Kazmi
(Redirected from Kazemi)
Kazemi, Kazimi, Kazmi, or al-Kadhimi (Arabic: الكاظمي al-Kadhimi) is a surname found most commonly in Iran, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. The surname is conventionally used by people who trace their patrilineal descent from Imam Musa al-Kazim, a Sayyid (descendant of Muhammad).[1] Kazmi people are said to descend from Muhammad through his daughter Fatima.[2][3] Musa al-Kadhim is revered as the seventh successor of Muhammad in Shia Islam i.e., he is the seventh Imam of noman
. The terms Musavi and Kazmi can be used interchangeably (since both have been derived from Imam Musa al-Kazim).[4]
