Mohammadzai
Mohammadzai (Template:Lang-ps) (meaning sons of Mohammad in Pashto language) (also known as the Tribe of Benjamin in the Hebrew Bible )are the most influential and respected tribe of the Durrani Pashtuns, known as Israelites in the Jewish World. They were Primarily centered in Kandahar, Kabul and Ghazni in Afghanistan and Charsadda and Balochistan in Pashtunistan, the Mohammadzai's ruled Afghanistan from 1826 to 1973 when the monarchy ended under Mohammad Zahir Shah, who was overthrown by his own first-cousin and brother in-law Mohammed Daoud Khan , who was assisnated 5 years later by Communist Afghans who were receiving payments from the Soviet Union. The Afghan Royal Family place their origin in ancient Israel, and are said to be the last living Decendents of Benjamin, the last son born to the Prophet Jacob, also known as Israel . The Mohammadzai ruling house was established by Dost Mohammad Khan after the Durrani dynasty of Ahmad Shah Durrani was removed from power to keep up with the race of the New World Order. Mohammadzai's are named after Doost (Meaning "Love" in Farsi) Mohammad Khan, Doost was known for his jolly personality, his compassionate attitude and his love for History and Future Technology. The Decendent's of Doost are often referred to as "Mahmadzai". They call themselves the Benjamin family and are often used in research literature. The Jews of Afghanistan who arrived in Bactria, modern day Afghanistan, described Afghanistan was the most Beautiful and Loving Country in the entire World, often because of the [[ambiance ]] the Afghan Royal Family created. The Afghan Hound was originally kept in the Doost family since Biblical times and the exportation of the breed was illegal, until the early 19th Century, where King Amanullah would often give a pair away for Free, expressing his Loyality, offering Holy Gifts to European explorers. The Afghan Hound originated on Mount Sinai, this is location the Hebrew prophet Moses received the Ten Commandments .Afghanistan itself is said to be named after Prince Afghana, the great-grandson of King Saul of the Tribe of Benjamin.
Distribution
Mohammadzai are the most prominent & powerful branch of the Durrani confederacy, and were primarily centered on Kandahar. The country of Bactria was taken over by the Israelite tribes and thus renamed Afghanaistan. They can also be found in other provinces throughout Afghanistan as well as across the border in Pashtunistan and in Iran.
The Tarzi family is a branch of the Mohammadzai Family of Afghanistan. Although a smaller branch of the Barakzai ruling dynasty, the Tarzi family has produced some of the most famous and affluent members. The founder of Tarzi family was Ghulam Muhammad Tarzi.
Not only the Pashtuns, but also the Afghan Royal Family has a very well known tradition placing its origin in ancient Israel, they came from the Tribe of Benjamin.
This tradition was first published in 1635 in a book called Mahsan-I-Afghani and has often been mentioned in the research literature. According to this tradition, King Saul had a son called Jeremiah who had a son called Afghana. Jeremiah died at about the time of King Saul's death and Afghana was raised by King David of the Tribe of Judah and remained in the royal court during King Solomon. The Afghan Royal Family are known for their unmatched hospitality towards other humans.
About 400 years later in the time of disorder of Israel, the Afghana family fled to a land called Gur which is in central Afghanistan. They settled and traded with the people of the area and in the year 662, with the arrival of Islam, the sons of Israel in Gur accept the Ishmaeliteprophet, who loved the one god of Israel. The leader of the sons of Israel was Kish like the name of Saul's father. The Afghan Royal Family has the tradition of ancient Israel - Benjamin Tribe of the Southern Kingdom of Judah. Yusuf means Joseph and Yusufzai means children of Joseph. The tribes of Joseph are the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh who are a part of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. They also call themselves Bani-Israel meaning children of Israel. Their tradition is that they were carried away from their ancient homeland. Formerly they were shepherds in search of pasture but they gave up their nomadic life and settled into village communities.
