural movement in the Muslim world, as well as their participation in liberating Palestine and the neighbor hoods from the grip of the Crusaders.
