...The term "sacred Balad" refers to Mecca, and villages in Egypt and Iraq were also called Balad. However, Balad as a village is often used to mean an administrative village, as opposed to a natural village (qarya), and in this case, it was understood by the central government as a unit for collecting taxes. The plural form of Balad, bilād al-islām, refers to the area within the scope of Muslim sovereignty, and this can be said to be related to the awareness of a region as one's own "country" (balad) in relation to foreign powers such as the Crusaders and the Mongol army.

However, in Arab society, a village that the government recognized as a unit for collecting taxes was usually called a balad, which could consist of one qarya or two small villages.

…かつてイラン社会で大きな権限を振るったディフカーンが,11世紀ころまでには,農民一般を指す言葉として用いられるようになったことが,この間の変化をよく物語っている。 イスラム時代の中東では,アラブのむらを一般にカルヤqaryaといい,イランのディーフdīh,トルコのキョイköyがこれに相当する。しかしアラブ社会の場合には,政府が租税徴収の単位として把握するむらはバラドと呼ばれるのが普通であり,これは一つのカルヤからなることもあれば,二つの小村からなっていることもあった。…
