History

The name 'Dhanyal' is from Mohazzam Shah, which was the name of a chief and renowned Sufi holy person of Lower Himalayas who moved from Dhanni (old name of Chakwal) in late twelfth century. Ancestors of Mohazzam Shah who were Arab Muslims relocated from Iraq into Multan during the time of Shahab Ud Din Muhammad Ghori. Descendants of Mohazzam Shah managed Multan state for around 190 years. Mohazzam Shah upheld Muhammad Ghori to check the exercises of Hindu Rajputs who forcefully assaulted Muslim army of Muhammad Ghori. Because of the impact of the Mohazzam Shah known as Hazrat Baba Dhanni Pir, numerous non-Muslims of this space changed over to Islam. Mohazzam Shah was the profound head of Dhanyal, Satti and Abbasi tribe in the space of Murree Hills, plain space of Potohar and Kashmir.

Hazrat Baba Dhanni Pir's grave is in Mouri Sayyaedan, a valley on Lehtrar Road in tehsil Kotli Sattian, District Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

Misconception

There is a general misconception about Dhanyal tribe. During the period of British rule, they were included as Rajput tribe in 1891, 1901, 1911 and 1931 census. They are not Rajput, but Alvis.

Some from Dhanyal tribe write the title "Raja" with their names, which doesn't imply that the tribe is any offshot of Rajput – they are Alvi and Arab Muslims like Awan and Shaikh or Qureshi, Abbasi and Sayed. Some individual from the tribe called themselves as Shah, it does not implies that they are Sayed, it is demonstrated that Dhanyals are non-fatimi relatives of Hazrat Ali Al-Murtaza (RA).

Dhanyals are renowned for their valiance. Individuals from this tribe were enlisted into the armies of the Mughal Empire, British Empire and after Independence, into the Pakistan Army. After independence, the Dhanyals in metropolitan regions have gone to different fields like training, medication, designing, business and sociologies.
