Al-AnsariorAnsari is an Arab community, found predominantly in the Arab and South Asian countries. They are descended from the AnsarofMadinah. The Ansari are an Urdu-speaking community also called Muhajir, although the Ansari clan of Gujarat have Gujarati as their mother tongue.[1]: 984 

History[edit]

The Ansaris are the descendants of the Ansar tribe of Madinah. They are found throughout the middle east and South Asia. The Ansaris that are still living today in Arabia have migrated to other places such as Qatar, Bahrain and other parts of Saudi Arabia. The people of the Ansari tribe in South Asia are few. They arrived there when the son of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari took part in the Muslim conquest of Khorasan and settled in Herat.[2] They are descended from the Sufi saint Abdullah Ansari and migrated to India in 1526 under the Mughal Sultan Babur.[3] Some Ansari settlements in south Asia can be found in, Yusufpur, Saharanpur, Lucknow Firangi Mahal and Kakori.[4]
