Assalam-o-alaikum,

I ask for explaination..

Sayyeds r families that associate their lineage to our Prophet Muhammad (SAW). WHy have I only seen Sayyeds in Pakistan,India (Sub-Continent region)...why r there no families claiming to be Sayyeds in the Arabs? Though they r directly associated with the land of the Prophet (SAW).

r today's Sayyeds really Sayyeds?

assalaamu alaykum,

a lot of persians and turkish soldiers went to india as did some arab soldiers so yes some of them could have been decendents of Muhammad saws.

ok some of these cases in indo-pakistan, probably a majority are not genuine but we shouldnt doubt our brothers and sisters unnecessarily without proof.

assalaamu alaykum,
Abu Abdullah
 
Well that wht I know as well...it still doesn't answer another part of the question..has any1 here heard or seen Arab famalies in the Arab world claiming to be Sayyeds or in anyway our Prophet's (SAW) lineage?

i heard of a few and met one or two and had no reason to doubt them.
 
I was wondering about this myself...

If someone is claiming to be sayyed should be just believe them and they deserve more respect??
 
Do people treat you diffrently, more respect???

Are all sayyed highly pious??:/

sorry if i sound silly.
 
Salaam
people dont treat me differently, but some syeds say that we ae better than the non-syeds. Which is a very wrong thing to say.

Simple answer, no, they should be respected according to their character, no, more no less, in Islam it doesn't matter who your daddy or your family are, for example Prophet noah's son disobeyed him and died a disbeliver.
 
:salamext:


I really don't want to attack anyone or any sayyed, but i just want you guys to realise that Abu Lahab was an uncle of the Prophet (peace be upon him) yet he's been mentioned in the Qur'an that he will be in the hellfire. So emaan (faith) is an important factor to take note of aswell.

Oh yeah, good point made bro.
 
syeds in ma town.. dey r quite respected.. but so r da khanz n d choudhurys :S:S:S its juz a name.. ~_~
 
All points well explained...
let me tell why I raised this question..
my best friend is a sayyedah..all my life I've heard her saying..that..
ppl r very careful before they ask for sayyedah's hands (in marriage) coz they r women from Prophet's families and they have to be treated with g8 dignity.

When it came to her brothers..there would be atleast 20 girls "inspected" before the marriage...which she explained was becoz..they had to choose someone fit to be a sayyed's wife!

I am talking abt Sayeds and Sayyedas who do not practise Islam better than any other common muslim(no hijab, etc)

Sorry to be blunt but such thinking is stupid, Islam was brought down for eveyone, their is no hierarchy in islam, such thinking goes against what the prophet said in his last sermon, that the best of you is he is the most pious, simple as, not who of you is related to me.
 
some *idiotic??* people rely on a name and not a persons character.. which is quite sad :? ma towns juz full of syedz :-\ not one of them wears a hijab, or is practisin Islam.. :-\
 
EDIT.

there is a syed brother at my wife's friend's school who doesnt pray or fast because he has been told by his family he is above the need to do that and so has fallen into kufr.

I think for that simple reason we should avoid such titles, same with nationalism and sectarianism. It just gives us arrogance and pride and although the people might have good intentions to begin with this what ends up happening down the line.

What?! Like the rest of us don't matter? :raging:

May Allah guide them and all of us!

C'mon guys, lets not disrespect no-one. Imagine if, if Rasool Allaah salAllaahu alaihi waSalam was on the earth with us today, we would work hard to respect his muslim family members the same way the sahabah/companions did.
