History of sayyed peoples in Pakistan

Asslamoalaikum sisters brothers friends and elders, we are describing about the Honorable SYED's in Pakistan.

The Syeds are by definition a branch of the Banu Hashim, a clan from the tribe of Quraish that traces its lineage to Adnan and therefore it is directly descended from Ishmael (Ismâ`îl), as well as being collaterally descended from his paternal half brother Isaac (Isha’aq), the sons of Abraham (Ibrahim). Syeds often include the following titles in their names to indicate the figure from whom they trace their descent. The descendants of Ali and his other wives are called Alvi syed; they are titled Shah, Sain, Miya Fakir or Dewan.

There are numerous Syeds in Pakistan. Abdullah Shah Ghazi, Descendant of Imam Hasan ibn Ali, Syed Abul Hassan Bin Usman Bin Ali Al-Hajweri Hanafi, Bahauddin Zakariya Suhrawardiyya, Ganj e Inayat Sarkar, Makhdoom Rukn-ud-din, Shah Rukn-e-Alam Suhrawardiyya, Makhdoom Burhan-ud-din Suhrawardiyya, Sayyid Muhammad Al-Makki Descendant of Ali al-Hadi, Fariduddin Ganjshakar,Syed Muhammad Usman (Lal Shahbaz Qalandar), Jalaluddin Surkh-Posh Bukhari, and many more others and Some of these Syeds first migrated to Gardez, Bukhara, and Termez, and then to South Asia. Many settled early in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, and Punjab. There are many syeds of both Shia and Sunni sects of Islam. Amongst the famous Syeds who migrated to this region were Shah Yousaf Gardez of Multan, who came to Multan, Punjab, around 1050 AD. His grandfather, Syed Ali Qaswer, a decedent of Hazrat Imam Jafar Sadiq, the grandson of Hazrat Imam Hussain AS, migrated from Bughdad and was settled in Gardez, Afghanistan. The Gardezis of Pakistan and the Azad of Jammu and Kashmir are his descendants. Other saints include Baba Shah Jamal, Syed Ali Shah Tirmizi, Makhdoom Jahaniyan Jahangasht, Syed Kastir Gul Kaka Sahib of Nowshera, Syed Meeran Hussain Zanjani, Pir Baba of Buner, Jalaluddin Surkh-Posh Bukhari, Shaykh Syed Mir Mirak Andrabi of khanqi Andrabi in Indian occupied kashmir and Syed Muhammad Al-Makki. Syed people of Pakistan are figured as the most prominent and well-established people of the country, with a number of them having become popular and well-known religious icons, political leaders, and professionals. Furthermore, Pakistan currently holds the largest Syed population in all of South Asia. Mashwanis are also living in Pakistan.

The Syeds from Sheraz, Iran migrated to Baluchistan and later to Sindh are known as Sherazi Syed. They are living in Jacobabad and Thatta. The first Sherazi Syed to migrate from Baluchistan to Sindh was Malook Shah who was saint. He is buried near Jacobabad city. Another famous saint of Sindh Mehr Shah was from the lineage of Malook Shah. MPA Aijaz Ali Shah and Ex-Provincial Secretary Arbab Ali Shah are Sherazi Syed.

The Tirmizis, who settled in Pakistan, are mostly descendants of the great Sufi spiritual saint Syed Ali Shah Tirmizi Pir Baba. Pir Baba’s grave and shrine is in Bacha Killay village in the mountainous Buner District of present Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. He was also known as “Shah Kurassan” (“King of Kurassan”).

Principally Syeds have only two main links.

Descendants of Hazrat Imam Hassan Alaih-s-Salam S/o Hazrat Ali, Karam Allah Wajho are called Hassni Syeds and children of Hazrat Imam Hussain Alaih-s-Salam S/o Hazrat Ali Karam Allah Wajho, named them selves Hussaini Syeds.

But by the passage of time, kids of different Imams or dignitaries of both main links included references of their forefathers with their own names. This tradition is known as Nisbat (symbol of attribute or symbol of connection) with their ancestors. So now the Nisbat is not only a sign of distinction but also recognizance of ¡°Real Syeds¡±.

Syeds of Hussaini Linage are using so many symbols (Nisbat) like Rizvi, Kazmi, Abdi, Jaffari, Tirmazi, Shirazi Mashadi, Mousvi and Naqvi etc.

But Hassni families continue to use only Hashemites or Hassni¡ for their separate identification until the birth of Ghaus-ul-Azam Syed Abdul Qadir Gilani.

Syed Abdul Qadir was born in Jilan or Gilan. This town was in suburbs of Tibiristan (Iran). The other name of this town was Jeel or Geel and by these connections, Syed Abdul Qadir is called Gilani or Jilani.

After coming and settling at Baghdad, common people made ¡°Gilani¡± as part of his name and now descendants of Syed Abdul Qadir Gilani all over the world called them selves ¡°Gilani¡± with pride, delight and arrogance.

Gilanis are Najib-ut-Taraffain (Nobles on both sides that are to say, from father & mother) Syeds and no other linages of Syeds have the honor like this.

His father Abu Saleh Musa Jangi was from Hassani Lineage and his mother Syeda Fatima (Her Title was Umat-ul-Jabbar and Kuniyyat was Um-ul-Khair) was from Hussaini Family.

According to a most authentic book about Syed Abdul Qadir ¡°Peeran-e-Peer¡± paternal lineage of Ghaus-ul-Azam is as under.

Syed Abu Saleh Musa Jangi S/o Syed Abdullah S/o Syed Yahya Zahid S/o Syed Muhammad S/o Syed Daud S/o Syed Musa Sani S/o Syed Abdullah Sani S/o Syed Musa Al Jaun alias Syed Musa Salas S/o Syed Abdullah Al Mehaz S/o Syed Hassan Musanna S/o Syed Imam Hassan S/o Hazrat Ali Karam Allah Wajho.

Maternal lineage of Ghaus-ul-Azam is as under.

Syeda Fatima D/o Syed Abu Abdullah Somai S/o Syed Abu Jamal S/o Syed Muhammad S/o Syed Abu Tahir S/o Syed Abdullah S/o Syed Abu Kamal S/o Syed Abu Alla-ud-Deen S/o Syed Muhammad S/o Syed Ali Areezi S/o Syed Imam Jaffar Sadiq S/o Syed Imam Muhammad Baqir S/o Syed Imam Zain-ul-Abdeen S/o Syed Imam Hussain S/o Hazrat Ali Karam Allah Wajho.

There are some differences in respect of number of wives and children of Ghaus-ul-Azam Syed Abdul Qadir Gilani.

It is said that He was not interested in marriage and for a long time he avoided it but once Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa P.B.U.H ordered him to get married and four women became wives of Ghaus-ul-Azam.

1) Bibi Madina Gilani D/o Meer Muhammad Masjidi

2) Bibi Sadiqa Gilani D/o Muhammad Shafi

3) Bibi Momina Gilani

4) Bibi Mehbooba Gilani

They were mothers of 27 (and according to some books, 26) sons and 22 daughters. The names of 22 daughters of Ghaus-ul-Azam are as under.

Syeda Afia Gilani, Syeda Yaseen Gilani, Syeda Aleema Gilani, Syeda Taj Gilani, Syeda Zahida Gilani, Syeda Zakirah Gilani, Syeda Um-Al Fazal Gilani, Syeda Sharifa Gilani, Syeda Abida Gilani, Syeda Khadeejah Gilani, Syeda Riji Gilani, Syeda Um-Al Fateh Gilani, Syeda Zahra Gilani, Syeda Jamal Gilani, Syed Khair-un-Nisa Gilani, Syeda Shah Khatim Gilani, Syeda Shah Bibi Gilani, Syeda Fakira Gilani, Syeda Fatima Gilani, Syeda Um-e-Salma Gilani, Syeda Fazal-un-Nisa Gilani and Syeda Taj-un-Nisa Gilani.

Out of above mentioned, no one except Syeda Khair-un-Nisa Gilani reached her prime age or got married. Only she was married to Syed Shahab-ud-Deen S/o Abu Ahmed Abdullah S/o Syed Abu Saleh Musa Jangi Dost but stays childless.

Out of 27, names of only 12 sons have been recorded, which are as under.
