My moms family is BIG on the syed thing to the point where they’ve ruined their daughter’s lives by marrying them to really incompatible people just because they were syed. My dad’s side is syed but they care less about it…I don’t care about it AT ALL. But my nana told me if I married outside of syeds, he would never talk to me (so sad how far away from Islam we’ve gotten)…

sounds like my family…lol! i had a very heated discussion with my mamoo once over this..he was trying to convince me that because both my nani’s mother and father were Syeds’ she’s double blessed or on higher level or something, and that I should consider myself lucky that my father’s family is Syed and that I have such an exalted blood line…ummm…Say What!!! It’s all rubbish to me…My mom’s side of the family (totally old school hyderabadi) also subscribes to the pir/murshad/random fatihas for everything version of Islam…it’s actually quite comical…lol!
