[1] Jordan, Israel, Egypt and Syria were all then part of Ottoman’s Empire. The word Palestine derives from Philistia, the name given by Greek writers to the land of the Philistines, who in the 12th century bc occupied a small pocket of land on the southern coast, between modern Tel-Aviv-Yafoand Gaza. Palestine is generally defined as a region bounded on the east by the Jordan River, on the north by the border between modern Israel and Lebanon, on the west by the Mediterranean Sea (including the coast of Gaza), and on the south by the Negev, with its southernmost extension reaching the Gulf Of Aqaba. The region is also known as the Holy Land and is held sacred among Jews, Christians, and Muslims.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]20150[/ATTACH]</p><p> Israeli Jews constituted roughly half of the population west of the Jordan, while Arabs—Muslim, Christian, and Druze—and other smaller minorities accounted for the rest. In August 24, 1516, the Ottoman sultan, Selim I, routed the Mamlūk armies at the Battle of Marj Dābiq. Palestine began its four centuries under Ottoman domination. Under the Ottoman Turks, Palestine continued to be linked administratively to Damascus. Palestine was divided into the districts of Nāblus and Acre, both of which were linked with the province of Beirut and the autonomous district of Jerusalem, which dealt directly with Istanbul.<strong>[2]</strong>At Jerusalem the Guru met the religious leaders of Judaism and Christianity and held discussions with them.

[8][9] In 1516, the ottoman Empire invaded the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt, conquering Syria, and incorporating it into its empire. Damascus was made the major entrepot for Mecca, and as such it acquired a holy character to Muslims, because of the beneficial results of the countless pilgrims who passed through on the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca.

After Damascus, Aleppo is the largest town in Syria. The Guru asked Mardana to play upon the rebec and himself began to sing the hymn. The people tried to forbid the Guru from song and music, but he paid no attention to this. On a complaint the religious leader Pir Mohi-ud-Din cam at the site, but instead of saying anything to the Guru, he himself was elated into an ecstasy because of sweetness of the music. When the ruler came to know of this , he sent his preceptor Pir Abdul Rehman Rumi, who also went into ecstasy listening to the music. The ruler came himself and bowed before the great Guru and Guru held discourses for all of them. It is said that there is a mosque here named mosque of Wali Hind near the mosque of Baba Farid.[15]</p><p></p><p><strong>References</strong></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px"><strong>1.
