Administrative conditions in Jabal Amel during the Ottoman era (1888-1914)

Abstract

It is evident from this research; It is a result of the Ottoman administrative divisions through which Jabal Amel became administratively affiliated to the Beirut state, and after the Nabatiyeh District was established; Jabal Amel became of relative importance in the eyes of the authorities, especially when Rida al-Sulh was appointed there, so Jabal Amel became a center for some political activities. With the issuance of some reform laws by the Ottoman Empire, such as Sharif Humayun’s handwriting of 1856, and the Knowledge Law of 1869, this helped some religions and sects in Jabal Amel expand the establishment of reform institutions.
