In an era lacking modern communication tools, he often traveled to these villages on foot, frequently staying overnight. Despite having very little physical strength—and having survived multiple heart attacks—he persevered with remarkable patience and diligence, driven by sheer willpower and an unyielding determination. Had he not compiled this genealogy, we would have remained entirely unaware of our own history. We owe him a profound debt of gratitude.
Inspired by his legacy, we have made a modest attempt to carry his work forward by presenting this updated genealogy. Given the significant challenges we faced in gathering information even in today’s age of mobile technology, it is almost impossible to fully fathom how the late Ibrahimbhai Patel managed to successfully accomplish such a monumental task. His lifestyle was defined by simplicity and a spirit of altruism—so much so that when he gave with his right hand, his left hand remained unaware. I had the good fortune to meet him and converse with him on many occasions. Every time we met, there was much to learn and understand from him. His wise counsel and the warmth of his affection are still remembered today. The loss of such an elder is an irreparable void in our community. We offer our deepest, most heartfelt salutations to him.
May the Almighty grant his soul a place in the highest ranks of Paradise (Jannat), and may he be blessed with the intercession (shafa’at) of the Panjetan and the Du’at.
Ameen.
Wassalam (Peace be upon you).

Furthermore, as our community members have become more financially stable, our youth are now actively involved in both community service and sports—which is a very positive development. For instance, they are organizing cricket tournaments. In Surat, the cricket tournament was initiated by Saifuddinbhai Abbasbhai Sibatra; despite facing various controversies, he successfully managed the event. In Hasanfir (Delmal), Firozbhai Husenibhai Dodiya organized two cricket tournaments, which were highly successful before eventually coming to a halt due to disputes. Today, in Surat, the ‘Ku.S.’ cricket tournament is being organized in a magnificent manner, incorporating the use of technology. The work of the management group is truly commendable and worthy of praise. We hope they continue to organize such events and bring honor to the ‘Ku.S.’ community. Furthermore, other community members are making a name for themselves in cycling, swimming, and tennis; by featuring their photographs, we aim to encourage and boost their morale on behalf of the ‘Ku.S.’ community. We also extend our congratulations to those who have completed the memorization of the Quran (*Hifz*—becoming *Hafiz*) by showcasing their photos. We apologize if anyone has been inadvertently left out. We have also included photographs of lawyers, doctors, and engineers based on the information provided to us. Despite our efforts to reach out to many, we did not receive information from everyone. We apologize to anyone who may have been missed; please get in touch via www.korashaminiya.com.

This is our humble attempt to present a brief history of our small world.

Today I am here; tomorrow, only my memories will remain. When I am gone, my words will endure…

If you turn the pages of this life, you might find tears in your eyes.
In the endeavor to compile the Kurra Samaniya history—documenting the genealogy and family details for each branch—we have gained a wealth of experience.

Whether times are good or bad, they eventually pass.
Yet, words, people, and the way one treats others remain in memory. We express our heartfelt gratitude to all the brothers who supported us, provided guidance, or contributed advertisements; we deeply appreciate your kindness and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Shabbirbhai Taherbhai Jhampawala provided us with moral support and was instrumental in compiling the lists of families from Ghamartari, Raipur, Bilaspur, and Assam.

Sajauddin Taherbhai Saleh compiled the family lists from Kolkata. Furthermore, Zahir Ibrahimbhai Patel, Turab Abbasbhai Shiyawala, Shabbir Husenibhai Shiyawala, and Qutbuddin Yusufbhai Haji contributed to the success of our work. Najmuddin Kasamji Patel provided the family lists for Bangladesh—covering Dhaka and Chittagong. From Surat, Shoyeb Hatimbhai Dodiya (Thakor) compiled the list of families from Rugnathpura who are now settled in Surat. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to those who assisted in compiling the lists of families residing in Surat—specifically the family of Murtuza Alihusenbhai Vana (from Totana) and the family of Shabbirbhai Nanabhai Saleh Bhadevadi. We also sincerely thank the other brothers who contributed various pieces of information and offered valuable suggestions. This endeavor has succeeded solely due to your collective support and cooperation. If any family or individual has been inadvertently omitted from the genealogy, I offer my sincere apologies with folded hands. One individual in Surat explicitly declined to have his family included; consequently, we have not listed them.
Insha’Allah (God willing),

Should it be possible, those who were left out may provide their details, and we will add them to the website, www.korasamaniya.com. Once again, expressing my gratitude to everyone, I would simply add: “To err is human”—please be forgiving of any mistakes that may have occurred during this work. May the Almighty bestow abundant blessings (barakat) upon the livelihoods of all those who supported us. May He grant us the strength to continue serving the community (Samaj) and the Dawat. Ameen.

Those who seek personal honor have no interest in the community;
And those who are dedicated to the community have no interest in personal honor.
Wassalam,
Yours, Abde Syedna (T.U.S.) — Firoz Husenibhai Dodiya (Fakhri)
