This study reveals the prevalence of Kurdish tribal states, political entities, in the vicinity of the Abbasid city of Baghdad. Through a presentation of the lives and contributions of leading Jawani personalities, it is shown that the Kurdish states contributed to the development of early Islam from both the political and religious aspects. The Jawani emirs were involved in most of the Baghdadi region’s dealings with the Abbasid caliphate. They also had dealings with the Buwayhids, Ukaylids, Mazyadids, Annazids, Hasanvayhids, Marwanids and Seljuks. Sometimes, they formed alliances with these states, and sometimes they fought. The Jawani Emirate, one of the powers that determined the fate of the region until 557/ 1161-1162, lost their strong position after the Abbasid caliph expatriated the Mazyadids from al-Hillah. The present writer greatly relies on medieval Islamic sources, such as the scholars Masudi, Ibn al-Jawzi, Sibt Ibn al-Jawzi, İbn al-Athir, al-Dahabi and Ibn Khaldun.
