The Ba 'Alawi sada ({{langx|ar|سادة باعلوي|sādat bā'alawiy}}), or the House of Ba 'Alawi ({{langx|ar|آل باعلوي|Āl Bā'alawiy}}), is a group of Hadhrami Sayyid families and social group originating in Hadhramaut in the southwest corner of the Arabian Peninsula. They trace their lineage to Ahmad al-Muhajir who was born in 873 (260H). Ahmad al-Muhajir emigrated emigrated from Basra to Hadhramaut{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aCgzr5jKQEkC&pg=PA12 |last=Bang |first=Anne K. |date=2003 |title=Sufis and Scholars of the Sea: Family Networks in East Africa, 1860–1925 |publisher=Routledge |page=12|isbn=978-0-415-31763-4 }} in 931 (318H) to avoid sectarian violence, including the invasion of the Qaramite forces into the Abbasid Caliphate.

They follow the Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah methodology on the Shafi'i school in jurisprudence, and the Ash'ari school in faith, and they have their own way of seeking God, which is the Al-Baalawi Tariqah, one of the Sufi orders spread in the Islamic world.{{cite book|archive-date=10 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190610215739/http://ia800209.us.archive.org/1/items/sehsy786_gmail_20160208_1459/كتاب%20%20المنهج%20السوي%20شرح%20أصول%20طريقة%20السادة%20آل%20باعلوي%20%20للحبيب%20زين.pdf |author-link=زين بن سميط |date=2005 |first=زين بن إبراهيم |last=بن سميط |location=تريم، اليمن |publisher=دار العلم والدعوة |title=المنهج السوي شرح أصول طريقة السادة آل باعلوي |url=https://ia800209.us.archive.org/1/items/sehsy786_gmail_20160208_1459/%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%A8%20%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%86%D9%87%D8%AC%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%88%D9%8A%20%D8%B4%D8%B1%D8%AD%20%D8%A3%D8%B5%D9%88%D9%84%20%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%82%D8%A9%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D8%A7%D8%AF%D8%A9%20%D8%A2%D9%84%20%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%88%D9%8A%20%20%D9%84%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A8%20%D8%B2%D9%8A%D9%86.pdf}}
The Ba 'Alawis or Bani 'Alawi are known for preaching Islam. The founder of their order was Muhammad bin Ali Baalawi, known as "Al-Faqih Al-Muqaddam", who, during his time, Sayyid families in Hadhramaut were seen as a threat by other tribes. Due to regional instability, it was normal during his study that Muhammad bin Ali put a sword on his lap for protection. Muhammad grew tired of the tension and bloodshed in the ranks of the believers, thus symbolically broke his sword and announced that his Tariqa and the way of Alawi Sayyids are non-violence and renounced any tariqa that uses violence.{{cite book |author=Amin Buxton |title=Imams of The Valley |publisher=Dar al-Turath al-Islami |year=2012 |location=Western Cape, South Africa}} It is believed the dissemination of Islam in Southeast Asia was carried out by traders and clerics of Hadhramaut who transited in India since 15th century as the Sufism, their practices and its influences can be traced strongly in the region.{{cite book |author1=J.

They were at the top of the social ladder in Hadhramaut because of their esteemed lineage, significant social and financial contributions, and their influence, spreading the principles of Islam to the people, establishing mosques and religious schools, and advancing knowledge through intellectual centers, which solidified their prominent position in the society.{{cite web|archive-date=11 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200511173253/https://www.alyemeny.com/article/642 |first=عبد العزيز محمد |last=السقاف |title=العلويون في اليمن.. درس تاريخي |url=https://www.alyemeny.com/article/642#.XrU9ekBuLHo |website=اليمني الجديد}}
Etymology
The origin of the name Ba 'Alawi goes back to one of their ancestors, Alawi bin Ubaidillah bin Ahmad al-Muhajir, the first of al-Muhajir's descendants to be named 'Alawi. The use of the name Ba 'Alawi came after they were influenced by the Hadharem in their way of referring to their fathers, and the meaning of (Ba) among the Hadharem is "children of".{{cite book |trans-title=A gift to the beloved in clarifying the doubtful lineage |archive-date=18 March 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200318023220/https://ia800400.us.archive.org/16/items/olomnasb_ymail_20160603_0755/إتحاف%20الأحبة%20في%20بيان%20مشتبه%20النسبة.pdf |first=أيمن بن محمد |last=الحبشي |title=إتحاف الأحبة في بيان مشتبه النسبة |url=https://ia800400.us.archive.org/16/items/olomnasb_ymail_20160603_0755/إتحاف%20الأحبة%20في%20بيان%20مشتبه%20النسبة.pdf}}
However, the Ba 'Alawis do not use these two surnames except in biographies and genealogies, and a person is usually attributed to his tribe, but there are some individuals from Bani Alawi who are still called Ba 'Alawi because they do not belong to any of the known tribes.
The word Sadah or Sadat ({{langx|ar|سادة}}) is a plural form of word Sayyid ({{langx|ar|سيد}}), while the word Ba 'Alawi or Bani 'Alawi means descendants of Alawi. In sum, Ba'alawi are Sayyids who have a blood descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through Alawi ibn Ubayd Allah ibn Ahmad al-Muhajir. Meanwhile, Alawiyyin ({{langx|ar| العلويّن}}; {{transliteration|ar| ALA|al-`alawiyyin}}), a Sayyid term that is used to describe descendants of Ali bin Abi Talib from Husayn ibn Ali (Sayyids) and Hasan ibn Ali (Sharifs). All people of Ba 'Alawi are Alawiyyin Sayyids through Husayn ibn Ali, but not all people of Alawiyyin family are of Ba 'Alawi. In certain contexts, the term ʿAlawiyyīn is used in a more circumscribed manner by Ba 'Alawis to refer specifically to the descendants of ʿAlawī ibn ʿUbaydillāh ibn Aḥmad al-Muhājir.
Origin
Imam al-Muhajir's grandson Alawi was the first Sayyid to be born in Hadhramaut, and the only one of Imam al-Muhajir's descendants to produce a continued line in Hadhramaut; The lines of his other grandsons—Basri (originally named Ismāʿīl) and Jadīd—ceased after a few generations. Accordingly, Imam Al-Muhajir's descendants in Hadhramaut hold the name Bā
Ahmad Al-Muhajir's descendants continued to move through the valley's villages, settling in the village of Sumal for a time before moving to the village of Bayt Jubair. In 521 AH, Ali bin Alawi, known as "Khali' Qasam," a descendant of the Al-Muhajir, moved to the city of Tarim and made it his home for himself and his children. Since then, Tarim has become the headquarters of the Bani Alawi to this day.{{Cite web |last=Ibn Sumaith |first=Zein ibn Ibrahim |title=Al-Manhaj as-Sawiy |url=https://ia801300.us.archive.org/24/items/sehsy786_gmail_20160208_1459/%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%A8%20%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%86%D9%87%D8%AC%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%88%D9%8A%20%D8%B4%D8%B1%D8%AD%20%D8%A3%D8%B5%D9%88%D9%84%20%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%82%D8%A9%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D8%A7%D8%AF%D8%A9%20%D8%A2%D9%84%20%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%88%D9%8A%20%20%D9%84%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A8%20%D8%B2%D9%8A%D9%86.pdf}}
The Ba 'Alawi Sadah have since been living in Hadhramaut in Southern Yemen, maintaining the Sunni Creed in the fiqh school of Shafi'i. In the beginning, a descendant of Imam Ahmad al-Muhajir who became scholar in Islamic studies was called Imam, then Sheikh, but later called Habib. The first person from the Bā ʿAlawī clan to be called Habib was Al-Ḥabīb ʿUmar bin ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-ʿAṭṭās (d. 1072 AH / 1661 CE).
It was only since 1700 AD they began to migrate{{cite web |title=Bani alawi migration map |url=http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/6217/peta20hijrah20bani20alari0.png |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719115211/http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/6217/peta20hijrah20bani20alari0.png |archive-date=2011-07-19 |website=img47.imageshack.us}} in large numbers out of Hadhramaut across all over the globe, often to practice da'wah (Islamic missionary work).{{cite book |title=Readings on Islam in Southeast Asia |editor-last1=Ibrahim |editor-first1=Ahmad |editor-last2=Siddique |editor-first2=Sharon |editor-last3=Hussain |editor-first3=Yasmin |name-list-style=amp |publisher=Institute of Southeast Asian Studies |date=December 31, 1985 |isbn=978-9971-988-08-1 |page=407}} Their travels had also brought them to the Southeast Asia. These Hadhrami immigrants blended with their local societies unusual in the history of diasporas. For example, the House of Jamalullail of Perlis is descended from the Ba 'Alawi. Habib Salih of Lamu, Kenya, was also descended from the Ba 'Alawi. In Indonesia, quite a few of these migrants married local women or men, sometimes nobility or even royal families, and their descendants then became sultans or kings, such as in Sultanate of Pontianak or in Sultanate of Siak Indrapura.{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gBTbS4eNGp8C&q=hadhrami+married+local+women+indonesia&pg=PA9 |title=Hadhrami Traders, Scholars and Statesmen in the Indian Ocean, 1750s to 1960s |volume=57 |editor1-last=Freitag |editor1-first=Ulrike |editor2-last=Clarence-Smith |editor2-first=William G. |name-list-style=amp |publisher=BRILL |year=1997 |page=9 |isbn=978-90-04-10771-7}} The Sultanates of Sulu, Lanao, and Maguindanao as well trace their origins to Ba Alawi Sada.{{Cite journal |last=Majul |first=Cesar Adib |date=1981 |title=An Analysis of the "Genealogy of Sulu" |url=https://www.persee.fr/doc/arch_0044-8613_1981_num_22_1_1677 |journal=Archipel |volume=22 |issue=1 |pages=167–182 |doi=10.3406/arch.1981.1677}} These Sultanates follow the Shafi'i school of jurisprudence.{{cite book |last1=Abdurahman |first1=Habib Jamasali Sharief Rajah Bassal |title=The Sultanate of Sulu |date=2002 |publisher=Astoria Print. & Publishing Company |location=University of Michigan |isbn=9789719262701|pages=88 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_QpxAAAAMAAJ&q=balfaqi%20alawi%20sulu%20sultan}}
Genealogy
According to Ja'far al-Labani, a historian from Mecca: "Most of the Sayyids living in Mecca and Medina are the Ba'alawis, whose memory spread in Hadhramaut, and then they came from Hadhramaut to Mecca, Medina and other countries of Allah, so these gentlemen are the ones who are handed over to preserve their genealogy, and they are known to the captain of the Sayyids in Mecca and Medina, and the captain of the Sayyids is none other than them, and their births are controlled wherever they are, and their names are enumerated, and their genealogy is preserved in the well-known way. Their genealogies are preserved in the manner known to them, in order to divide their revenues from endowments and the like, and whoever else belongs to the pure lineage, whether Egyptian, Levantine, Roman, or Iraqi, although there are many of them, they are not recognized because their genealogies are not set on a sound basis by the public, but some of them may have evidence that gives some doubt about the truth of their claim." This is in addition to the Sharifs of Mecca from the Qatadi clan, who have always resided in the Hejaz and never migrated from the region. Of course, as all genealogists know, almost none of our conclusions about ancestry/descendancy are 100% proven, especially when they are based at least in part on oral and paper records.{{Cite web |last=Bettinger |first=Blaine |date=2009-06-19 |title=Family Tree DNA Discovers Y-DNA Signature That Might Represent the Prophet Mohammed |url=https://thegeneticgenealogist.com/2009/06/19/family-tree-dna-discovers-y-dna-signature-that-might-represent-the-prophet-mohammed/ |access-date=2024-09-07 |website=The Genetic Genealogist |language=en-US}}

The genealogies of the Ba Alawis were preserved in a large genealogy ledger located in fifteen volumes, compiled by the famous genealogist Abd al-Rahman al-Mashhūr, author of "Shams al-Dhahira"(1340 Hijri), which was the approved tree, and is still recorded to this day in the Hejaz, Yemen, Southeast Asian countries and East Africa. Its original version was preserved in Tarim in Hadhramaut, and was adopted by the Al-Rabithah Al-Alawiyah (The Association of Alawiyyin) in Jakarta, Indonesia.{{cite book|archive-date=2 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200102173710/https://ia801300.us.archive.org/15/items/chams-addahira/chams-addahira.pdf |author-link=عبد الرحمن بن محمد المشهور |author1=المشهور |date= |first=عبد الرحمن بن محمد |location=جدة، السعودية |publisher=عالم المعرفة |title=شمس الظهيرة |trans-title=Noon Sun |url=https://ia801300.us.archive.org/15/items/chams-addahira/chams-addahira.pdf}} There is a well-known genealogy ledger reference by al-Musnid 'Idrus ibn 'Umar al-Habshi, and another genealogy ledger reference that was preserved in Mecca and was transcribed by al-Qadi Abu Bakr ibn Ahmad ibn Husayn al-Habshi. In addition to these general genealogical trees, there were also specific genealogical trees for many tribes of Bani Alawi, in which they record their genealogy.

= Lineage =
After the descendants of Ahmad bin Isa al-Muhajir settled in Tarim, some governors asked them to prove their lineage to confirm what they claimed, and that this should be done by a judicial ruling, and it was said that Tarim had three hundred muftis at that time, so Ali bin Muhammad bin Jadid, who died in 620 AH, traveled to Iraq and proved the lineage to the judges there and witnessed it. Then these witnesses met the Hadhramaut pilgrims in Mecca and testified to them. When these Hadhrami pilgrims came to Hadhramaut and testified to the proof, the people recognized their lineage, and the sheikhs and scholars unanimously agreed on this.{{cite book|author-link=صالح بن علي الحامد |author1=الحامد |date= |first=صالح بن علي |location=صنعاء، اليمن |page=309 |publisher=مكتبة الإرشاد |title=تاريخ حضرموت |volume=الأول}}
When Ahmad al-Muhajir arrived in Hadhramaut, he still had family and relatives in Basra. His son Muhammad remained in Basra to manage their property, along with his other sons, Ali and Hussein. His grandson, Jadid bin 'Ubaydillah (his diminutive real name of Abdullah) went to see those properties and visit relatives. Al-Muhajir's children and grandchildren invested in Hadhramaut for many years from the proceeds of their money in Iraq. They maintained contact with their ancestral homeland and cousins for a few generations, receiving news and stories that kept their heritage and history alive.{{cite book|archive-date=27 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200127001136/http://ia802702.us.archive.org/4/items/432789432789324/alamam-almhajr.pdf |last1=شهاب |date= |first1=محمد ضياء |last2=عبد الله بن نوح |location=جدة، السعودية |publisher=دار الشروق |title=الإمام المهاجر |url=http://ia802702.us.archive.org/4/items/432789432789324/alamam-almhajr.pdf}}
== Questioning their lineage ==
Centuries later, some questioned their lineage, citing a genealogy book published in the 20th century attributed to Al-Fakhr al-Razi. This book did not mention a son named 'Ubaydillah for Ahmad bin Isa, recording only three sons: Muhammad, Ali, and Hussein.{{cite book|archive-date=2021-04-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210417221415/https://books.rafed.net/view.php?type=c_fbook&b_id=1718&page=169 |author-link=فخر الدين الرازي |author1=الرازي |first=محمد بن عمر بن الحسن |location=قم، إيران |page=112 |publisher=مكتبة آية الله العظمى المرعشي النجفي |title=الشجرة المباركة في أنساب الطالبيّة |url=https://books.rafed.net/view.php?type=c_fbook&b_id=1718&page=169}}
=== DNA analysis ===
In 2000, FamilyTreeDNA was established and initiated a global project to identify human origins through DNA analysis with the aim of reconnecting the Jewish diaspora around the world.{{cite web|archive-date=2021-01-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210128114050/https://www.jewishvoice.org/learn/jewish-family-finder |title=Jewish Family Finder |url=https://www.jewishvoice.org/learn/jewish-family-finder |website=Jewish Voice}}{{cite web|archive-date=15 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210115181850/https://jgsi.org/event-2490805 |title="General DNA and Genealogy" and "The DNA of the Jewish People" by Bennett Greenspan |url=https://jgsi.org/event-2490805 |url-status=dead |website=Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois}} The company classified the results of the analysis samples sent to it into different genetic lines based on the male (Y) chromosome and by comparison with other samples that had been examined and classified. When some members of the Ba Alawi performed this genetic analysis, some of their results revealed the haplogroup G lineage, which is predominantly found in the Caucasus region. A few doubt that their lineage to the Prophet's Household is authentic, claiming that the lineage in which Arabs predominate is the haplogroup J1 lineage. However, this opinion is contested{{Cite web |title=Famous DNA:Introduction - ISOGG Wiki |url=https://isogg.org/wiki/Famous_DNA:Introduction |access-date=2025-03-02 |website=isogg.org}} as there is no evidence to support the DNA patterns of the true descendants of Prophet Muhammad. Numerous other prominent lineages claiming descent from the Prophet Muḥammad—such as the Idrissids, Jaylanis, Rifais, Rizvis, Naqvis and others, also exhibit similar genealogical discrepancies.
