Ayasrah
Ayasrah (/eɪæsrɑː/ AYA-s-rah; Arabic: عياصرة), is a noble tribe living in Jordan, originally from the Arabian Peninsula. Their lineage back to the Quraysh, they are of the Hashemite descendants of the Prophet Muhammad.[1][2] They lived in Jordan before about 400 years in a mountain town called Sakib located to the west of the city of Jerash.[3][4]
“Some of their famous men were: Ahmed Alaysarani and Raja Alayasarani during Ottoman rule. Nowadays one of their famous men called Abdullah Mustafa Ayasrah, and he was a general in Jordan Army”[5]
Etymology
They took the name of the village Aysra, which formed the northern part of the old Sakib.[6]
History
The Ayasrah in that time played a main rule in the area specially when the name of Jerash was abandoning for Sakib.[7][8].
Prince Ali was able to defeat him so he camped in Sakib and stayed there. However, the Levant Hafiz Pasha wrote to the minister Nassouh Pasha that Fakhr al-Din besieged Damascus, then Nassouh Pasha was instructed to strip the face of a major campaign to Fakhr al-Din, making his son, Prince Ali travel to support his father.[9]
Ayasrah and inhabitants of other ancient villages in Jerash region were among the founders of the modern city of Jerash in the early nineteenth century,[10]. A strong earthquake in 747 AD destroyed large parts of Jerash, while subsequent earthquakes along with the wars and turmoil contributed to additional destruction. Its destruction and ruins remained buried in the soil for hundreds of years until they were discovered by German Orientalist Ulrich Jasper Seetzen in 1806 AD[11] to begin excavation and to return life to rise to the current Jerash. Then followed 70 years after by the community of Muslims, Circassians, who emigrated to Jordan from the land of the Caucasus in 1878 AD after the Ottoman-Russian war. And a large community of people of Syria at the beginning of the twentieth century.
The Ayasrah -as well as some tribes in Ajlun and Jerash- received refugees from the Christians from all the Levant and they provided protection of Christians in East Jordan at that time, was the spark that sedition began in 1860 and continued for many years and completed the role of Prince Abdel Khader Aljazaery, and they declared at that time that any assault or abuse that would happen to any Christian, that would be considered an attack on the tribe. After that Christian families lived in Sakib side-by-side with Muslims and they had been working in crafts needed by the farmers for a certain amount of grain; the Christians belong to the Greek Orthodox Church.[12][13][14]
