Younine (Arabic: يونين|Yūnīn), also spelled Yunin, is a municipality in the Baalbek District of the Baalbek-Hermel Governorate in northeastern Lebanon. It is located approximately 103km (64miles) east of the national capital Beirut, and 18km (11miles) northeast of the governorate capital of Baalbek.[1] Its average elevation is 1215m (3,986feet) above sea level and its jurisdiction covers 7,759 hectares.[2] It had 6,557 registered voters in 2010. Its inhabitants are Shia Muslims.[3]
Younine was the ancestral village of the 13th-century Mamluk hadith scholars Abd Allah al-Yunini (d. 1220) and Qutb al-Din Musa ibn Muhammad al-Yunini al-Hanbali of Damascus. Qutb al-Din also owned a residence in the village. At the time Younine also contained a Sufi lodge.[4] The archer Husayn al-Yunini also hailed from Younine.
In 1838, Eli Smith noted Yunin as a Metawileh village in the Baalbek area.[5]
