Kaza

A kaza (Ottoman Turkish: قضا, "judgment" or "jurisdiction")^{[note 1]} was an administrative division of the Ottoman Empire. It is also discussed in English under the names district,^[2] subdistrict,^[3]^[4] and juridical district.^[5] Kazas continued to be used by some of the empire's successor states. At present, they are used by Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, and in Arabic discussion of Israel. In these contexts, they are also known by the Arabic name qada, qadā, or qadaa (Arabic: قضاء, qaḍāʾ).
