Sharifs Of Makkah
 
 

A Syed from Hassni (Hashemite) lineage, named, Syed Qutadah Abu Sharif conquered Makkah in 1201 A.D, during regime of Abbasid Khalifah and proclaimed himself Sharif (Amir) of Makkah.

Historians have mentioned his lineage as under.

Syed Qutadah Abu Sharif bin Syed Idrees bin Syed Mutain bin Syed Abdul Kareem bin Syed Essa bin Syed Al-Hussain bin Syed Suleman bin Syed Ali bin Syed Abdullah bin Syed Muhammad Abu Jaffar Al-Saleh bin Syed Abdullah Al-Akbar bin Syed Muhammad Al-Tahir bin Syed Musa Al-Sani bin Syed Abdullah Sani bin Syed Musa Al-Jaun bin Syed Abdullah Al-Mehaz bin Syed Hassan Mussana bin Syed Imam Hassan bin Imam Ali.

Some authors have written that Syed Qutadah Abu Sharif was the First Sharif of Makkah but others have wrote that Syed Muhammad Abu Jaffar Al-Saleh was First to hold this honor but he was deposed and Syed Qutadah restored Hassni Syed’s rule after conquering this holy city. On other side a sector of historians have indicated that Hassni Syeds were Sharifs of Makkah from very beginning but during regimes of Umayyad and Abbasid Khalifah keep them deprived from their hereditary claim and right.

Anyhow Hassni Syeds again took control of their traditional status, under the leadership of Syed Qutadah Abu Sharif in 1201A.D. They   successfully accepted Mamluk and later Turkish suzerainty in 1517 A.D. Syed Qutada’s descendants continued to hold the office of Guardian of the Holy places for 800 years.

This is necessary to mention here that principally Amir Hussain Pasha was the last Grand Sharif and Amir of Makkah while Amir Haidar worked only as dummy Grand Sharif and Amir of Makkah because during the Great War in 1916, the then Grand Sharif of Makkah, Hussain bin Ali, proclaimed the independence of Sharifs of the Arabs. Although he initially assumed the leadership of All the Arabs but the lack of Allied recognition and opposition from Imam Yahya of Yemen and Bani Saud of Najd, resulted his recognition as King of Hijaz Alone. Armed conflict with the Saudis continued after the conclusion of the Great War, eventually forcing Hussain to give up his throne in favor of his eldest son, Ali.

King Ali experienced no greater success against Bani Saud of Najd and was him self forced to evacuate Makkah Muazamma and Madina Munawarah in 1925, so as to avoid bloodshed and profanation of these Holy cities. His younger brothers, Abdullah and Faisal, had become Amir of Trans Jordan, later King of Jordan and King of Iraq, respectively.

This was the end of 724 years long Hashemites rule on Makkah as well as Arab (now Saudi Arabia) also.
