Beka is a village located in the Swabi District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The village is known for its historical roots, Pashtun tribal heritage, religious scholarship, and a strong tradition of community welfare, education, and social harmony.

History

The village of Beka was founded by Nawab Nehmat Khan of the Taju Khel sub-tribe of the Yousafzai Pashtuns. According to local historical accounts, Nawab Nehmat Khan settled in the area alongside members of other clans, collectively establishing and آباد the settlement that later became known as Beka.
Oral history further suggests that an earlier settlement, sometimes referred to as Old Beka, existed near the Indus River and was submerged several centuries ago due to changes in the river’s course. Following this event, new villages emerged in the surrounding region, including Beka, Beka Dari, Nabi, Salah, and Haryan.
