limited on the north fcy Basrah, on the East or south East by
Oman and on the West by r, Dehna rf (the sandy desert between le^d
and the Gulf). This territory together with the island of
Bahrein then called "Ev-al” and the Oman littoral formed integral
parts of Persia during the centuries preceding the invasion of
Persia by the Arabs; the population of this whole territory,
quite unlike that of Arabia which was atheist, was composed of
a majority of Zoroastrians and of a minority of Christians and
Jews* A Governor was always nominated by the Persian Govern
ment for the territory and this arrangement was continued till
the sixth year after the Hegira vtie# Mohamed the prophet sent
Ala-bin-el-Khazri to occupy it. The Persian Governor was then
Sibakht who embraced Islam (vide the history written by Tabari—
Tarikh-i-Tabari; Muajam-ul-Buldan 1 s chapter about Bahrein and
Muluk-ul-Arab of Reihani, page 208).
When Persia regained her independence under the
Deylamides, this region also followed the lead of Persia and
was under Persian rule and on the decline of the peylamides,
the tribe Banu—Kayser of the island Q,ais, ruled over Bahrein as
over the entire Gulf, Larestan and a portion of uhe Kerman pro^
vince. Yakut H'amavi describes the rulers of oai® in his
3v!aajim-ul-Buldan as being of Persian origin and exactly like tne
'Deylamides and adds that two thirds of the revenues of Bc~nr
are being received by them# When Abu Bekr-bin-baad zen^i ov
threw the Q,ais rulers of Bani Kayser in o27, he took po^sessio
of Qais and Bahrein, Hasa and the Oman littoral. After the
decline of the Zangi dynasty, the ^engizis c^nd
Teymouris took possession of Bahrein. Bahrein subseque y
became a dependency of the Kings of Ormuz who ruled over the
island of Ormuz and acknowledged the sovereign rights of Persia.
When the Portugese invaded the Gulf, the Ormuz riil^is were
nominally the rulers of Bahrein and Rukn-ed-Din Masud tue
