Origins
Şablon:AnchorAmir, meaning "Lord" or "commander-in-chief", is derived from the Arabic root Şablon:Transl, "command". Originally simply meaning commander-in-chief or leader, usually in reference to a group of people, it came to be used as a title for governors or rulers, usually in smaller states, and in modern Arabic is analogous to the English word "prince". The word entered English in 1593, from the French émir.<ref>EtymologyOnLine</ref> It was one of the titles or names of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
Princely, ministerial and noble titles
- The monarchs of UAE, Qatar and Kuwait are currently titled Emirs.
- All members of the House of Saud have the title of Emir (Prince).
- The caliphs first used the title Amir al-Muminin or "Commander of the Faithful", stressing their leadership over the Islamic Empire, especially over the militia. The title has been assumed by various other Muslim rulers, including Sultans and Emirs. For Shia Muslims, they still give this title to the Caliph Ali as Amir al Muminin.
- The Abbasid (in theory still universal) Caliph Ar-Radi created the post of Amir al-Umara ("Amir of the Amirs") for Ibn Raik; the title was used in various Islamic monarchies; see below for military use
- In Lebanon, the ruling Emir formally used the style al-Amir al-Hakim since, specifying it was still a ruler's title. Note that the title was held by Christians as well.
- The word Emir is also used less formally for leaders in certain contexts. For example, the leader of a group of pilgrims to Mecca is called an Emir hadji, a title sometimes used by ruling princes (as a mark of Muslim piety) which is sometimes awarded in their name. Where an adjectival form is necessary, "Emiral" suffices.
- Amirzade, the son (hence the Persian patronymic suffix -zade) of a prince, hence the Persian princely title Mirza.
- The traditional rulers of the predominantly Muslim northern regions of Nigeria are known as Emirs, while the titular sovereign of their now defunct empire is formally styled as the Sultan of Sokoto, Amir-al-Muminin (or Sarkin Musulmi in the Hausa language).
- The temporal leader of the Yazidi people is known as an Emir or Prince.
Military ranks and titles
Şablon:See also From the start, Emir has been a military title.
In certain decimally-organized Muslim armies, Amir was an officer rank. For example, in Mughal India Amirs commanded 1000 horsemen (divided into ten units, each under a Sipah salar), ten of them under one Malik. In the imperial army of Qajar Persia:
- Amir-i-Nuyan
- Amir Panj, "Commander of 5,000"
- Amir-i-Tuman, "Commander of 10,000"
The following posts referred to "amir" under medieval Muslim states include:
- Amir al-umara, "Amir of Amirs" (cfr. supra) or 'Commander of Commanders'
- Amir al-hajj, "Commander of the Hajj [caravan]"
- Amir al-ʿarab, "Commander of the Arabs [Bedouin tribes]"
In the former Kingdom of Afghanistan, Amir-i-Kabir was a title meaning "great prince" or "great commander".
Muhammad Amin Bughra, Nur Ahmad Jan Bughra, and Abdullah Bughra declared themselves Emirs of the First East Turkestan Republic.
Other uses
