قيام إمارة بني قتادة في مكة وموقف الخلافة العباسية منها (598-648ه-1200-1250م)‎

Abstract EN

The critical political conditions had an impact on all the provinces of the Islamic Arab state during the second Abbasid period, especially in the Arabian peninsula including Hejaz.

Some political entities came into existence.

Those princes succeeded in annexing some of them and made them independent.

Therefore, the Islamic Arab state lost its status and kept its name only, a matter which was represented in its becoming a satellite to the Abbasid caliphate through mentioning the caliph's name and engraving his name on the coin.

Hejaz and Mecca were ruled by the honorable members of the Alawī family descending from Hasan an Hussein.

Even so, the Abbasid caliphs greatly intervened in the conflicts that happened between these dignified members in favour of a particular side in order to make Hejaz a vassal to the Abbasid caliphate in Baghdad.

Bani Qutada family was one of the most important families which governed Mecca for a half a century during which they waged conflicts with Ayyubians in Egypt and Yemen.

They attempted to submit them to their rule and conflicts happened among their families, which speeded the end of the family in 648 A.H./ 1250 A.D .

which was followed by another family of Alawi Alhashimi origin
