T. E. Lawrence wrote about the community of Ansariya in his 1922 book Seven Pillars of Wisdom.

" main component of the coast population was the community of Ansariya, those disciples of a cult of fertility, sheer pagan, anti-foreign, distrustful of Islam, drawn at moments towards Christians by common persecution. The sect, vital in itself, was clannish in feeling and politics.
