For analyzing data qualitatively, the researcher used two sources; records and historical books The current study also reveals that most of these jobs were inherited among the Jerusalem families, which led to social influence of these families inside or outside Jerusalem. This study is significant due to the lack of studies on Jerusalem in the eighteenth century. Most studies did not give a complete picture about the attitudes of people in Jerusalem. In addition, Jerusalem currently exposed to global attempts to deny the historical and religious rights of Jerusalemites in Jerusalem, and erased the Arabic Islamic identity of Jerusalem.
