History
[edit | edit source]In 1596, the village appeared in the Ottoman tax registers as Majdal, part of the nahiya of Bani Kilab in the Hauran Sanjak. At the time, it had an entirely Muslim population consisting of 14 households and 5 bachelors. The villagers paid a fixed tax rate of 40% on various agricultural products, including wheat (4,200 akçe), barley (540 a.), summer crops (840 a.), and livestock such as goats and beehives (110 a.). The total tax amounted to 5,690 akçe, of which 14/24 of the revenue went to a waqf.[2]
In 1838, el-Mujeidil was described as a village “in the Luhf, west of the Lejah” with a Muslim population.[3]
