The True Origins of the Semities

A video affirming the pure desert origin of the Arabians (semites). 
All through history the Arabian civilzations flourished in the fertile crescent, but the origins were in the desert. The desert region was significant because it was the source of the tribal federations that invaded the fertile crescent and established the ancient Arabian presence in Mesopotamia. 

The Semitic religions are the collective fruits of the thousands of years of dwelling the deserts. Farmers and city dwellers didn't have time to talk to GOD and recieve his orders :)

Mesopotamia was Sumerian in the south and Hurrian in the north before the Arabian invasion in the middle of the 3rd Millenia BC.

A group of scholars have said that there were exactly 40 fathers between Adnan and Abraham (Ibn Sa'd Volume 1, Page 56, Al-Tabari Volume 2, Page 191, Tarikh Ibn Khaldun Volume 2, Page 298 and Fathul-Bari Volume 6, Page 622.


Another line was suggested in the poetry of Qusayy b. Kilab:

The last of the Banu Khuza’ah kings, Hulayl b. Hubshiyyah (Habashiya) b. Salul b. Ka’b b. Amr al-Khuza’i, gave his heiress daughter Hubbah in marriage to the hero Qusayy b. Kilab of people known as the Banu Nadr. ( Ibn Kathir 1.60, Ibn Sa’d vol 1 p.71 states that the forbears of the Quraysh were known as the Banu Nadr. Nadr b. Kinanah was Qusayy’s great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather.)

Adnan b. Mayda b. Mani b. Udad b. Ka’b b. Yashjub b. Yarub b. Hamaysa b. Qaydhar (Kedar) b. Isma’il (pbuh) b. Ibrahim (pbuh). (The History of Al-Tabari, Volume VI, Muhammad At Mecca, translated and annotated by W. Montgomery Watt and M.V. McDonald [State University of New York Press, Albany, 1988], pp. 38-43; capital and underline emphasis ours)

The overwhelming majority of traditions and Muslim scholars state that Adnan is a descendant of Kedar the son of Ishmael The Beginning and the End, Ibn Kathir, Volume 3, Page 203

Qaydhar and Kedar

To learn more about Kedar see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qedarite

The references to Qaydhar or Qaydar are very important to those seeking to link this line with the references to Kedar appearing in various other places in the Old Testament, since Muslim scholars put these forward as possible texts prophesying the coming of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).   See Isaiah 42.11.

 Many Muslim scholars see Isaiah 42 (21:13-17) as predicting the coming of a servant of God who is associated with Qedar and interpret this as a reference to Mohammed

Adnan's Connection to Kedar 

Prophet Muhammad traced his ancestory to Adnan (Tabari, Volume 2, Pages191-194). 

From Adnan there were scholars who traced back Adnan to the Bibilical Kedar and from there to Ishmael and Abraham: 

Ma‘add Ibn ‘Adnan Ibn Udad Ibn Zayd Ibn Yaqdur Ibn Yaqdum Ibn Amin Ibn Manhar Ibn Sabuh Ibn al-Hamaysa‘ Ibn Yashjub Ibn Ya‘rub, Ibn al-‘Awwam Ibn Nabit Ibn Salman Ibn Haml Ibn QAYDHAR (Kedar) Ibn Isma‘il Ibn Ibrahim.(Ibn Sad Volume 1, Pages 50-53). 

... Muhammad b. al-Sa‘ib al-Kalbi, although I did not hear this from him myself, that he traced the descent as follows; Ma‘add b. ‘Adnan b. Udad b. al-Hamaysa‘ b. Salaman b. ‘Aws b. Buz b. Qamwal b. Ubayy b. al-‘Awwam b. Nashid b. Haza b. Bildas b. Yidlaf b. Tabakh b. Jaham b. Tahash b. Makha b. ‘Ayfa b. Abqar b. ‘Ubayd b. al-Da‘a b. Hamdan b. Sanbar b. Yathribi b. Yahzan b. Yalhan b.
