Bahrain was thus transformed from a Persian dependency into an
Arab principality governed by Shaikhs of the Al Khalifah section of the
'Utub. The Jalahimah section of the tribe, who had once before
separated themselves from the rest of the 'Utub in Qatar and who now
considered themselves unfairly treated by the majority in Bahrain, shortly
took their departure for the mainland, leaving the Al Khalifah in
undisputed possession of the new conquest. The disappointed Jalahimah
were at this time under the leadership of four brothers, sons of a deceased
Shaikh named Jabir; and one of these, named Rahmah, was destined to
achieve great notoriety and to become the scourge of the Al Khalifah of
Bahrain.
The Persian Government, or rather the Arab Shaikhs representing
them in the Gulf, could not at once reconcile themselves to the loss of
Bahrain. During the latter part of the year 1783 preparations were on
foot for an expedition on a large scale by the Shaikhs of Bushehr and
Hormuz, assisted by Persian troops and by the Shaikh of the
Qawasim
One of the ruling families of the United Arab Emirates; also used to refer to a confederation of seafaring Arabs led by the Qāsimī tribe from Ras al Khaima.
