Draft:Muhammad Agha Shu'ayb

Muhammad Agha Shu'ayb (affiliated with the Himyarite Emirate in Iraq and the Arabian Peninsula) was the ruler of the region extending from Akkar and the districts of Batroun, Jbeil, Koura, and Keserwan to the Syrian coast. He assumed the rule of the state of Tripoli in 1523 during the Ottoman era. In 1528, he was assassinated along with his son in the Taynal Mosque of Tripoli.

History
The emirate of Muhammad Agha Shu'ayb existed in Arqa, Northern Lebanon, and the Mount Lebanon districts of Jbeil, Keserwan, Batroun, Koura, and Ain al-Sindiana, from the Mamluk era until 1579, specifically in the first Ottoman century. After the first Ottoman century, this emirate ended. In the book History of the Shiites of Mount Lebanon, it is mentioned that clans and families from Iraq came to the districts of Mount Lebanon between the years 1382 and 1400 during the reign of the Circassian Mamluks in the sheikhdom of Hamada Al-Madhaji (Hammadi sheikhdom). It included the Hammade clans of Murad bin Madhaj that merged into the emirate of Shu'ayb Al-Himyari to form a tribal entity, by a unifier named by historians as Madhaj Al Himyar, to protect them from invasions.
