Explanation

Some books mention 10, but the standard historical view is that Hazrat Umar (RA) divided the empire into 8 main provinces for administration.

کچھ کتابوں میں دس جواب لکھا جو کہ غلط ہے اصل جواب 8 ہی ہے

The most widely accepted historical view is that Hazrat Umar (RA) divided the Islamic state into 8 main provinces:

• Makkah
• Madinah
• Syria (Shaam)
• Iraq
• Egypt
• Persia (Iran region)
• Jazira (Upper Mesopotamia)
• Bahrain / Eastern Arabia

Why do some books say “10”?

Some references include sub-governorships or later administrative additions (like smaller regions under governors), which increases the count to 9 or 10, but those are not the original main provinces.
