Jilanis

[MRT]

Jilanis or Gilanis are descendants of Hashemites who traditionally refers to those belonging to the Banu Hashim, or clan of Hashim, a clan within the larger Quraish tribe, of which Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (P.B.U.H) was a member. It also refers to an Arab dynasty whose original strength stemmed from the network of tribal alliances and blood loyalties in the Hejaz region of Arabia, along the Red Sea.

The Hashemites trace their ancestry from Hashim (died about 510), the great-grandfather of the Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (P.B.U.H). The early history of the Hashemites saw them in a continuous struggle against the Umayyads for control over who would be the caliph or sucessor to Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (P.B.U.H).

The Umayyads were of the same tribe as the Hashemites, but a different clan. This rivalry eventually would lead to the split between the Sunni and Shia. After the overthrow of the Umayyads, the Abbasids would present themselves as representatives of the Hashemites, as they claimed descent from Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib, an uncle of Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (P.B.U.H).

Umayyads and Abbasids were brothers of Gilani Syeds but this is a bitter historical fact that Gilani Syeds were always target of calamity, outrage, oppression, injustice and violence of their own but opportunist brothers. They never contaminated themselves in any activity, struggle or bloodshed for crown,throne and fortune but instead of this, they choose the path of preaching Islam throughout the world as true and sincere sucessor of their grandfather Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (P.B.U.H).

Alhamdulila, this is so true of the Qanqah e Ashrafia Gilani dynasty today and for our future generations.

Subhanallah, brother Gulam thank you for posting this lineage tree, it brings tears to my eyes that here today in 2004 in Huzoor Shaykh ul -Islam and the rest of the Ashrafi khandan they are blessed with the same blood lines of YA Ghaus e Azam.

We pray that the family lines continue for another 500 years.

Possibly may well have ? But it could have been before Ashrafi Mia's time an earlier period perhaps.Nothing noted of those other tariqats linking with Ashrafi's on the website.

I suppose you would need to ask someone from the Ashrafi Qanqah, possibly Mufti Sahib to verify this or seek a good old reference book.

I dont think you'l find the answer on the net.
