Syed's are the direct descendants of The Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) Of Islam. The Prophet's daughter Syeda Bibi Fatima-tuz Zahra (R.A) was married to Hazrat Ali ibne Abu-Talib (R.A), (Fourth Caliph of Caliph of Rashideen) and who was also the youngest cousin of the Prophet of Islam. The other descendants of Ali ibne Abu-Talib(R.A) from his other wifes are named as Alawi's ( Although syed's are Hashmi Sadaat's ( Title Hashmi was replaced by Syed in past and is in current use since then just to identify and to show and emphasize the direct link to our Prophet's Heritage ) and Alavi's are Hashmi Alavi's ). The Prophet Of Islam's tree goes far back to the prophet Ismail (Alaihis-Sallam) (Ishmael) son of Prophet Ibrahim (Alahis-Sallam) (Abraham) (Whose father was Taric but not Azar->Who was Ibrahim' uncle) It Is a respectful and honorable that as Muslims in good faith we all uses numerous honorable names,Title and Laqabaats to AnHazrat Muhammed Prophet Of Islam PBUH as An-Hazrat Aboul-Qasim Muhammed -ie- Mustafa Ahmed-ie -Mujtaba (S.A.W.S) Sahib-It Taj-Ie-Wal Merajie Huzoor Sarwar-Ie Konain Khatim-Un Nabaieen Wa-Katmul- Mursaleen Wo Rahmat-Ul- Lil Alaaimeen Alaihis Sallat Was Sallam ( Prophet of Islam) and many more that are assigned attributes by Allah (God the Almighty) in our Holy Book (Qur'an) to our Prophet. ( Aboul-Qasim is the Kunyat of our Prophet and is being used by the direct descendants since then ). By the way Qur'an is also wrongly miss-spelled as Koran in numerous texts.

Sayyed's (Arabic: سيد) (plural sādah / sadaat where 't' is a silent letter in Arabic: سادة) literally means Mister. As an honorific title given to males accepted as who are the descendants of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad through his grandsons, Hasan ibn Ali and Husain ibn Ali, who were also the sons of the prophet's daughter Fatima tuz Zahra (also named as Hassany and Hosseiny Syed's " Alai-Rasool" )and his son-in-law Ali ibn Abi Talib ( Ali's descendent's are also called as "Aulad-ie-Ali"). Daughters of sayyids are given the titles Sayyeda, Syarifah, or Sharifah. Children of a Sayyida mother but a non-Sayyid father cannot be attributed the title of Sayyed; however, Syed's may also claim the title ' Mir' but never Mirza " who are the descendents of Mongols " (out of question) In the Arab world or any where else in the world as it matter itself.
