The estimated date of a migration from Coasts Of Makran to Sultanate Of Oman is (16 - 19th) Century.

Origin of the Tribe name

The Word balshh (Arabic: بلشه)[18] means (Trouble) in Arabic, a word has been used In the colloquial dialect of the Levant countries, after the tribe migrated from Hijaz to the Levant, and the origin of the word is due to the fact that that word was used because other tribes felt in Trouble when trying to wage wars with them.

Then named (Balush), Later (Al-Balush).

While some writers referred the naming of the tribe is back to Ottoman rule:[19] The word (Balush) means courage[20] in Turkish origin, and the origin of the word dates back to the periods of Ottoman rule over the branches of the Arab tribes in Levant,[10] and their influence on the tribe (naming).

Tribal lineage

A letter from the General Authority for Antiquities and Book Houses in the Yemen Arab Republic about the Arab tribe, Al-Balush.

Billy bin Amr bin Al-Haf bin Qud'a'ah bin Malik bin Hamir bin Saba bin Yashjeb bin Yarub Al-Qahtani (Al-Azdi).[8][4][10][15][21][22][23][11]

Similarity of Names

The beginning of the Balush tribe is that they branched off from the ancient Yemeni Azd tribes, although at that time they were not the ethnicity that some call them (Baloch).

Then they migrated from Hijaz (Yemen), in a date estimated before the (medieval) period to the Levant countries[6][11] then Yemen in (medieval) period, then Sultanate of Oman, then finally coast of Majan[24][25] (now Makran).

The Persians took the word (Balush) "from (Al Balush) Arab tribe" and turned it into (Blwj) then (Baloch) to establish a previously unknown ethnicity of Persian origins who came from somewhere in North East (Zabulistan) to (Sistan) lands, while (Sistan) has been set as a part of Makran by Portuguese during the Portuguese colonization in the (16th century) after the Portuguese colonization, which led to the expansion of Magan and they changed it from Magan to Makran during the colonial period.

Sistan is the original name before Balochistan land.

Until the British colonization in (1812) AD, these regions were ruled separately, so that after the Portuguese were expelled from the lands of Makran, the Persian Empire took control of the lands of Sistan, and it was separated from Makran, and Sistan became under independent rule by the Persian Empire.

There is a difference[26] linguistically, culturally, in lineage, and origins between the Balush of Makran[26] at that time. They migrated from the south of the Arabian Peninsula to the coasts of Majan and Majan under the Omani rule over them (which is Makran today). They were originally from branches of Al-Zaffa Clan.[4][12]

As for the Baloch who came from Sistan, who are known today as (Baloch of Balochestan), they are from Sistan of Persian origins, and they came with a language, dialects, and cultures dating back to Persian and Urdu, And they doesn’t relate to the tribe with any relationship, the lineage or anything in the Arab Balush tribe,[9] only the similarity of names between the (Baloch) ethnicity and the (Balush) tribe.[16]

This proves that their origins from Al-Balqawia[2][27][28] that the Arab[14] Balush in Makran (who migrated from Sultanate of Oman) is based on the Sunni-Hanafi-Shafi'i[29] doctrine and not as some claim to be Persians, although Iran before it declared an Islamic Republic in 1979, the doctrine of Islam was their Shiites and not the Sunni sect in Iran.

After a period of time, control over the Makran lands was restored, including the Makran coast, which was under The British colonization after a short period until the year (1928) AD.

Makran was annexed with the Persian state under the Persian Empire.

Later it was annexed with Pakistan.[16]
