 History 
The Hashemiteshttp://www.kinghussein.gov.jo/hashemites.html  The Hashemites: Jordan's Royal Family 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.T. E. Lawrence (1926), Seven Pillars of Wisdom, reprinted 2000 Penguin classics, p. 48 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.Time-Life Books, What Life Was Like: In the Land of the Prophet, p. 17
