Al-Sadr family

Al-Sadr (الصدر) is a Lebanese-Iraqi-Iranian clerical Shia family originating from Jabal Amel in Lebanon. They are a branch of Musawi family tracing to Musa Ibn Jaafar the seventh Shia Imam.

History
Sadr is a branch of Charafeddine (شرف الدين) family from Jabal Amel in Lebanon. The Charafeddine family itself is a branch of the Noureddine family, which traces its lineage to Moussa al-Kazim (the seventh Shi'a Imam) and through him to the first Imam, Ali ibn Abi Talib and Fatima Zahra, the daughter of Muhammad (d.632). The as-Sadr family has produced numerous Islamic scholars in Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq, including Ismail Sadr (d. 1919) and his grandsons Moussa Sadr (disappeared in Libya in 1978) and Mohammad Baqir Sadr (d.1980).
