Syed (Arabic: ‫( )سيد‬plural sādah) is an honorific title that is given to males accepted
as descendants of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through his grandsons,
Hasan ibn Ali and Hussain ibn Ali, who were the sons of his daughter Fatima Zahra
and son-in-law Ali ibn Abi Talib.

In the history of Islamic mysticism or Sufism, many of the Sufi masters, famous for
their enlightened personalities and a wide-ranging scholarly authority in matters of
religion have been Sayyids by descent. There has been many Non-Syed teachers of
religion in the Islamic tradition who have enjoyed an equal, if not more, regrard
among the muslim populations at large, but the most frequent occurance of people
bearing the name Sayyid/Syed or claiming an attestable connection to the family of
Muhammad, could be explained by the fact that, since in the Islamic tradition too, just
like the Judeo-christian Biblical traditions, the Spirit of God is readily accessible to
the divinely appointed messengers, their descendants too, upon successful realization
are bound to play a similar role in the organization and guidance of their respective
communities as the original messengers did in their lifetime, which will remain, by
far, the best example and the guiding light of the prophetic mission.
