[edit] Origins and Family Tree of the Harrak Family
Harrak famillies originate from the Srif tribe known also as Ahl Srif, and they are from the Idrissites Alawite Musawite branch. Al Harrak is one of the sons of Musa Son of Mashish son of Abi Bakr[1][2]son of Ali son of Abu Hurma son of Issa son of Salam al-Arouss son of Ahmad Mizwar son of Ali Haydara son of Muhammad son of Idris II son of Idris I son of Abdullah al-Kamel son of al-Hassan al-Muthanna son of al-Sibt Hasan ibn Ali son of Ali Ibn Abi Talib and Fatima al-Zahraa, doughter of Prophet Muhammad.[3][4]
The great grand father Sidi Muhammad al Harrak was a leading Suffi figure who died in 1884. He was famous of his known Religious and wisdom book called Diwan al Harrak. The Harrak religious institution (Zawya) carries over the preservation of Sidi Muhammad heritage.[5]
Diwan Al Harrak is a valuable source that is often used as reference in the study of religious literature history in Morocco.[6] The Harrak and other Sayyid families in Morocco were subject to study and investigation by senior Muslim scholars like Ayatollah Muhammad Ali Taskhiri who is the head of Iran's Global Assembly for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thoughts. The later is known as moderate and open to not only the intra-Islamic discourse, but also intra-religious discourse and understanding. Russian President Putin in a Moscow Religion Confrence, where Ayatollah Taskhiri represented the Muslim world, qualified the efforts of the later as cornerstone.[7]
Sayyid families in Morocco have suffered the same fate their cousins met in Iraq. Ashura has repeated itself in the Maghreb about a century after the Karbala Tragedy. It has been reported by the Judge and scholar of his time Muhamad Bin Ali Hashlaf Al-Jazaeri that over 400 memberes of the desscendents of Mulay Idriss were killed by the army of Musa Ibn Abi Al-Afia al Meknassi.[8] After that, the descendents of prophet Muhamad migrated to the mountains mainly -Jabal Al Alam and Hajar al Nasr- in Northern Morocco (Larache-Tétouan-Tangier Triangle) to flee persecution. However, that did not last too long like in the caliphate controlled territories. In Morocco after only decades of persecution, The Sayyid families regained recognition and protection by most dynasties that followed the early persecution decades.
