The Sadozai

The Saad Lived at Akash. Here Buddah Khan Gautama met Bra hum. The eldest worship beyond in both Black and White China. After Aurangzeb Alamgir The Delhi Emperor introduced Sunni-ism The Great Shah's announced a Military called Duran Sharif which was the beginning of the Zais and Ahmed [For being Schooled as Ahmed ]Multan Khan[For Being Born at Multan] Abdali [ Master of very highly mystical[Abdals] ..And Nadir Khan ..Both in tradition of Gengis Khan [The Wise Old Khan] and Temur Khan [The Ruthless Warrior] of Lamg Sharif..The Durrranis consisted of many Families raised like today's Taliban and Mujahedeen who Promised to The Saad at Sher Barra Mazar in today's Afghanistan to be cattle to The Saad[ozai] [The Brother hood]the twists and turns of viziers of The Saad are hard to find. However The Saad have always ruled the earth and one day a letter 'Saad' sura from Koran reached The Great Shah saying, Saad i promise by my Koran, that this man is a Prophet although he is simple and does not understand the mystic of your viziers...The Great Shah Saad embraced the truth and so did all the Christian Kings ..But during the coming years a Political Failure was faced by the Family of Holy Prophet through whom the holy Finnal Testament was sent down and the worship of images and Templaring of Right Hand ended!
There is no Saddozai family that speak other than Royal Persian ,or Multani a holy and eldest Language .
When The Shah's is referred to in the plural it pertains to The Shah's of Gardez the real caravan of victims of Karbala and house of Imam Ali and Holy Prophets Daughter Fatima Zahra and the lineage of The 12 Literate Imams .
The Saad drew a line and denounced Delhi.
The Saad conquered Dehli after a Watrerloo with Marhattas and won..
The Sadd ended all wars and became final distributors of Trade allover the world.However The Christian Kings were delivered Waterloo at Belgium and the world history divided into a double story...
The Saad took charges of Empires but returned Dehli to Mughals after subjecting them to marry black women or be put to sword.
The Saad announced themselves Mirzas after the generation that had brought all the wealth of Dehli including the Peacock throne and Kohinoor Diamonds.That was when The Saddozai Mirza Dynasty began. Mirza is a holy and high birth in witnesses that life cannot be concluded unless grave fault that cannot show the person amongst for centuries, however the notable Mirza AlAmaan of Mashad who created Dera Ismail Khan and waziristan. Mirza Kamran of Kabul Talso known as Shahzada Shahpur chose to live at Lahore and managed their Riechstag Property of Chunia! The Ruler of Mirza and Ruler of Multan was laid down with posthumous title as Nawab Muzzafar Khan and his family lives at Multan too..
The Saddozais controlled Khorasan [Large Capital] and in 1924 inducted Lord Elphinstone as Prime minister that also meant World Trade Licence for London but only in four years London split it after The British Company had indulged too far into Military Accounts and Politics. These wars were called /The Opium Wars... The Emperor Great Shah ruled from Khurasaan whichs border was Punjab and announced a Accountability, before the rule was taken away from Durranis
There has been no change in genealogy of Great saddozais since their role as Maliks of Saad. And the Books are available and notated by each birth.
In Pashtun genealogy, tribes or subtribes are said to be the descendants of a common ancestor. For instance, Abdali tribesmen are said to be the progeny of Abdali (Bor Tarin), whose lineage can be traced directly to Qais Abdur Rashid, the legendary founder of the Pashtuns. The origins of the Abdalis were most likely the Hephthalites.[1] ^Life of the Amîr Dost Mohammed Khan, of Kabul: with his political ..., by Mohan Lal, Volume 1. Page 1-3. However, the mythical account of the Abdalis is traced to (Qais ul-Malik) Abdal Rashid (the first and founder of the Abdali tribe). Abdal had three sons, one of them was Ibrahim [Sarabun] whose first son was Sharf ud-din [Sharakh-bun] and he had a son whose name was Tarin and Tarin's son was Malik Abdul and Abdul's son was Rajjal [Rajor] after Rajjal comes his son Isa, who produced a son Sulaiman (Zirak Khan) who was the ancestor of Durranis. The Zirak line begins with Sulaiman (Zirak Khan). Zirak was father to Popalzai, Barakzai (tribes), and Alakozai.[2] # ^ http://www.diss.fu-berlin.de/diss/servlets/MCRFileNodeServlet/FUDISS_derivate_000000007165/01_Text.pdf?hosts=

The Sadozai trace their line back to an actual historical figure, Sado (born 1558),[3] who was made chief of the some 12,000 Abdali families living about Kandahar. He aligned himself politically with the Safavid ruler Shah 'Abbas I, who named him the "lord of the Afghans" and charged with securing the Herat-Kandahar road. He also helped the Safavid ruler to retake Kandahar in 1622, for in 1595 it had fallen into Mughal hands.

Amongst the Sadozai's, Ahmed Shah Abdali, son of Zaman Khan of Khawaja Khizer Khan Khel of the Sadozai clan of Popalzai

 tribe, was the most famous of all. Ahmad Khan enlisted as a young soldier in the military of the Afsharid kingdom and quickly rose to become a commander of four thousand Abdali Pashtun soldiers. After the death of Nader Shah Afshar of Persia in June 1747, Abdali became the Emir of Khorasan. This resulted in the birth of Afghan state the beginning of the Durrani empire.

After Ahmed Shah Abdali's death in 1773, the vast empire passed on to his son Taimoor Shah and his progeny which included Shah Zaman, Shah Shuja ul Mulk, Shah Mehmoud, and Shah Ayub. The great empire shrank and eventually it was passed on from Sadozai clan to Amir Dost Mohammad Khan of Barakzai clan in 1810 and to his progeny.
