As my name implied;i am being told by my ancestors that we are descendants of the holy prophet of islam;people around us in the northern part of nigeria know and regard us as such;when i asked my father and uncles they told me that our ancestors migrated from medina.i am curious about about this DNA project.it will be a great achievement in the world genetics breakthrough if this project could achieve its goal.somebody like me and my brothers in some cities and towns in nigeria,west africa would be glad to volunteer ourselves as samples for the project to succeed,because it is all about us-the sharifs and sayyeds.thanks and Allah help you to succed.

This proposition is a rushed oversimplification of a coplex problem. First of all we know from the prophet himself that he is a descendant of Ibraham. But his descent is not proven to be of paternal line. The prophet himself stopped at Kinanah in his lineage apparently calling it a grndmother rather than a patrilineal anscestor. His own descendants carried the habit of carrying the Sharif title from both matrilineal and patrilineal side. That is precisely why the sharifs DNA project has temendous variety in YDNA haplogroups.

At first, I was puzzled by this post: how can we trace Y-DNA through Muhammad’s daughter? Then I read TFA, and here’s the bit that makes it clear:

“The Prophet Mohammed had no surviving sons but his daughter Fatima married her paternal second cousin, Ali, producing two grandsons: Hassan and Hussein. Both have a traceable line of male descendants.

Because Ali and the Prophet Mohammed share the same grandfather, their paternal DNA is identical.”

Blaine, thanks for another interesting post!

I agree with you about this one terrific job for Family Tree DNA of the Prophet Mohammed, if these will be completely proven to be very useful then will be able find our ancestors. Thank you for this article. Sommerhuse Danmark's last blog post..Luksus sommerhuse
