السيول و آثارها على مدينة مكة المكرمة من صدر الإسلام إلى نهاية العصر العباسي الثاني (1-656 ه 622-1258 م)‎

Abstract EN

This paper aims to study the floods and their effects on the city of Makka in the period from the beginning of Islam until the end of the second Abbasid era (1-656 H | 622-1258 G), indicating the reasons and number of occurrences, and their resulting effects.

On the one hand, this study finds that the holy city of Makka suffered from about twenty-five floods during that period of time, which led to the death of large numbers of people, and great damage to some facilities and buildings.

On the other hand, the study surveys the role of Islamic countries and the general public in the face of these floods, and in reducing their risks.

But those actions and procedures, seemingly, were not enough to stop those floods, or prevent harm, because those actions required constant maintenance due to the steepness of the mountains surrounding the city of Makka.
