Ahlul Bait....Good news for Shariff, Sayyid, Habib...Family tree DNA..

For almost 1,600 years, the title Sharif, Sayyed, or Habib has been bestowed on Muslims who have been able to trace their roots back to the Prophet Mohammed through intricate family trees, oral histories and genealogical records. But now an American DNA lab says it may have identified the DNA signature of descendants of the Prophet Mohammed, and perhaps the prospect of a direct, more accurate means of confirming or identifying such a connection.

Family Tree DNA, a genealogy and genetics-testing company in Houston, Texas, says it made the discovery after several clients, reputed by oral family histories and some supporting documentation to be descended from the Prophet Mohammed, asked to have their paternal DNA sequences mapped.

sabda rasullullah saw -'mereka (ahlul bait) adalah keturunanku,dicipta dari darah dagingku dan dikurnia pengertian serta pengetahuanku. celakalah orang dari umatku yang mendustakan keutamaan mereka dan memutuskan hubungan denganku melalui (pemutusan hubungan dengan) mereka. kepada orang-orang seperti ini ALLAH SWT tidak akan menurunkan syafaatku(pertolonganku)'... riwayat Al Hakim berasal dari Zaid bin Arqam r.a.
