The study also aims to investigate the civilization of Bahrain in the era of Uyunid and to highlight significant contributions of Uyunid in the fields of economics, architecture and culture. Finally, I believe the study will help to record the events of an Emirate that is completely neglected by historians. I also believe the study will offer a global perspective on the political and civilized history of Uyunid Emirate. The study depends on deductive and inductive tools of research which a wide range of texts were read and comprehended. Then, these texts were subsequently analyzed and interpreted in collaboration with other sciences of history and geography.
