An-Najjariyah (Arabic: النجارية) is a municipality in the Sidon District in the governorate of South Lebanon. A small part of the Zahrani River passes through South Lebanon also passes through the north part of Al-Najjariyeh. The southern village contains two mosques that each follow a different Islamic Madhab (العربية: مذهب), which are Sunnism and Shiism. [1] An-Najjariyah is seated on the Sahel Az-Zahrani region in the sidon district, the governorate of South Lebanon. The village administers three hamlets: Msayleh, Kherbet Basal and Al-Zahrani.[citation needed]
History
[edit]In 1875, in the late Ottoman era, Victor Guérin described it: "Nedjarieh [...] is a fairly considerable farm, worked by Maronites and "schismatic Greeks", and which has replaced an ancient agricultural establishment, as is proved by cisterns and presses hewn in the rock. Fig, olive and mulberry trees surround it."[2]
Demographics
[edit]In 2014, Muslims made up 95.61% of registered voters in An-Najjariyah. 63.06% of the voters were Shiite Muslims and 32.56% were Sunni Muslims.[3]
