[edit] Ad and Thamud perished because of their decadence

I don't think that statement belongs anywhere near Wikipedia. 194.80.32.12 15:25, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

I think it's alright cuz the paragraph states how Arabs used to view them. Hakeem.gadi (talk) 13:40, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A lot more work

This article misses a lot. First of all, it does not really talk about how the tribes are classified. True, you have Qahtan and Adnan, but this classification is higher than a tribe; it is a "sha'b" and within in each are many tribes; within each tribe are many "butoon"...etc.

Second, you do not follow a proper naming system. As an example, you have listed a lot of tribes (as well as lower classifications as low as faseel or even bait (house)) under “banu” (children of…); actually they are all children of someone so using that is not practical since you can have everyone under that – the word banu does not even necessarily signify a tribe. You also used “Al”, which can be added to almost all of them. Al signifies that this is less than a tribe because it Al means “the house of”, which is a faseel, the lowest of formal classification.

Moreover, I don’t think you need maps as much as needing charts to show how each group descends from another. Example, Quraish decends from Mudhar (the tribe), Hashim (in the article Banu Hashim) descend from Quraish; and Banu Abdul Muttalib descend from Hashim. All of those descend from Adnan.

I’m not an expert in Nasab, but I can see that this needs a lot more study.
