Mawali (tribe)
Mawali () is an Arab tribe based in northwestern and central Syria, mainly in the regions of Idlib and Hama. The tribe's origins are obscure, but by the 16th century it combined semi-nomadic sheepherders and camel-raising nomads of different origins. At that time, their leading family was the Al Fadl (also called Al Hayar), whose chiefs had been formally recognized as the '' amir al-arab'' (commander of the Bedouin) of the Syrian steppe since the Ayyubid period in the 13th century. The Ottomans, who conquered Syria in 1516, initially sought to force the tribe's submission, but by 1574 recognized the Mawali's emirs in this office, after which the Al Hayar became known as the Al Abu Risha (possessors of the plume). The Mawali continued to be the dominant tribe of the Syrian steppe until the late 18th century when they were driven out by the Hassana, newcomers belonging to the great Anaza confederation of Arabia. The Mawali thereafter took abode in the Jabal Zawiya and Jabal al-A' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A son is a male offspring; a boy or a man in relation to his parents. The female counterpart is a daughter. From a biological perspective, a son constitutes a first degree relative. Social issues In pre-industrial societies and some current countries with agriculture-based economies, a higher value was, and still is, assigned to sons rather than daughters, giving males higher social status, because males were physically stronger, and could perform farming tasks more effectively. In China, a one-child policy was in effect until 2015 in order to address rapid population growth. Official birth records showed a rise in the level of male births since the policy was brought into law. This was attributed to a number of factors, including the illegal practice of sex-selective abortion and widespread under-reporting of female births. In patrilineal societies, sons will customarily inherit an estate before daughters. In some cultures, the eldest son has special privileges. For examp ...
