Is it possible for someone who is not of Arab origin to become one of the Arabized Arabs (al-Musta'ribah) and be counted among them, just as the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, was, especially if he does not master any language other than Arabic and has absorbed Arab culture and spirit?
A Muslim's deeds benefit him, not his lineage. People are equal before God except in piety, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, could not avail his relatives of anything. Arabs are of two types: Arabs by race and lineage, who are those whose lineage is established to Qahtani or Adnani tribes; and Arabs by language and culture, who are the inhabitants of Arab countries where Arabic has settled as a language and culture, but their lineage to Arab tribes is not preserved. These may have Arab origins from the conquerors or emigrants from the Arabian Peninsula who established ancient civilizations. Research into this matter is complex and of little benefit.
