Everything about Al-yamama totally explained
al-Yamama (lit. "
dove") is an ancient district covering the eastern section of the plateau of
Nejd in modern-day
Saudi Arabia, or sometimes more specifically, the now-extinct ancient village of Jaww Al-Yamamah, near
Al-Kharj, after which the rest of the region was named. Only a handful of centralized states ever arose in Yamamah, but it figured prominently in early Islamic history due to it becoming a central theater in the
Ridda Wars immediately following
Muhammad's death. The name gradually gave way in recent centuries to the alternative, though equally ancient, term "Nejd", which encompasses a larger area. However, the term "Al-Yamamah" still lives on as a nostalgic historical term that's invoked to emphasize the region's ties with its ancient past. The current headquarters of the
Saudi government in
Riyadh, for example, is known as the
Palace of Yamamah.
