Does anyone know where I can find a list of the previous governors of Madinah Munawwarah for the last 200 years approx? Also, is the governor of Madinah province different from the governor of Madinah city?

A google search doesn't seem to bring up anything particularly relevant.
in advance.

Do you want just the list or some details also? I have a book called Tareekh e Madinah. I'll type it up from there.

Today the Governor is for the whole province.

Just names will do for now please . Does tareekh Madina have details of the last 10 governors before the current governor? That's what I'm really interested in.

Here is a list. I've left out the years where it was confusing.

• 1303-1319 Muhammad Arabi Zarooq Pasha
• 1319-1320 Ahmad Shakir Pasha
• 1320-1324 Sami Pasha Farooqi
• 1324-1326 Ali Pasha
• 1326-1328 Hasan Hasani Pasha
• 1328 Ali Raza bin Mahmood
• Saad pasha
• Bahri Pasha
• Basri Pasha
• Fakhri Pasha
• Sharaf bin Rajih
• 1334 Abdullah bin Hussain
• 1338 Ali bin Hussain
• 1343 - 1344 Ash-Shareef Ahmad bin Mansoor
• 1344 Muhammad bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud
• 1385-1405 Abdul Muhsin bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud
• 1406 - 1420 Abdul Majeed bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud
• 1420 - 1426 Muqrin bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud
• 1426 to date Abdul Aziz bin Majid bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud

this is the information I was looking for. I assume Ash-Shareef Ahmad bin Mansoor was the governor when Hadhrat Madani was in Madina and before 1334, the governors were predominantly Pasha. Do you know if Pasha is nisbat to a particular place in Arabia? (As you may have deduced, beyond primary school, my knowledge of geography was also limited to a map on the wall.)

Hazrat Madni (RA) stayed in Madinah Munawwarah at different times as mentioned below:

1317 - 1318 AH
1320 - 1326 AH
1332 - 1335 AH

So Shareef Ahmad bin Mansoor couldn't have been Governor at that time.

When Hazrat Shaikh ul Hind (RA) came here (which was before 1334 AH), Ghalib Pasha was the Governor of Hijaz and Basri Pasha was the Governor of Madinah Munawwarah. It is mentioned in his Biography that he contacted these Pashas for the Khilafat Movement.

pasha (päsh'ə, păsh'ə, pəshä'), highest honorary title in official usage in the Ottoman Empire and with slight variation in the states formed from its territories, where it is sometimes still employed (although Turkey formally abolished it in 1934 and Egypt in 1953). The designation, which is a personal rather than a hereditary distinction, was given under the Ottoman rulers to individuals of both civilian and military status, notably ministers, provincial governors, and army officers.
