1) "Jordan, officially the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Arabic: الأردنّ‎ al-Urdunn), is an Arab country in Southwest Asia spanning the southern part of the Syrian Desert down to the Gulf of Aqaba." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan 2) "The Hashemites trace their ancestry from Hashim ibn Abd al-Manaf (died c.510 AD), the great-grandfather of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, although the definition today mainly refers to the descendants of the prophet's daughter, Fatimah. The early history of the Hashemites saw them in a continuous struggle against the Umayyads for control over who would be the caliph or successor to Muhammad. The Umayyads were of the same tribe as the Hashemites, but a different clan. This rivalry eventually would lead to the split between the Sunni and Shia." "Sharif Hussein ibn Ali rebelled against the rule of the Ottomans during the Arab Revolt of 1916. Between 1917 and 1924, after the collapse of Ottoman power, Hussein bin Ali ruled an independent Hejaz, of which he proclaimed himself king, with the tacit support of the British Foreign Office. " "Hussein bin Ali had five sons: - Ali, who briefly succeeded to the throne of Hejaz before its loss to the Saud family. - Abdullah, later became the king of Transjordan, and whose descendants rule the kingdom, that has been known ever since as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. - Faisal, was briefly proclaimed King of Syria, and ended up becoming King of Iraq. - Prince Zeid, who moved to Jordan when his brother's grandson was overthrown and murdered in a coup in 1958. - Hassan, died at a young age. The royal family of the hereditary Sulu Sultanate, which includes Sulu (part of the Philippines), and Sabah (part of Malaysia), consider themselves Hashemites."
