There is no country called Jordan in whole Islamic history, because it always remained the part of caliphate. British created it as their will after dividing Ottoman Empire and named it after the river Jordon or Yardan. I read somewhere that Kings of Saudi Arabia and Jordon belong to same family.
I dont know where you get the idea but Jordan was never the original name- It was Urdan- later renamed to Jordan-
You can call it Yardan according to your Dialect- The original name in native language in Arabic is اَلأُرْدُن, Urdun-
Jordanians are the true heirs of two Holy mosques- Makkah and Madinah- They are the direct descendant of original tribe of Hijaz- Banu Hashim- "al-Hashemiyya"-

" The earliest documented use of the word "Arab" to refer to a people appears in the Monolith Inscription, an Akkadian language record of the 9th century BC Assyrian Conquest of Syria.[16] Listed among the booty captured by the army of king Shalmaneser III in the Battle of Qarqar are 1000 camels of "Gi-in-di-bu'u the ar-ba-a-a" or "[the man] Gindibu belonging to the ʕarab" (ar-ba-a-a being an adjectival nisba of the noun ʕarab "
If the above statement is correct... then Qur'an must be wrong
and why so?-
