History
"as-Salâm as-Solṭâni" was written by poet Rashid bin Uzayyiz Al Khusaidi. The music for it was composed at the request of Muscat's government by James Frederick Mills, a Briton, in December 1932.[4][5]
In 1970, a modified version was written by the poet Ħafiẓ ben-Sâlem as-Sayl al-Gasâni, the adviser of the former Sultan of Oman, Qaboos bin Said. The melody was composed by Egyptian musician Mohammed Abdel Wahab.[6]
