I am Hindustani [not Hindu]. Hindu is a word originally used by Persians. Syeds don't end at the border of Pakistan created in 1947. There is long tradition of Syeds in India. What is the empirical evidence you descend from Imam Jafar? I don't think there is any. I was told I am Sadat Syed. There is no empirical evidence for it. However, Syed is our blood identity and we certainly have ancient link to Iraq. If my ancestry has a link to Syed Abul Farah from Wasit, Iraq, who was Sadat Syed [descent from Hussein], then it cannot be paternal lineage. Qeturah is third wife of Prophet Ibrahim. Arabs generally ignore her.
I verified my lineage through our family’s Shajra that legitimate Shias have in their possession.
Now back to Qturah, I asked for legitimate Islamic sources because I only found Christian sources when I googled her. Per their sources, she was his Concubine.
Syeds are strictly the descendants of the Prophet (pbuh). There’s nothing in Islamic texts that calls descended from Ibrahim (as) as “Syed.” I’ve never this “ancient Syeds.” The fact that you used a Hindu term tells me you’re another confused Hindu or rather deliberately spreading distortions about Islamic history.
Nothing in Islamic history or theology about her. Please post legitimate, non Indian, Islamic sources as the Indian sources are heavily under the influence of Hinduism and I don’t trust them.
@Big Tank @mohsen - sorry to bug you guys again, but as Shias, have you ever heard of “Ancient Syeds” this Indian is yapping about?
