Re: Calling All Syeds
in arabia they use sharif as a prefix for syeds , i cud be wrong though
the hashimite dynasty of pre-saudi arabia and jordan today are descended from banu hashim the tribe of Prophet
lots of syed settled in central asia as they were garrison towns e.g Qutham b Abbas a sahabi who was also a companion of our master ali b abitalib
’ +caption+ '](Samarkand: Shah-i-Zinde)
here their descendents were relatively free from the eyes of the secret police of the authorities.Many of them eventually ended up in northern india and muslim kingdoms in the south.
same reason why khurasan and ummayyad spain became such a big haven for fugitives from authorities.
