Harrak

Harrak (Arabic: الحراق‎‎) refers to the last name carried by the Northern Moroccan families that claim descent from the sons of Al-Harrak; one of the direct descendents of Islamic prophet Muhammad through Ali ibn Abu Talib and Fatimah.

Al Harrak sons and grandsons carry the last names of: Harrak, Harraki, Harraq, Arraki, Al Harrak, Harrak Srifi, Al Harrak Al Srifi, and also El Harrak. Some variant namings exist such as: Charif al Harrak or Sayyed al Harrak; as Charif, Sharif and Sayyed (also Sayid, Sayyid and Sayed) are terms used for the descendents of Muhammad.

Harrak families originate from the Srif tribe known also as Ahl Srif, and they are from the Idrissites Alawite Musawite branch.
