The Lineage of the Arabs and Whether Ibrahim Is the Father of All Arabs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is Ibrahim (peace be upon him) the father of all the Arabs? And are 'Adnan and Qahtan sons of Isma'il (peace be upon him)?

Answer:
No. The Arabs are divided into two groups: the Qahtanites and the 'Adnanites. The Qahtanites are called the pure Arabs, and the 'Adnanites are called the Arabized Arabs. This is because Isma'il (peace be upon him) married among the Arabs. He married among the Arabs, and they bore him the 'Adnanite descendants, so they are Arabized Arabs.
