I just want to clear some misconception regarding the post...Caste system is wrong in Islam but still followed by people mainly in East... "The most honored amongst you with Allah is the most pious of you"...and there is no restriction for making an alliance in Islam...so it's not important if the Abdullah's (Usman/Sabana) are also Khan or not if they are marrying their children...and your statement dear leaves a wrong notion, like u said 'NO DOUBT THEY LOOK LIKE ONE'...Is there any physical appearance of Pathan, Sheikh or Syed which make them look different??? coz as far as I know all Muslims are created/born from one pair i.e. Adam AS (PBUH) and Hawwa AS (PBUH) and they all are equal whether they are Arab or not, Black or White...so this kind of statement should be avoided. P.S. - I don't want to offend anyone...just clarifying some things.


My post did not in any way state whether caste system should be followed or not or wether its right or wrong, its just a post to let people know that you can belong in the same family whilst having different last names.
i myself am against caste systems but truth be told it still exists amongst many today! specially in India and Pakistan.
Everything doesn't need to be taken literally...i said they look like Khans in a light sense, we need to stop jumping the gun when it comes to Religion or Caste. In Pakistan Khan's usually come from the Northern part of the country and are extremely light in complextion, i'm merely pointing out an observation...do let me know if anywhere in my post i mentioned that Khan or some other caste are superior. My eyes seem to have missed it

Thanks for the info, I didn't know about Khan being used in the last name as a cast as usually my friends have their father's name as surnames so I also used to think that Khan is like a surname or a family name


No worries, yea today most people use their father's/husband's names, which is a good sign. However some choose to use their caste along with their names 😳

Like I said I don't want to offend u or anyone else..and I never said u mentioned about casteism being right or wrong or any caste being superior...that was all me and it was my comment stating casteism wrong and so was it written 'I WANT TO CLARIFY SOME THINGS'...I only mentioned ur statement regarding the appearance of Khans wrong which is wrong for me...which again I didn't mention on superiority basis but in normal respect to avoid misconception..that's it.

Oh well, seems like miscommunication from both ends. However stay assured that I AM NOT in anyway stereotyping Khans or any other caste for that matter...its a mere remark based upon my observation and will be appreciated if taken lightly😊
