Notes
This article aims to search for the origin of the word (mix) in Semitic dictionaries and trace its pragmatic development in Arabic dictionaries, ancient and modern, on the one hand. It is based on tracing its use in sources of the Arab heritage: literary, historical, religious, and documentary, issued by the collections of Arabic letters from the era of the Prophet and the Rightly Guided era until the present day, on the other hand. The research reveals to us that the word (mix) and what is derived from it have been used in the Arabic language since the pre-Islamic era, descending from Akkadian, Syriac, Hebrew, and other languages closely related to their language. The research shows us, by tracing this term in pragmatic terms, that it included the meaning of the various taxes collected by the state, tribe, or individuals from the Assyrian era until the Ottomans entered the Arab countries at the beginning of the tenth century AH / approximately the sixteenth century AD. With the Ottomans, the word “customs” or “customs” entered customs usage and the state’s financial institutions, until this term disappeared or almost disappeared from official use in the bureaus and administrations of the Arab countries, even though it was not erased from popular memory when complaining about the new taxes that some people consider to be in violation of Sharia law, and they call them excise duties. This research was based on the descriptive historical approach in establishing this word and tracking its development in use. Which revealed to us a great diversity in the types of taxes imposed on various activities of life: religious, social, economic, and urban across different eras. Which reflected to us constant complaints from those in charge of excise duties and legislators. The research included two sections: the first dealt with the meaning of the word “mix” in dictionaries, and the second covered the circulation of this word and its use in Arab heritage sources.
