About

Ya'arab bin Bel'arab was the cousin of Saif bin Sultan II, the young son of Sultan bin Saif II.

Saif bin Sultan II was aged twelve when his father, the Imam Sultan bin Saif II, died in 1718.

Although he had been named as successor and was popular among the people, the ulama decided he was too young to hold office and favored his older brother Muhanna bin Sultan.

In 1719 Muhanna bin Sultan was brought into Rustaq Fort by stealth and proclaimed Imam.
