The following conversation took place between Khan Sahib
Husain and P.A. at the Rest House
P*A. The Government want an emergency grounu at Kalba.
Does Kalba belong to Sharjah or to Ras-al-Khaimah ?
K*S.Husain Sharjah, Ras-al-Khaimah and Kalba belong to Al
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.
Shaikh Sa T id bin Hamad is the cousin of the Shaikh of
Sharjah. Shaikh Saqr, the great grand-father of the
present Shaikhs, divined his dominions among his sons
before he died. Kalba was given to his son Majid who
is the grand-father of Shaikh Sa T id bin Hamad, the
present ruling Shaikh. Shaikh Sa f id bin Hamad is also
marriea to the sister of Shaikh Sultan bin Salim of
Ras-al-Khaimah. He is not under Ras-al-Khaimah nor
does he pay any Zakah to Sharjah. He Isitens to the
Shaikh of has-al-Khaimah because he is his brother-in-
law and helps him whenever he is in need. They frequently
exchange visits with each other and that is why the
Shaikh of Kalba listens to the advice of the Shaikh of
Ras-al-Khaimah. I think that if Khan Bahadur writes a
it
letter and senos/with a man, the Shaikh of Malba may
agree to allow a landing ground in his country.
4th March 1935.
The following is the conversation which took place between
the Shaikh of Sharjah ana P.A.:-
for Kalba yet the present Shaikh, Sa T id bin Hamad,is
an independent person and pays no Zaka but takes the
revenues for his own expenses. Two years ago I gdat
one of my brothers about the landing ground but the
Shaikh of Kalba did not agree because he was aaviseu by
the Shaikh of Ras-al-Khaimah not to allow one.
P.A
Is Kalba under Sharjah and does the Shaikh of Kalba pay
amy Zaka to Sharjah ?
Although the Shaikh of Sharjah is the person responsible
