History
history: Zabīd is the name of a town and an administrative district in the Tihāma↗ coastal plain of Republic of Yemen↗ . It is located 25 km from the Red Sea↗ shore in area of fertile agricultural lands irrigated by Wādī Rimaʿ↗ in the north, Wādī Zabīd↗ to which it owes its name, in the south. Zabīd was founded in the 9th century under the Ziyadi↗ dynasty, from 819 to 1021 who made its political centre. As early as the 10th-11th century Zabīd was recognized as one of the leading urban centres in the Islamic world. Zabīd was taken by the Ottoman Empire↗ who made it their chief South Arabian↗ centre between 1538 and 1636. During that period dynamic commercial, political and religious interactions between Republic of Yemen↗ and North east Africa persisted. The Influence of Zabīd's religious academics on Islamic institutions and scholars in the Horn of Africa since 18th century can not be overstated.
