Abstract
Al- Haair Al- Husainy is regarded as the spot on which one of
the great historical tragedies took place . It has many names as
the history tells us . It has been called in number of names without
any priority or distinction to any one of them at all .these names
are Al- Ghadhiriyya ,Ninevah , Mariya , Ammoriya , Nawawees ,
Shattul – Arab , Shatiul – Forat , Al- Taff , Tafful- Forat , Al- Haair ,
Al- Hary , Mashhadul- Husain and Karbala .
The last name (Karbala) has been just one of the various
names .By the time, the last nomination widely prevailed and
speedily became accepted by all . It has become the sole heir
of it the province name, and this area is no longer known by the
other names but by this name which is used all over the province
and Karbala is considered its center .
No other place all over the world , as it seems , has got such
number of names like Karbala , which had variety of names for
one certain area . and this could be attributed to the fact that this
way of terming a territory or a city by number of names is familiarly
used in the medieval orient and there could be no rejection .
these papers contain , a documentation of mentioning Karbala
in the linguistic and geographical heritage references as well as
in some historical heritage references in brief . The scientific
research may require resort to some other Arabic references
which mentioned Karbala either , in its present name or in its
other names . |
