Al Khamsa
"Al Khamsa" (الخمسة) is a designation applied to specific desert-bred bloodlines of the Arabian horse considered particularly "pure" by Arabian horse breeding, horse breeders, who sometimes also describe such lines by use of the Arabic word ''asil'', meaning "pure". It also refers to a mythical origin story of the breed. ''Al Khamsa'' roughly translates as 'The Five'. It refers to a mythical group of foundation bloodstock, foundation mares that were the legendary founders of the Arabian breed. While some breeders claim these mares really existed, there is no objective, historical way to verify such a claim. The modern definition of an Arabian as ''Al Khamsa'' usually refers to a horse that can be verified in every line of its pedigree to trace to specific named desert-bred Arabians with documentation that their breeding was attested to by a Bedouin seller who had sworn a formal oath (generally invoking Allah) that the animal was ''asil (other), asil'' or pure of ...

Al Khamsa (organization)
Al Khamsa is a nonprofit organization in the United States that supports the preservation breeding of certain strains of purebred Arabian horses, specifically lines tracing exclusively to those pedigrees providing a detailed chain of evidence to prove they were bred by the Bedouin of the Arabian Peninsula. The name derives from the Al Khamsa ("the five") Arabian mares, the name applied to the legendary five favorite horses of Mohammed. The particular purpose of Al Khamsa is to "preserve the original Bedouin Arabian horse in pure bloodlines in North America." "Since 1976, Al Khamsa, Inc. has engendered wide-ranging prototypes for constructive, organized preservationist activities. Of paramount importance has been the development of guidelines for identifying, classifying, and studying desertbred Arab horses, all of which have been presented in an Al Khamsa series of books and magazines." Some of the pure Arabians in the United States trace their ancestry in whole or part to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Khamseh
The Khamseh () is a tribal confederation in the province of Fars in southwestern Iran. It consists of five tribes, hence its name ''Khamseh'', "''the five''". The tribes are partly nomadic, Some are Persian speaking Basseri, some are Arabic speaking Arabs, and some are Azerbaijani speaking Turks (Inallu, Baharlu and Nafar). The history of the Khamseh confederation of tribes starts in 1861–1862 when Naser al-Din Shah Qajar created the Khamseh Tribal Confederation. He combined five existing nomadic tribes, the Arab, Nafar, Baharlu, Inalu, and the Basseri and placed them under the control of the Qavam ol-Molk family. The pattern of forcibly uniting tribes was not a new idea, as the Safavid Shahs previously created homogenous Qizilbash confederations to temper the increasing strength of the Qashqai, who were gaining so much power. The Khamseh tribes were a mixture of Persians, Turks, and Arabs. Tribes * Basseri (Persian) * Inallu (Azerbaijani – Turkic) * Baharlu (Azerbaijani ...

Khamsa Of Nizami
The ''Khamsa'' (, 'Quintet' or 'Quinary', from Arabic) or ''Panj Ganj'' (, 'Five Treasures') is the main and best known work of Nizami Ganjavi. Description The ''Khamsa'' is in five long narrative poems: * '' Makhzan-ol-Asrâr'' (, 'The Treasury or Storehouse of Mysteries'CHARLES-HENRI DE FOUCHÉCOUR, "IRAN:Classical Persian Literature" in ''Encyclopædia Iranica''), 1163 (some date it 1176) * ''Khosrow o Shirin'' (, 'Khosrow and Shirin'), 1177–1180 * ''Leyli o Majnun'' (, ' Layla and Majnun'), 1192 * '' Eskandar-Nâmeh'' (, 'The Book of Alexander'), 1194 or 1196–1202 * '' Haft Peykar'' (, 'The Seven Beauties'), 1197 The first of these poems, '' Makhzan-ol-Asrâr'', was influenced by Sanai's (d. 1131) monumental ''Garden of Truth''. The four other poems are medieval romances. Khosrow and Shirin, Bahram-e Gur, and Alexander the Great, who all have episodes devoted to them in Ferdowsi's ''Shahnameh'', appear again here at the center of three of four of Nezami's narrative poe ...

Nizami Ganjavi
Nizami Ganjavi (; c. 1141 – 1209), Nizami Ganje'i, Nizami, or Nezāmi, whose formal name was Jamal ad-Dīn Abū Muḥammad Ilyās ibn-Yūsuf ibn-Zakkī,Mo'in, Muhammad(2006), "Tahlil-i Haft Paykar-i Nezami", Tehran.: p. 2: Some commentators have mentioned his name as “Ilyas the son of Yusuf the son of Zakki the son of Mua’yyad” while others have mentioned that Mu’ayyad is a title for Zakki. Mohammad Moin, rejects the first interpretation claiming that if it were to mean 'Zakki son of Muayyad' it should have been read as 'Zakki i Muayyad' where izafe (-i-) shows the son-parent relationship but here it is 'Zakki Muayyad' and Zakki ends in silence/stop and there is no izafe (-i-). Some may argue that izafe is dropped due to meter constraints but dropping parenthood izafe is very strange and rare. So it is possible that Muayyad was a sobriquet for Zaki or part of his name (like Muayyad al-Din Zaki). This is supported by the fact that later biographers also state Yusuf was ...

Khamsa Of Hatefi
Abd-Allah Hatefi, commonly known as Hatefi (also spelled Hatifi; ; 1454 – 1521) was a Persian poet and nephew of the distinguished poet Jami (died 1492). Life Hatefi was born in 1454 in Khar Gerd, a village that formed a district of the town Torbat-e Jam, which was in turn a dependency of the Khwarezmian city of Herat. Jami's mother was a sister of the distinguished poet Jami (died 1492). Unlike his Sunni uncle, Hatefi was a Twelver Shi'a.

Hatefi became part of the literary elite after prevailing in a test set up by Jami. In the late 15th century, Hatefi travelled alongside fellow poet Amir Homayun Esfaraini to Iranian Azerbaijan and Lower Mesopotamia. Between 1485 and 1490, Hatefi stayed at the court of the Aq Qoyunlu ruler Ya'qub Beg () in Tabriz in northwestern Iran. Because he was a Shi'a, Hatefi was respected by the Safavid emper ...

Karabakh ( ; ) is a geographic region in southwestern Azerbaijan and eastern Armenia, extending from the highlands of the Lesser Caucasus down to the lowlands between the rivers Kura and Aras. It is divided into three regions: Highland Karabakh, Lowland Karabakh (the steppes between the Kura and Aras rivers), and the eastern slopes of the Zangezur Mountains (roughly Syunik and Kalbajar–Lachin).

Etymology The name , transliterated from the Russian version of the word , derives from the Azerbaijani , which is generally believed to be a compound of the Turkic word ''kara'' (black) and the Iranian word ''bagh'' (garden), literally meaning "black garden." The Iranian Azerbaijanis, Iranian-Azerbaijani historian Ahmad Kasravi also speaks of the translation of ''kara'' as "large" and not "black." The ''kara'' prefix has also been used f ...
