What is the Tribe of Quraysh?
« on: May 04, 2013, 11:59:53 PM »
It says on Wikipedia that Mohammad was a member of the Quraysh tribe that he is known for destroying.

Some things on the Internet refer to the Jewish tribe of Quraysh. Was there such a Jewish tribe? How were they related to Mohammad?

Genesis 16:12. " He shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.”
Ezekiel 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the horn, and the people be not warned, and the sword do come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

They were not Jews yet!

The Jewish tribe of Medina (at the time it was known as "Yathrib") which Muhammad massacred was the Qurayza tribe. Muhammad came from the pagan Quraysh tribe of Mecca.
