The forgotten Prince – HH Sayyid, Majid bin Hamoud bin Mohammed Al-Said
HH Sayyid Majid bin Hamoud bin Mohammed bin Said bin Sultan bin Ahmed bin Said Al-Said of Oman and Zanzibar.
Majid bin Hamoud was the younger brother of HM Sultan Ali bin Hamoud Al-Said.
Majid took two wives, fathering 11 children.
He is credited with assisting to forge local peace treaties between the Omani Empire, Ottoman Empire and Persian Empire in the Gulf.
The youngest of his sons, HH Sayyid Sahibzada, Sulayman bin Majid bin Hamoud Al-Said was awarded his own Sanjak (Principality) within the latter days of the Ottoman Empire. He ruled the district long after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in the 1920s.
Sulayman bin Majid took two wives, one of Pashtun nobility and the other from the Ottoman Empire’s western reaches.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
