Abstract:

This paper deals with the tribal settlement and the land tenure in Palestine and Al-Urdun from the house of Muslim conquests until the house of the Crusades. Before the rise of Islam, some Arab tribes began to immigrate to the Palestinian territory. But the nature of Caliph Umar's tax and land tenure arrangements began to become apparent with the Muslim conquests. It was attached a particular importance to agricultural settlement and land reclamation in the Umayyad period. The Umayyad royal states, in general, passed into the hands of the Abbasids. However, due to the revolts that broke out in rural areas, the Abbasids were not able to administer these lands as Umayyads as well
