The Arabs (Arabic: عرب ) are an ethnic group found throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
Origin
Some Arabs believe that they are descendants of Sem, son of Noah based on the writings of the Quaran. Keeping the surname or the last name is an important part of Arabic culture as some lineages can be traced far back to ancient times, as some Arabs claim they can trace their lineage back to Noah. The first Arabs known are those who came from Petra, the Nabataean capital (today, Petra is an archaeological site in Jordan, lying in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Wadi Araba). Other Arabs are known as Arabised-Arabs, including those who came from different parts of Mesopotamia (Arabic term: بين نهرين Bayn Nahrain "between two rivers") Egyptians, Sudanese, Berbers and other African Arabs.
Arab origin is divided into two major groups:
- al-ʻĀriba (العاربة) "Pure origin": They are the Arabs whom directly descendant of Noah through his son Sem through his sons Aram and Arfakhshaath. This Arab group is known as (Qahtanite), and those whom left Mesopotamia (land of Aram in particular) and settled in Yemen and built up one of the oldest centres of civilisation in the Near East in 1200 BC. These groups did not speak Arabic or one of its early forms, however, but spoke South Semitic languages such as Sabaic, Minaic, Qatabanic, and Hadramitic .Nebes, Norbert, "Epigraphic South Arabian," in von Uhlig, Siegbert, Encyclopaedia Aethiopica (Wiesbaden:Harrassowitz Verlag, 2005), pps.335. Famous noble Qahtanite Arab families from this group can be recognised in nowadays from their surename such as :Alqahtani, Alharbi, Alzahrani, Alghamedey, aws and khazraj (Alansari or Ansar), Aldosari, Alkhoza'a, Morra, Alojman, etc.
- al-Mustʻaribah (المستعربة) "Arabised Arabs": The term Arabised-Arabs can be used in three different cases:
- Is used for defining the Arabs who are descendants of Abraham through his son Ishmael through his Son Adnan, and they are known as Adnanite: it is defined to the Arabs who settled in Mecca when Abraham took his Egyptian wife Hagar or (Hajar) and his son Ishmael to Mecca. Ishmael was raised up with his mother Hagar and one noble Arab family who left from Yemen and settled in Mecca after the rainless took part in Yemen at that time). Ishmael learned Arabic language and he spoke it fluently during his life. And that is the main reason for calling this Arab group as Arabised. It is believed also that the Prophet of Islam Mohammad is descended of Adnanite Arab. Some famous noble Adnanite Arab families from this group are: Aldosari, Almaleek, Bani khaled, Bani kolab, etc.
- The term Arabised-Arabs is also used for defining the Arabs who spoke other Afro-Asiatic languages . They are Arabic speakers and regarded as Arabs in contemporary times.
- Bedouin-Arabs whom came from the Assyrian desert are also known as Arabised-Arabs.
