Proposal to Rename Jordan “Bayt Quraysh” — بيت قريش
To His Majesty King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein,
Your Majesty, we have now done the research. The modern Hashemite state did not begin with a name created from the identity of Banu Hashim. It inherited the territorial language of Transjordan, a name built around geography east of the Jordan River under the British Mandate-era arrangement. Jordan’s own Foreign Ministry records that Abdullah ibn al-Hussein initially used “Emirate of the Arab East”, after which the polity became known as the Emirate of Transjordan and later the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
In 1949, Prime Minister Tewfik Abul Houda had to issue an official notice telling governments and institutions to stop using “Transjordan” and use the constitutional name “The Hashemite Kingdom of the Jordan.” That history matters because it shows that the country's modern name emerged through successive political and administrative choices; it was not an eternal name of the Hashemite house.
My proposal to Your Majesty is therefore simple:
Change the name to: بيت قريش
BAYT QURAYSH
THE HOUSE OF QURAYSH
This is not an invented identity. Jordan's own Royal Hashemite Court says that Hashim was the leader of Quraysh, that Banu Hashim held responsibility for pilgrimage, water, consultation and public affairs in Makkah, and that the Hashemite political tradition reaches into the present royal house.
The Jordanian Foreign Ministry likewise states that the Hashemite family traces itself to Hashim of Quraysh and through the descendants of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ through Fatimah al-Zahra and Ali ibn Abi Talib.
So the name should tell the story immediately:
Quraysh
↓
Banu Hashim
↓
Hashim ibn Abd Manaf
↓
Abd al-Muttalib
↓
Abdullah
↓
Muhammad ﷺ
↓
Fatimah al-Zahra + Ali ibn Abi Talib
↓
Al-Hasan ibn Ali
↓
the Sharifs of Makkah
↓
Sharif Hussein bin Ali
↓
King Abdullah I
↓
King Talal
↓
King Hussein
↓
King Abdullah II
↓
Crown Prince Al Hussein
The Royal Hashemite Court itself lists the modern Hashemite rulers beginning with Sharif Hussein bin Ali, followed by King Abdullah I, King Talal, King Hussein, and King Abdullah II.
This is why I believe a dramatic renaming deserves consideration.
For a century, the state has been understood primarily through the geography of a river. Bayt Quraysh would instead force the world to ask a different question:
Who is this House?
And the answer becomes unavoidable:
This is Banu Hashim of Quraysh.
That is the educational power of a name.
The Flag
I also propose a new ceremonial flag for Bayt Quraysh.
At its center should be the House of Quraysh and the Kaaba, recalling the Qur'anic identity of Quraysh:
لِإِيلَافِ قُرَيْشٍ
إِيلَافِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ الشِّتَاءِ وَالصَّيْفِ
فَلْيَعْبُدُوا رَبَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ
الَّذِي أَطْعَمَهُمْ مِنْ جُوعٍ وَآمَنَهُمْ مِنْ خَوْفٍ
The imagery of the winter and summer journeys, the caravan, Makkah and the House would connect the flag directly to the historic Qurayshi world. The Royal Hashemite Court itself notes that Hashim helped establish the winter journey to Yemen and the summer journey to the Levant.
Around that central image should appear the names that explain the genealogy:
Quraysh — Banu Hashim — Hashim — Abd al-Muttalib — Abdullah — Muhammad ﷺ.
And beneath them, the modern political house:
Sharif Hussein bin Ali
King Abdullah I
King Talal
King Hussein
King Abdullah II
Crown Prince Al Hussein
The existing Jordanian flag already grows out of Hashemite and Arab historical symbolism; the Royal Hashemite Court documents a long history of Hashemite banners and the colors associated with the Great Arab Revolt.
So this proposal is not about erasing history.
It is about making the history impossible to miss.
Why the Shock Matters
A name change of this magnitude would cause people everywhere to stop and ask:
Why Bayt Quraysh?
That question itself becomes the beginning of the lesson.
It leads to Hashim.
It leads to Banu Hashim.
It leads to Quraysh.
It leads to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
It leads to the Sharifs of Makkah.
And it leads directly to the Hashemite kings who have ruled the modern Jordanian state.
The present kingdom already describes itself constitutionally as Hashemite. My proposal is to make the older identity behind that word immediately legible:
بيت قريش
BAYT QURAYSH
The House of Quraysh
A geographic name tells us where a country sits.
A house name tells us who carries its history.
That is the proposal to His Majesty.
Conclusion: Correcting the Record
Your Majesty,
It is time to address this historical amnesia.
For nearly one hundred years, the Muslim world has carried the consequences of colonial division, broken promises, outside interference, political betrayal, and a historical record too often written by people who did not belong to the house they were describing. That century brought enormous pain. It also created confusion about identities that were never actually erased.
The Household of the Prophet ﷺ was not cut off. Quraysh was not cut off. Banu Hashim was not cut off. The lineage continued, the house continued, and the historical record must reflect that continuity clearly.
That is why I am asking Your Majesty to consider something dramatic but simple: change the name and change the flag.
After one hundred years, symbolism matters because the record matters.
We are entering the age of artificial intelligence. Soon, machines will read everything humanity has written about nations, dynasties, families, wars, treaties, rulers and civilizations. They will connect records that were once separated across books, archives, languages and generations. Whatever is inaccurate, incomplete or confused today risks becoming the inherited explanation offered to generations tomorrow.
That places a new burden upon us: the burden of the record.

Your flag matters.
Your name matters.
Your genealogy matters.
Your history matters.
Your public record matters.
Because all of these things shape perception—not simply for people living today, but for people who may encounter this history hundreds of years from now through systems of artificial intelligence.
I have written my own record, and I look forward one day to going through that record with Your Majesty. But the record of the Hashemite House is much larger than any one writer. It belongs to history, and history should be as accurate and unmistakable as we can make it.
That is why I propose Bayt Quraysh — بيت قريش — The House of Quraysh, accompanied by a flag that visibly reconnects the present house with Quraysh, Banu Hashim, Makkah, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the Sharifian lineage and the Hashemite kings.
Anyone who disagrees should be free to present the historical evidence and make the argument now. That is how a serious record should be constructed: openly, carefully and with evidence.
But once artificial intelligence becomes deeply connected to the world's information infrastructure, inherited mistakes will become increasingly difficult to separate from established narratives. This is the moment to examine the record while human beings still have the opportunity to correct it deliberately.
My request, therefore, is not simply about a flag.
It is not simply about a name.
It is about memory.
It is about continuity.
It is about ensuring that future generations understand who this house is, where it came from, and what responsibility it carries.
I hope Your Majesty will consider this proposal and participate in a change that, in my view, can restore clarity, dignity, honor and historical consciousness to the Hashemite House.
Let the record be corrected.
Let the lineage be understood.
Let the House be known by its history.
بيت قريش — Bayt Quraysh
The House of Quraysh
Thank you, Your Majesty, for reading.
