Who are the Syed people in Islam?

Asslamoalaikum sisters brothers friends and elders, we are describing about and his shrine.

A few Arabic language experts state that it has its roots in the word al-asad, meaning "lion", probably because of the qualities of valor and leadership. The word is derived from the verb s?da, meaning to rule. The title Syed existed before Islam, however not in light of a specific descent, but as a meritocratic sign of respect.

Arabic defines seyyid as a translation for master, chief, sovereign, or lord. It also denotes someone respected and of high status.

In the Arab world, sayyid is the equivalent of the English word "liege lord" or "master" when referring to a descendant of Muhammad PBUH.

The foundation of the title Sayyid is unclear. In fact the title Sayyid as a unified reference for descendants of Muhammad PBUH did not exist, according to Morimoto Kazuo, until the Mongol conquests. This can be substantiated by historic records about Abdul Qadir Gilani and Bahauddin Naqshband, who did not refer to themselves with any title, despite their lineages to Muhammad PBUH. Sometimes the ruling community of a nation, took this title to portray themselves as respected and honored, though they are not actually the descendants of Muhammad PBUH. This gives reasons to think that this title is founded later on. Morimoto refers to Mominov, who describes that the emergence of a community leader during the Mongol era (Ilkhanate) gave rise to the prominence of the title Sayyid. This leader is most probably the Sunni Shafiite scholar Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani, who lived in this time, being known as a saint credited with the honorific titles "Amir-e-Kabir"(English: Grand Prince) and "Ali-e-Saani" . Hamadani's religious legacy in Kashmir as well as his headquarter the Khanqa-e-Mola became under the control of the Grand Sayyid Hazrat Ishaan. Hazrat Ishaan's descendants are buried in Hamadani's headquarter, on which occasion it is known as the Ziyarat Naqshband Sahab today.

However in Sunni Islam as practiced in the Ottoman and Mughal Empire, a person descending from Muhammad PBUH (either maternally or paternally) can only claim the title of Sayyid meritocratically by passing audits, whereupon exclusive rights, like paying lesser taxes, will be granted. These are mostly based on the claimant's demonstrated knowledge of the Quran and piousness under the assessment of a Naqib al-Ashraf, also known as a Mir in Persian-speaking countries. Notable examples of such a Naqib or Mirs, were Hazrat Ishaan in the Mughal Empire and his descendant Sayyid Mir Fazlullah Agha in Royal Afghanistan.

Syed is a masculine name of Arabic origin that means “lord” or “master”. Both a given name and a surname with the variants Said Syed is said to be a term used for the descendants of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

A sayyid is a descendant of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace). They have a special place in Islam, due to their connection to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace). Because of this, they have been respected and honoured in all Muslim cultures.

In Pakistan and India sayyids are numerous, being one of the four main groups of Muslims. They also constitute an influential extratribal class in Yemen, claiming descent from the Prophet through an ancestor who came south from Iraq more than a millennium ago.

Whoever insults Sayyids, is hostile to them, or disrespects them in any way, then surely such a person is a liar in his claim of love for the Prophet, and by this action not only does he displease and hurt them but he also displeases and hurts their most noble ancestor, the Prophet PBUH.

The Syed can be found among both Shia and Sunni Muslims, A study on the ancestry of the Syed indicates that Syed is a "common honorific title given to male Muslims belonging to certain families claiming descent from the Prophet Muhammad"

Syed hierarchy is determined by the degree of nearness to Muhammad PBUH and country of origin; Syeds (who trace descent from Fatima tul zaharah, Muhammad's PBUH daughter) have the highest status. Non-Syed are categorized as ajlaf, with untouchable Hindu converts also categorized as arzal ("degraded").

In Pakistan Sadat has different branches, the main and most important of which are Hashemi, Mohammadi? Hassani (Hassani, Gilani, Tabatabai, Hashemi)? Hosseini, ( Zaidi, Mousavi, Kazemi, Razavi, Naqvi, Askzariand Sub branches like Gardezi Sadat).

Common Sayyid family surnames in Iran are Husseini, Mousavi, Kazemi, Razavi, Eshtehardian, Tabatabaei, Hashemi, Hassani, Jafari, Emami, Ahmadi, Zaidi, Imamzadeh, Sherazi, Kermani (kirmani), Shahidi, and Mahdavi.

Sadat Hassani or bani al-hassan is a branch of sadat which attributies to Imam Hassan Mojtaba (AS). second and third centuries. they established several governments in different parts of Islamic countries, some of which still exist. sadat tabatabai, modares, hakik, gillani.. are some of sadat hassani's subordinates. Imam Hassan Mojtaba (AS) is menioneed as having eight sons, six of whom have not been named at all in history. They died at a young age and abu bakr, qasim, alnd abdullah (Asghar), all of whom were martyred as teenagers in Karbala. Therefore only the descendants of Hassan Muthanna and Zayd Bin Hassan remained.

In the preesent case, the person who has reqached the Holy Prophet PBUH says sayyid (the descendants of the Prophet). And since Fatima Zahra was the only child of the Prophet of Islam, Sadat came to the Prophet through Hazrat Fatima (SA). Many syeds (Saddat) have a written family tree called shajar namah . Practical journals also mention ways to prove the sovereignty of indivuals, cincluding genealogy and the place where it is said that the father and ancestor of this person were sayyids.

In the Shia sayyid title, descendants of the Muhammad PBUH have Twelve are the following surnames.

1. Ancestor of Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) are Alvi or Hashimi
2. Ancestor of Hazrat Hasan ibn Ali (RA) are Hassani or Hashimi
