The Emirs and Emiras of the Hiqbat Jamila were known to be weak, but not unintelligent. The reign of Emira Soraya (dubbed the laziest Emira) marked the time where formal relations with Mirhaime were established as a way to strengthen the Sayqidi military.
 
In 1991, [[Askaraban|the Theocratic Republic of Askaraban]] invaded the Sheikhdom of Aparapat, out of hopes of reuiniting the [[Kingdom of Astava]], which collapsed during the Sayqidi invasion of the Haq mountains in the 13th century. Though the Asakarabani forces greatly outnumbered the Sayqidi ones, with Mirhamian assitance, the Sayqidi pushed back Askaraban. Despite its short period, it was one of if not the most devastating war in Sayqidi history.
== Etymology ==
Because of its religion and culture, the realm would be named after the ruling dynasty. The name of the dynasty, Sayyed (السيد) means "The Master" in Alsaayqayidu.
 
-i in SayyibyAtasiqayidu, followed by a culture or a nation means "people of", hence Xuhari (People of the Xuhar) and Haqmi (People of the Haq).
 
Before Sayyed, the preceding kingdom was called Ashur, named after the river that flowed near the city of Salaharkesh (now Salarqa).
