Quraysh

(Redirected from Quraish)
Quraish is also the name of a Sura in the Qur'an.

Quraysh or Quraish[1] was the dominant tribe of Mecca upon the appearance of the religion of Islam.

It was the tribe to which the Islamic Prophet Muhammad belonged and which led the opposition to his message. Not very much of this tribe followed Islam.
