Dear cousin Oum Firas Rima AL Khani,



As-salamou Alaikoum,



I am your cousin Dr. Ammar AL Khani son of Nizar AL Khani son of Sheikh
Aziz AL Khani...!



First of all, I would like to felicite you fofr your web site, it is a real
big gate of culture and social events.



Of course, I have some remarks over the design of the site, but they are
minor.



However, one important remark that I have to make over one article that you
wrote regarding the History of our Family, Family AL Khani:



I understand that you are willing to go back in history to the main root of
our family, and it is not easy!



In fact, Our family is of mixed Kurd, Turk and Arab origin!



The fact that our Direct documented great grand father is the Wali of Teflis
- Tiblisi, the capital of present state of Georgia- and his brother is The
great Kurd Poet "Ahmad AL Khani " who lived in the 17th century and the
author of

"Mem and Zein" romantic poem similar to Romeo and Juliette.



In addition to that The family name "AL Khani" meaning in Turk language
"Khan or Khakkan" meaning "Prince" in English or "Wali" in Arabic and is not
Khan meaning hotel in Persian language.



Moreover, The full family name is AL Khani AL Khaledi AL Nakeshbandi Al
Wali.



The family came to Syria to Aleppo by order of Sultan in 18th Century, and
were given farm land near Idlib -in Khan Sheikhoun- Meaning the hotel of
sheikhs, because one of our grand fathers has established the "Sofi Tarika
-way- of Alnakeshbandiah, and was teaching it in mosques in Turkey and
Syria.



- My grand father Sheikh Aziz AL Khani was Mufti of Aleppo and has
seven brothers: Two brothers went to Istanboul were their families are
living till now and five brothers remained in Syria, they went to Hama and
Damascus in 19th century. They Have a very big family house in old city of
Damascus



- My grand father Sheikh Aziz AL Khani came to Damascus when he was
appointed the position of Mufti Of Syria.



- My Father Nizar AL Khani is the only remaining living son of
Sheikh Aziz AL Khani.



- My Uncles are "AL marhoumeen: Shoukri, Fareed and Bashir: They
have a lot of children and grand children



- My Antes are "AL marhoumeen: Ni'mat, Moufidah and Fatimah: Only
Moufidah has children and grand children.



Best regards,



Your cousin Ammar,
