<p>The Hashmiyya Clan of Banu Hashim and the Formation of Jordan</p><p>The Hashmiyya clan from the Banu Hashim tribe, the Husseiniyya clan from the Banu Hussein, and the Urdawa clan came together to form the country of Jordan. This alliance progressed significantly, especially as Jordan emerged as a country with historic landmarks, notably the Red Sea. However, internal tensions arose as the Banu Hussein clan began oppressing the Urdawa, particularly the non-Muslims. This oppression exacerbated divisions, leading to clashes with Israel, where some territories were seized. The continued mistreatment of the Muslim population by the occupiers fueled further conflicts between the Jews and the Arabs in the region.</p><p>In May 1968, the United Nations, with Saudi Arabia’s support, intervened to separate Jordan from the Israeli territory. The UN advised the three main tribes of Jordan to reconcile and establish self-governance. Amid heated debates, the general populace called for the Hashmiyya clan of Banu Hashim to assume leadership. However, the other two tribes opposed this due to their perception that the Hashmiyya clan's governance was overly rooted in Islamic principles. This resistance was despite the Hashmiyya clan's origins from the Quraysh lineage of Mecca, which had settled in the Urdawa region.</p><p>Internal Conflicts Within Banu Hashim</p><p>When it was time to select a leader from the Hashmiyya clan, internal divisions surfaced. The clan split into three factions led by:</p><ol><li>Yasir Abdullah Al-Hashmiyya, who headed his family line.</li><li>Zaid ibn Abu Zarri Al-Hashmiyya, representing another branch.</li><li>Hisham ibn Ukshe Al-Hashmiyya, leading the third group.</li></ol><p>All three were grandsons of their common ancestor, Muhammad Ashraf Al-Hashmiyya, who had three sons: Abdullah (the eldest), Abu Zarri, and Ukshe (the youngest). Yasir, known for his distaste for conflict, declined the opportunity to rule, citing contentment with his current position within his family. The contest for leadership then narrowed to Abu Zarri and Ukshe. Before the election, both men sought spiritual guidance from fortune tellers, who ominously predicted that neither of them nor their descendants would ever rule the kingdom.</p><p>On the election day, Yasir surprisingly garnered unanimous support from the council and was chosen as the first King of Jordan. This outcome deeply upset Ukshe, who, in a fit of bitterness, whispered to Yasir, "You shouldn’t celebrate. You’ve betrayed us by pretending not to want power. I swear I’ll bring you down."</p><p>Yasir's Reign and Challenges</p><p>Despite his peaceful nature, Yasir prioritized justice and equity. He established fair taxation systems for merchants and wealthy individuals, aligned with Islamic principles, and sought to eradicate forced servitude. However, his policies were met with resistance from rival clans, particularly the Urdawa, Yahud (Jews), and some members of his own Hashmiyya tribe.</p><p>Ukshe left Jordan for China, seeking alternative means to usurp Yasir’s throne. Upon his return, he learned of Yasir's mysterious death. During Yasir's funeral prayers, a catastrophic flood struck, claiming many lives. This tragedy was followed by escalating conflicts between the Urdawa and Yahud clans, further destabilizing the kingdom.</p><p>Ukshe's Prophecy Fulfilled</p><p>Haunted by the fortune teller's prophecy, Ukshe shockingly renounced his claim to the throne and instead appointed Abdullah ibn Yasir Al-Hashmiyya, Yasir's son, as the new king. This move unified the Arab tribes, as they prioritized maintaining Arab rule over allowing external influences, such as the Banu Nazir or Banu Hussein, to gain power.</p><p>Legacy of the Hashmiyya Rule</p><p>Over the next 24 years, the kingdom faced various internal and external challenges. Corruption, exploitation of national resources, and negligence by those in power led to widespread suffering. By 2017, a darker chapter unfolded as human trafficking, including the sale of women, became rampant in regions like Syria's Damascus.</p><p>One dramatic incident involved a black woman being dragged to a slave market by a man attempting to sell her for 100,000 dirhams. Despite her skills in domestic work, the buyer rejected her, mocking her apparent fragility. The man, angered, declared his intent to throw her into the sea, lamenting the decisions that led her to him, including an ill-fated meeting on social media.</p><p>Conclusion</p><p>The turbulent history of the Hashmiyya clan and Jordan reflects the struggles of maintaining justice amid tribal rivalries and external pressures. While Yasir's reign was marked by attempts at fairness, the ensuing years revealed the challenges of sustaining integrity in governance.</p>
