The Quraysh tribe, known for its significant role in the history of Islam, particularly as the tribe of the Prophet Muhammad, does not exist in the same structured form as it did in the past. While the original clan has largely dissolved over the centuries, the descendants of the Quraysh still exist.
Today, many people in the Arab world claim descent from the Quraysh tribe. They often identify with the tribe through family lineage and heritage. The term ‘Qurashi’ can apply to families and individuals who trace their ancestry back to the Quraysh, which includes notable families in regions like Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.
In modern times, the identity of the Quraysh tribe has transformed, and while its political and social structures have changed dramatically, the cultural identity remains alive through those who associate with it. Events, commemorations, and discussions around the Quraysh tribe’s history continue to be significant in understanding Arab identity and heritage.
