Hashemite dynasty A notable Arab family whose members are direct descendants of the founder of
Islam, the Prophet Muhammad. By the nineteenth century, its leaders were the Emirs of Mecca under the Turks. The last of these was
Hussein ibn Ali, who became King of the Hejaz, but was ousted by
Abd al-Aziz ibn Saud in 1924. His eldest son Ali briefly replaced him before also being forced into exile by Saud. His other sons
Abdullah and
Faisal became Kings of Transjordan and Iraq respectively. The Iraq branch ended in 1958 with the murder of
Faisal II, but the dynasty continued in Jordan under
Hussein ibn Talal and his son,
Abdullah II.
