The following historical dynasties and people all claim to be paternally descended from Ali ibn Abu Talib (Muhammad's cousin) and should have the same Y DNA.

The Hashemite royals of Hejaz (and Jordan and Iraq)

The Senussi royals of Libya (and other Idrisids in Morocco)

The Alaouite royals of Morocco

The Rassid royals of North Yemen (and Houthis)

Al-Mahdi family of Sudan (Alexander Siddig and his uncle Sadiq al-Mahdi)

The Aga Khan of Nizari Ismailis.

All black turbaned 12er Shiite clerics like Ayatollah Khameini and Ayatollah Sistani and Sayyid Nasrallah and Misa al-Sadr and Muqtada al-Sadr.

The Safavids.


The Ba 'Alawi Sadah of Hadramaut.

Dors anyone have Y DNA results on these families and people? I think I saw Jordanian Hashemite and Libyan Senussi Y haplogroups somewhere and they DID NOT match each other meaning one of them is fake.

The political and religious legitimacy of all of them rely on their ancestry.
