| This study aims to shed light on the administrative system in Iraq and its development since ancient times to the present time. The dearth of information and the lack of what has been written on the specialty that deals with the subject of the study, the most prominent was the problem faced search. The lack of administrative divisions are clear and agreed upon, especially in times past. The research, as far as Asaftna its sources, and to meet the need of the Arab library and Iraqi ones, in particular, to fill some of the shortfall. In the past, countries were divided into regions, and the province Arabic word collected provinces. The province was named because he Mgulwm of land that Taatakhmh any lump them. In other words, he was part of the land. On what was said Hamza bin Hassan Isfahani he Rustaq language Levant and the island's population, they swear by the Kingdom, and divides the people of Yemen Balmkhalev, and others Balchor and Tsasaj and the like. Valmekdsa (380 e), for example, the Department of Islamic Arab state administratively into 14 provinces, according to the need of the administrative state. In this he says: "Aferdna provinces and foreigners for Arabs provinces and then we decided Core each province and we set up Amassarha and reminded Qsbadtha and arranged its cities and Ajnadha after Mthelnaha and decreed its borders, plans and liberated the known methods ...". And makes Astchri (346 AH) both of the Arab countries, Egypt and Morocco and the Sea of the Romans and the Caspian Sea regions stand-alone, because each of them natural conditions distinguish them from others. Thus the Astchri does not accept the administrative division, which is called by the geographical conditions, but makes the region and the unit does not Adziha unless Dzitha nature. In the Levant Arabs retained the administrative division that prevailed VPL Islamic conquest, where its divisions fired at the administrative name (armies) were, against four became five in the Umayyad period, and continued this division to the Abbasid era. He understood from the foregoing that the kingdom is divided into several Astanat or Core or regions, and is divided into several Alastan Rsatiq (the district), and Rustaq to Ttsasaj (a round). And each had Korh Reed (center) and the towns and villages connected to each city by the linked administratively. And Rustaq in Persia (he says Sapphire Hamwi) is every place where farms and villages, but it Aigal cities (like Basra and Baghdad), is when the horse is like black folks at Baghdad, meaning it represents rural areas. And subdivisions mentioned in force in the country's Arab and pre-Islamic Persia and beyond, within the interest in what is known as administrative geography. Sapphire has given them a description, where he divides the state mentioned in his dictionary to administrative divisions and its inclusion each section of the Core and Rsatiq and Ttsasaj and covered by mentioning the length and width and is famous for it. It may be for this division also reminds Key Strange financial goals related to land tax (abscess). In the late Sassanid era and the early Islamic period and it responded to the area of Baghdad, the names of three and four Rsatiq Ttsasaj. Tsasaj and continued into late Tzogan of them on the western side (Qtrpl and Badourea) and Tzogan on the east side (trumpet and Kloazy) River. |
