TraditionsBa'Alawi tariqa

The Ba 'Alawi sadah or Sadah Ba 'Alawi (Arabic: السادة آل باعلوي, romanizedal-sādatu al-bā'alawiy) are a group of Hadhrami Sayyid families and social group originating in Hadhramaut in the southwest corner of the Arabian Peninsula. They claimed their lineage to Sayyid al-Imam Ahmad al-Muhajir bin Isa al-Rumi born in 873 (260H), who emigrated from Basra to Hadhramaut[1] in 931 (320H) to avoid sectarian violence, including the invasion of the Qaramite forces into the Abbasid Caliphate.

The origin

The word Sadah or Sadat (Arabic: سادة) is a plural form of word Arabic: سيد (Sayyid), while the word Ba 'Alawi or Bani 'Alawi means descendants of Alawi (Bā is a Hadhramaut dialect form of Bani). In sum, Ba'alawi are Sayyid people who have a blood descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through Alawi ibn Ubayd Allah ibn Ahmad al-Muhajir. Meanwhile, Alawiyyin (Arabic: العلويّن; al-`alawiyyin) Sayyid term is used to describe descendants of Ali bin Abi Talib from Husayn ibn Ali (Sayyids) and Hasan ibn Ali (Sharifs). All people of Ba 'Alawi are Alawiyyin Sayyids through Husayn ibn Ali, but not all people of Alawiyyin family are of Ba 'Alawi.

The Ba 'Alawi tariqa is a Sufi order founded by one of Ahmad al-Muhajir's descendant, Muhammad al-Faqih al-Muqaddam and named after and closely tied to the Ba 'Alawi family.

Imam al-Muhajir's grandson Alawi was the first Sayyid to be born in Hadhramaut, and the only one of Imam al-Muhajir's descendants to produce a continued line; the lineages of Imam al-Muhajir's other grandsons, Basri and Jadid, were cut off after several generations. Accordingly, Imam Al-Muhajir's descendants in Hadhramaut hold the name Bā 'Alawi ("descendants of Alawi").

The Ba 'Alawi Sadah have since been living in Hadhramaut in Southern Yemen, maintaining the Sunni Creed in the fiqh school of Shafi'i. In the beginning, a descendant of Imam Ahmad al-Muhajir who became scholar in Islamic studies was called Imam, then Sheikh, but later called Habib.

It was only since 1700 AD they began to migrate[2] in large numbers out of Hadhramaut across all over the globe, often to practice da'wah (Islamic missionary work).[3] Their travels had also brought them to the Southeast Asia. These hadhrami immigrants blended with their local societies unusual in the history of diasporas. For example, the House of Jamalullail of Perlis is descended from the Ba 'Alawi. Habib Salih of Lamu, Kenya was also descended from the Ba 'Alawi. In Indonesia, quite a few of these migrants married local women or men, sometimes nobility or even royal families, and their descendants then became sultans or kings, such as in Sultanate of Pontianak or in Sultanate of Siak Indrapura.[4] The Sultanates of Sulu, Lanao, and Maguindanao as well trace their origins to the esteemed lineage of the Ba Alawi Sada. These Sultanates follow the Shafi'i school of jurisprudence.[5][6]

Disputes and Rebuttals

[9]Questionable Lineage to Muhammad

Many people in Indonesia dispute even reject the validity of Ba 'Alawi sada linkage with Islamic prophet Muhammad. [10]This controversy arises from a conjecture that Ubaydillah figure who is claimed as a descendant of Ahmad al-Muhajir has not been mentioned in books until about five centuries after his lifetime.[11][12] This argument is based on a book (written in 6th century hijri ) named "Al-Sajarah Al-Mubarakah fi Ansaab Al-Thalibiyya" by Al-Fakhrurazi.[13][9] The book clearly states that Ahmad bin Isa had only three children: Muhammad, Ali, and Hussein.[9] Furthermore, their argument is also based on the results of Y-DNA tests conducted on 130 samples of individuals who claimed of the Ba Alawi clan,[14] which did not show any correspondence with the haplogroup of the Banu Quraysh.[15]

According to the deniers, the counterarguments against the narration are based on dreams, which are regarded as an invalid way and not based on facts.[16]

Many scholars criticize the method used by these deniers, especially requiring the lineage must be mentioned by a book in the time of the questionable person (Ubaidillah). The reasons[17] are based on the conventions accepted by scholars of Nasab around the world. As described in the book "رسائل فى علم نسب" (The summary of Genealogy science):[18]

  • The story of Ba'alawi sada spreads widely and is well known in many places and countries.
  • It is recorded in many credible books written by credible and trusted experts in the field of lineage.
  • Testimonials based on religious authority.
  • Recognized at least by one tribe.
  • Confession of a sane man that so-and-so is his son.

The name "Ba-Alawi" has been mentioned in some books in 8th centuries. A recent finding of the manuscript of Imam Tirmidhi written in around 589 H, hence a contemporary book debunking the deniers' claim, mentioned a person named Muhammad Sahib Mirbath from Ba'alawi family.[19][20]. A Genealogy scholar in 8th Hijri, Bahaudin Al-Janadi in his book, "As-Suluk Fi Thobaqotil Ulama Wal Muluk"[21] said:

Among them (Bait Abi Alawi) is Hasan bin Muhammad bin Ali Ba 'Alawi (who belongs to the Alawi lineage), he is a jurist who memorizes outside the head of the Al-Wajiz book is imam Ghozali" (volume 2, page 463).

There is no consensus among scholars regarding the use of DNA testing to trace distant lineage. Many Islamic scholars of genealogy, such as Mufti of Egypt Shaikh Shauqi 'Allam permits the use of DNA testing to establish lineage, but rejects its use to negate lineage. (He is referring to close lineage between father and child in this context.) [22]. Another scholar, Manshur Al-Hashimi Al-Amir states that DNA testing cannot be used to establish distant lineage, especially if that lineage has already been established through legal recognition and benefit (syuhrah wal istifadzah).However, it can be used to deny close lineage between father and child [1]. On the other side , the Nahdlatul Ulama conference in 2004 permitted the use of DNA testing to refute lineage.[23] Another scholar, named Manshur Al-Hashimi Al-Amir from Mecca, also says that DNA testing is unnecessary and not needed to proof a lineage of Ba'alawi that has been well known and popular.[2][18]

According to the Ba 'Alawi project on familytreedna,[24] individuals participating in the project exhibit a diverse range of haplogroups [14]. Individuals from the Al-Habshi (from Indonesia), Jamalul Lail, Al-Hadi (from Indonesia), and Al-Saqqaf families affiliated with the haplogroup G.[14] In contrast, the Bani Quraish, to which the Prophet Muhammad belonged,[25] are associated with haplogroup J1.[15] This finding suggests that the Ba Alawi lineage does not descend directly from the Prophet Muhammad, but rather has a genetically distinct line of ancestry.[26]

Some authoritative muslim scholars such as former Mufti of Egypt Shaikh Ali Jum'ah,[27] Sayyid Usamah Al-Azhari of Al-Azhar University in Egypt,[28] Iranian Ayatollah Sayyid Mahdi Rajai,[29][30] a Nasab scholar, and Saudi Arabian Geneolog Sharif Anas bin Yaqub Al-Kutaby [31], all asserted their opinion that Ba 'Alawi sada family lineage is indeed connected to Muhammad.

The deniers even question the validity of tomb of Ahmad Muhajir[32] is in Husaisa[33][34].[35][36] Despite many facts that Ahmad Ibn Isa migrated to Hadramaut and was buried is in Husaisa[37][38][39], the deniers claim that Ahmad Al-Muhajir never moved to Hadramaut. The authenticity of Ahmad bin Isa's tomb is questioned because it was not found at the end of the 9th Hijri century and was only discovered based on supernatural guidance around the 10th Hijri century.[40]
