Murad (tribe)

The Murad (Arabic: مراد) are an Arab tribe of eastern Yemen.^[1] Several Islamic scholars have said that the name Murad is a nickname, and that their own tribal name is Yuhabir.

The Murad belong to the southern group of the Madhhij.^[2] They are described as retaining a typically Beduin character and their territory, called Bilad Murad, lies in the Southern governorate of Marib in Northern Yemen.
