Mohamed shawesh biography

Shawish (Shaweesh, Shawesh) (Arabic: الشاويش, شاويش, الشاوش) is a large and widespread Palestinian family originated from the Damascus Gate neighbourhood of East Jerusalem.

The Shawish surname has several variations in languages other than Arabic. Written Arabic language frequently omits vowels, therefore the surname is often spelled using only plain Arabic alphabet, literally as "Shawesh".

"Al-" or "El", meaning "family of" or "the" in Arabic, is often used as a prefix to names in formal identifications.

Origin

Several Islamic historians assert that the Shawish family is a descendant of the Islamic prophetMuhammad.

This claim is based on verifiable historical documents describing the link through "twenty four men" (generations) between Muhammad and Ustaz Mohammad Zuhayr Al-Shawish (see below)^[1]
