(Redirected from El Zein Family - Lebanon)
Not to be confused with Al-Zein crime family.


The El Zein family (Arabic: الزين آل) is a prominent feudal Lebanese family with large estates in Jabal Amil (southern Lebanon), mainly in Shehour, Jibshit, and Kfar Reman. Members are now spread across different areas, both within the country and in the Lebanese diaspora.

The El Zein family is part of the area's historical elite, known for their contributions to the community in both governance and cultural development. During the campaign of Jazzar Pasha on Jabal Amil, the family played a significant role in fostering local resilience, under the leadership of Nasif al-Nassar and his partner Ali El Zein “Al-Kabir”, known as the feudal lord of Shehour. The family has been actively involved in numerous social, political, cultural, and educational initiatives.

Several family members have left a lasting legacy through publications such as the magazine Al-Irfan founded in 1909, which focused on cultural and intellectual topics relevant to Ottoman, Arab, and inter-communal Lebanese communities, as well as a collection of works authored by family members about the history of Jabal Amil and other publications in Lebanon and abroad. Most recently, Lebanese-Australian author Abbas El Zein won an award in 2024 for his book in English.[1][2]

Origins

edit

The poet and historian Ali bin Suleiman El Zein narrates in his manuscript,[3] quoting the late scholar and historian Ali Sebiti [ar] in his book The History of the Families of Jabal Amel (تاريخ عائلات عامل) that the ancestor of the El Zein family is Zain Al-Abidin, known as Al Zain Al-Ansari Al-Khazraji, originally from Medina and a descendant of Sa’d ibn 'Ubadah, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad and the leader of the Khazraj tribe.

It is said that Zain Al-Abidin migrated from Medina to Egypt and then to Syria along with Abi Zain Al-Qasim Al-Hasani. He was one of Saladdin's commanders during his campaign in Palestine and Syria in 1178 CE, alongside Prince Abi Al-Qasim Al-Hasani, who was in charge of managing the coast of Tyre. At the same time, Hossam Al-Din Bishara, Saladdin's nephew, was the ruler of the Beshara region (South Lebanon), while Zain Al-Abidin was made governor of the Tebnine fortress.[4][5]

Zein Al-Din El Zein

edit

One of Zein Al-Abidin's descendants, Khalil bin Musa bin Yusuf El Zein, moved to the village of Shehour and settled there[6]. One of his sons, Zein Al-Din El Zein, was born in Shehour in 1747.[5][7] Zein Al-Din grew up under his father's care, and upon reaching adulthood, he was sent to Najaf in Iraq to further his knowledge, where he spent fifteen years studying jurisprudence and the science of Hadith.[7][8]

He returned to his hometown to engage in religious duties and community leadership but was martyred by the Ottoman governor Jazzar Pasha in 1773[9], who saw him as a threat due to his influential role, burning his vast library of over 3,000 volumes in the process[10][11]. Zein Al-Din El Zein left behind five sons: Ali 'Al Kabir,' Muhammad, Yahya, Qasim, and Hassan.[5][7]

Role of Ali El Zein “Al Kabir”

edit

Ali El Zein "Al-Kabir", known as the "Proprietor of Shehour", established strong relations with the governors of Acre during the Ottoman rule after succeeding his father Zein Al-Din El Zein's leadership. The Sublime Porte (Ottoman central authority) entrusted him with the administration of local affairs in exchange for an annual tax payment.[4] Ali El Zein's authority extended from the city of Sidon to Naqoura along the coast, and from Shehour to Baraachit in the mountains.[12][13]

In 1776, Ahmad Pasha, known as “Al-Jazzar” (the Butcher), was appointed the new governor of Acre and ruler over the region.[14] The relationship between him and the inhabitants of Jabal Amel deteriorated due to his excessive oppression and tyranny, spreading fear and imposing heavy taxes on them.[15]

 
Ahmad Pasha Al-Jazzar

In 1783, a group of the country's local leaders gathered in the village of Shehour. Exhausted by Jazzar Pasha, they resolved to fight back and save what remained of their homeland from destruction[16]. Hamza bin Muhammad Al-Nassar and his companion Ali El Zein “Al Kabir” led the revolution[16][17][18] and directed the defense campaign against Jazzar Pasha under the leadership of Nasif Al-Nassar.[19][20] They formed a battalion to attack Jazzar's workers and soldiers, who were stationed in various parts of Jabal Amil under strict military occupation, imposing taxes, causing harm and suffering to the population. The battalion attacked Jazzar's local governor in Tebnine, slaughtering him and his aides, overpowering his troops and seizing the royal treasury.[16][20][21]

 
Tebnine Fortress

Jazzar Pasha dispatched his soldiers and henchmen to hunt down the rebels. They invaded the village of Shehour, leading to a bloody battle in which Hamza Al-Nassar was martyred, and the surviving rebels fled.[17] Ali El Zein and his companions escaped to Iraq, continuing his journey to Iran and eventually to India[22][23]. There, one of the Indian Kings appointed him as a vizier, eventually returning to his homeland after the British invasion of India.[5][22][23]

Peace did not return to Jabal Amil until Jazzar's death in 1804[24]. However, the rebels' influence extended to Acre and Safad. The new governor eventually realized that his troops would fail to suppress the rebels due to the growing control of the revolutionary forces. He summoned Ali Al-Faris to Acre, offering him the governorship of Jabal Amil under his authority. Ali refused unless an agreement was reached with the rebels and the region was restored to its state before Jazzar's turmoil.[20]

Finally, the governor Suleiman Pasha, the new ruler of Acre, conceded, convening a meeting attended by Bashir Al-Shehabi and Faris Nassif Al-Nassar,[17] representing Jabal Amil. The rebels were pardoned, confiscated properties were returned to their rightful owners, and stability prevailed until the arrival of Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt in 1832.[20][25][26]
