It an aa refers tae an Arab dynasty whose oreeginal strength stemmed frae the netwirk o tribal alliances an bluid loyalties in the Hejaz region o Arabie, alang the Red Sea.

## History

The Hashemites trace their ancestry from Hashim ibn Abd al-Manaf (d. c. 510 AD), the great-grandfaither of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, awtho the definition the day mainly refers to the descendants of the prophet's faither, Fatimah. The early history o the Hashemites saw them in a continuous struggle against the Umayyads for control ower who wad be the caliph or successor tae Muhammad. The Umayyads wur o the same tribe as the Hashemites, but a different clan. Efter the owerthrow o the Umayyads, the Abbasids wad present thairsels as representatives o the Hashemites, as thay claimed strynd frae Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib, an uncle o Muhammad. Muhammad's faither haed dee'd afore he wis born, an his mither dee'd while he wis a bairn, sae Muhammad wis raised bi his uncle Abu Talib, chief o the Hashemites.

Frae the 10t century onwards, the Sharif (releegious leader) o Mecca an its Emir wis bi traditional agreement a Hashemite. Afore Warld War I, Hussein bin Ali o the Hashemite Dhawu-'Awn clan ruled the Hejaz on behauf o the Ottoman sultan. For some time it haed been the practice o the Sublime Porte tae appynt the Emir o Mecca frae amang a select group o candidates. In 1908, Hussein bin Ali wis appointit Emir o Mecca. He foond hissel increasingly at odds wi the Young Turks in control at Istanbul, while he strove tae secure his faimily's poseetion as hereditary Emirs.

## During an efter Warld War I

Sharif Hussein bin Ali rebelled against the rule o the Ottomans durin the Arab Revolt o 1916. Atween 1917 an 1924, efter the collapse o Ottoman pouer, Hussein bin Ali ruled an independent Hejaz, o which he proclaimed hissel king, wi the tacit support o the Breetish Foreign Office. His supporters are whiles referred tae as "Sharifians" or the "Sharifian pairty". His chief rival in the Arabian peninsula wis the king o the heichlanders on the heichland o Najd named Ibn Saud, who annexed the Hejaz in 1925 an set his awn son, Faysal bin Abdelaziz Al Saud, as govrenor. The region wis later incorporatit intae Saudi Arabie.

Hussein bin Ali haed five sons:

* Ali, who briefly succeedit tae the throne o Hejaz afore its loss tae the Saud family.
* Abdullah, later became the king o Transjordan, an whose descendants rule the kinrick, that haes been kent iver syne as the Hashemite Kinrick o Jordan.
* Faisal, wis briefly proclaimed King o Sirie, an endit up becomin Keeng o Iraq.
* Prince Zeid, who muivit tae Jordan when his brither's grandson, King Faisal II o Iraq, wis owerthrown an murthert in a coup in 1958.
* Hassan, dee'd at a young age.

The Ryal faimily o the Sultanate o Sulu claims Hashemite ancestry currently in the Philippines. Thay are still influential ower the Muslim population o the Philippines. Mony members o the Banu Hashim hae spread oot athort the warld but sae far thare haes been nae attempt tae register them aw unner ane record. The Ryal Family o Morocco an aa claims ancestry frae Imam Ali but thay dae no uise Hashemite as thair dynastic name.
