Abstract
This study deals with a new group of Ancient North Arabian (Ḥarrat Belād Ash Shām zone) inscriptions that collected during a recent survey in the North Eastern Bādiya of Jordan known by (Ḥarrat Belād Ash Shām). This concerns three Pre-Islamic Safaitic inscriptions, and two early Islamic texts. The purpose of this article is to publish images of the newly-found inscriptions, give a translation, and provide some commentary. This work was achieved through 4 main points; field survey, lab works, doc-umenting and tracing the collected inscriptions, and, theoretical works including translating and analyzing. Our results proved that Islamic inscriptions show the extent of development in writing the simple Kufic script and the ability of the people of the desert to learn.
