The ''''Utub''' (or Bani Utbah) ({{lang-ar|'''العتوب'''}} ''{{transl|ar|banū l-`utūb}}'') originated from the region of [[Najd]] in central [[Arabia]]. The tribe is thought to have been formed when a group of different tribal groups migrated from [[Najd]] to [[Kuwait]] on the [[Persian Gulf]] coast sometime in the late seventeenth century.


The current ruling families of [[Bahrain]] (the [[Al Khalifa]]) and [[Kuwait]] (the [[Al-Sabah]]) are clans belonging to the Utub. The [[Al Fazil]], [[Al Jalahma]], and [[Al Bin Ali]] clans are also members of the tribe, and are largely based in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. The 'Utub are believed to originate from a tribe called Jumaylah, which in turn belongs to the large [['Anizzah]] confederation.

In the Precis Of Turkish Expansion On The Arab Littoral Of The Persian Gulf And Hasa And Katif Affairs. By J. A. Saldana; 1904 , I.o. R R/15/1/724, J.A. Saldanha has asserted that Isa Bin Tarif, Chief of the [[Al Utbi] Tribe , is a desendant of the Original Utub who conquered Bahrain. Isa Bin Tarif was the Chief of the Al Bin Ali Tribe from the beginning of the 19th Century until his death in 1847. This assertion by Saldanha along with the Ownership documents by the Al Bin Ali Tribe which carry the last name Al Utbi proves without a shadow of a doubt that the Al Bin Ali are the Original Utub who carried the last name Al Utbi in their ownership's document.


After the Arrival of the great Grandfather's of the Al-Khalifa, Al-Sabah, and Al-Jalahma in the first quarter of the 18th Century, entered under the umbrella of the Original Utub Al Bin Ali which was the strongest tribe living in Kuwait at that time. The great Grandfather's of the Al-Khalifa, Al-Sabah, and Al-Jalahma raised the Al-Sulaimi flag of the Utub Al Bin Ali after entering under their umbrella in Kuwait .


The Utub Al Bin Ali carry the Al-Sulaimi flag as they call it in Bahrain, Qatar , Kuwait , and Eastern province in the kingdom of saudi Arabia. The correct name literally is Al-Sulami and it is red and white and is distinguished with four red stripes with three white stripes.It was raised on their ships during wartime and in the pearl season and on special occasions such as weddings and during Eid and in the “ Ardha of war.”
