Hadith: "On Judgment Day, every means shall be cut off, and every lineage severed, except my lineage."

Harun Yahya states regarding maternal descent from the Holy Prophet (S):

DESCENT FROM THE PROPHET CAN ALSO COME FROM THE MATERNAL SIDE AS FROM THE PATERNAL: Among the Ottomans it was sufficient for ones paternal line of descent to go back to our Prophet (saas) to be regarded as a sayyid. However, it is also possible to be a sayyid on ones mothers side only. The rank of sayyid goes back to the daughter of our Prophet (saas) and Hazrat Fatima (ra), the mother of Hazrat Hassan (ra) and Hazrat Hussain (ra). Our Prophet (saas) also had male children, but these died at an early age. The Prophets (saas) line was thus continued through his daughter. As it can be understood, one can thus be a sayyid through the maternal line as can be from the paternal . The great Islamic scholars Ibrahim Hakki Erzurumi (1703-1780) and Abdul Qadir Gaylani (1078-1166) were both sayyids on their mothers sides.

Translation of Qasidah Ghawthiyya:

A Deputy of Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil al-Haqqani, Sayyid Ahmed Amiruddin, is a 26th generation maternal grandson of Ghawth al-Adham Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani. This video of Qasidah Ghawthiyya, includes his family tree to Ghawth al-Adham.

Translation of Qasidah Ghawthiyya:

"Love gave me the goblets of union to drink, so I said to my wine: "Come here toward me!" It came running and walking toward me in tumblers,so I experienced ecstasy in my drunkenness among the Masters. I said to all the Cardinal Poles: " Assemble at my tavern, and enter, for you are my men! Experience ecstasy, and drink, you are my soldiers!' So the cupbearer of the [Lord's] people was quick to bring me sufficient supply. You drank what I had left over after I got drunk,
but you did not reach my exaltation and my state of connection. High is your station, each and all, and yet my station is above you, higher still. In the presence of nearness I am on my own; the Lord of Majesty disposes of me, and He is enough for me! I am the grey falcon of every Shaikh. And who among men has received the same as I! He clad me in a robe in honor's style, and crowned me with perfection's crowns. He made me aware of an ancient secret, invested me with rank and gave me all I asked. He has appointed me over all the Cardinal Poles, so my decision is effective in every case. Were I to cast my innermost being into the oceans they would all become a depression in the void. Were I to cast my innermost being upon the mountains, they would be leveled low and disappear among the sands. Were I to cast my innermost being upon a fire, it would die out and be extinguished by the secret of my state. Were I to cast my innermost being upon a corpse, it would rise up through the power of the Lord and walk for me. Neither months nor long ages of time
pass and go by without my getting news. They inform me of what is to come and to happen, and let me know when to cease from debate. My disciple, experience ecstasy, have fun, relax, sing, do what you will, for the name is a high one. My disciple, do not fear! Allah, my Lord, has given me eminence; I have attained the heights.
Drums sounded in heaven and on the earth,
and the sergeant of bliss appeared to me.
The lands of Allah are my kingdom under my rule, and my time before my transformation has been happy for me. I looked upon all the cities of Allah together as a mere mustard,seed compared to my connection [with Him]. I studied knowledge till I became a Cardinal Pole, and gained felicity from the Lord of lords. My men are fasting in the midday heat, like pearls in the darkness of the night.
Every saint has a precedent, and I
am in the footstep of the Prophet, the full moon of perfection. A Makkan Hijazi Hashimi Prophet is my ancestor by whom I obtained friends/followers. Who is like me among the Awliya' of Allah and like me in knowledge and action.

My disciple, do not fear a traitor, for I am a resolute slayer in the fray.

I am al-Jili Muhyi'd-din is my name,
and my banners are on the mountain peaks.
I am al-Hasani and the inner chamber is my station,and my feet are on the necks of men. Well am I known by the name of 'Abd al-Qadir, and my forefather is the very master of perfection."

  • FYI sayyedbostam Sayyid Ahmed Amiruddin is a Sayyid from both sides and the point of this video is to emphasize his relation to Ghawth al-Adham (rad), even though it is maternal. Ghawth al-Adham who declared, "My disciple, do not fear a slanderer, for I am a resolute slayer in the fray" will himself defend the son of his daughter from your slander.

  • Turkish International Islamic Scholar and Scientist Harun Yahya wrote: "Among the Ottomans it was sufficient for ones paternal line of descent to go back to our Prophet (saas) to be regarded as a sayyid.
