From diino derived the Hebrew and Arabic words Dayan, which means a judge, more precisely a Talmudic judge and a judge in a religious court. Diino is Diin in Arabic, and its means religion. In ancient Islamic literature and religious texts, Dayan refers to God (Allah) the judge who will pass judgment on dead people at the end of time. The primitive meaning of Dino was religion. In Arabic, it is Din (Religion), as well as Dayana, Diyana.So, the primordial meaning was a religious tribunal. This is understandable, because in ancient times, all laws (Civil, social, military, penal, etc.) were based upon religious dogma and teachings. Worth mentioning here, that there is a famous historic city in Lebanon called Beit El-Din “Bet Din”, “Beiteddin”. At one time in history, this ancient city was the most important city in Lebanon and the siege of Emir (Prince) Bashir Chehab, the ruler of Lebanon, appointed by the Sultan of Turkey.The Castle of Beiteddin, "House Of Faith", built by Prince Chehab is one of Lebanon's greatest treasures. The palace reflects the typical oriental architecture of the 19th century. •Eseru: Akkadian/Assyrian. Noun.
