Notes
The Ottoman Empire paid great attention to taking care of the affairs of its various provinces, and paid special attention to the Hijaz region, which entered the possession of the Ottomans from the year 923 AH/1517 AD until the year 1334 AH/1915 AD, due to the sacred places that the Hijaz region contains (the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque). It provided everything in its power to overcome the difficulties and provide means of comfort for the pilgrims of the Holy House of God and visitors. The Prophet’s Mosque, and for the residents of this important state, was concerned with organizing Hajj convoys, which depart at specific times from various parts of the Islamic world, from Iraq, the Levant, Egypt, Yemen, and others. This matter required careful follow-up and continuous supervision by the Ottoman sultans, and this required the establishment of a postal system that would enable it to do so. Telegraph was later introduced, among the developments introduced by the Ottoman Empire. The study dealt with mail and telegraphs in Hijaz, during the Ottoman era, through documents preserved at the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Institute for Hajj and Umrah Research, at Umm Al-Qura University. The study included a brief definition of mail and its origin in the Islamic State, then mail in Hijaz in the Ottoman era, and the procedures and regulations that accompanied its establishment, as it is known as telegraphy and its entry into the Hijaz region. It also deals with the effects that resulted from the use of these two means, as the Ottomans were able to During it, they tightened control and closely monitored their authority over the Hijaz region, and its use also resulted in social, economic and scientific effects that were reflected positively on the people of Hijaz.
