Al-'Ajman or al-'Ijman (, singular "Ajmi") are a
bedouin tribe of northeastern
Arabia, with members spread across
Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait,
Qatar, and the
U.A.E..The tribe is an offshoot of the tribe of
Banu Yam, the principle tribe of
Najran near
Yemen. The 'Ajman separated from Yam sometime in the 18th century, along with another sub-tribe known as
Al Murrah. Both tribes migrated towards the east, with the Ajman settling the region between
al-Ahsa and
Kuwait, and Al Murrah ending up roaming regions further south on the border of the
Empty Quarter desert. Unlike their parent tribe of Yam, who are predominantly
Ismaili Shi'as, the Ajman and Al Murrah are entirely
Sunni.
