[Oman-L] AlSultanah voyage to USA. Ahmed bin Namaan Sultan's envoy.

[Dr.Aziz Alnamani]

mmm interesting !!!
 
this is the first time i know that he was not Omani so does that mean the sultana also was not from Oman ?
 
Albasra has very strange story with Omanis !!!
Jabir bin Zaid the founder of Abadhi sect was also from Al basra
 
Thanks

For kind ttention of Abdul Aziz Ali Elkabi                              "Ahmed, or to cite his full name, AL HAJ Ahmed bin Na aman bin Muhain bin Abdullah al-Bahrani was born in 1784 in Basra, where he recieved a rudimentary ,classical Islamic education. Patrilineally, he was Arab, descended from the renowned Bani Ka'ab (pronounced Cha'ab) tribe of the Persian Gulf littoral. His mother was Persian. Ahmed's early history is obscure. He is said to have started as a lowly cabin boy, and, by dint of sheer ability made his way upward. Ample evidence exists attestng to his Muslim piety, though his detractors sometimes attributed Sabean origins to him. At a later date they were to pillory him with the sobriquet Wajhain, or two faces."   Hope this helps    Regards Ralph (ralphmct at omantel.net.om )
