The Dhund Abbasi came to Pakistan from Egypt The Dhund Abbasi came to ancient Pakistan from Egypt, as traders and merchants in commodities like fabrics, perfumes and diamonds. Envoys and traders of the Abbasids came to Taxila, ancient Pakistan, where they constructed a mosque and started preaching Islam by the order of Caliph Harun al-Rashid around 844 CE. An Abbasi scholar, Abu Fadhal, taught a Kashmiri King Onti Vermon in 882 CE, and he translated the Quran into Hindi. This was the first translation of the Quran into an Indian language. In 1025 CE, Raja Mall of Jhelum, embraced Islam by Mahmud Ghazni and constructed a fort at Malot, Malpur near Islamabad in present day Pakistan administered Kashmir. He died in Jhelum. They established a colony near Delhi in 1232 CE. Sardar Tolak Khan, who came to Kashmir during the reign of King Zain-ul-Abidin (1423 CE to 1474 CE), settled in the Poonch area (now the Bagh District of Azad Kashmir). Although the tribe traces its roots back to Abbas, it is more likely that the Dhund Abbasi people are descended from the Abbasid dynasty. The descendants of Abbas displaced the Umayyad rulers and were known as the Abbasids. This dynasty governed for 500 years from Baghdad, Iraq. The rule of the Abbasi extended eastwards across Afghanistan into the South Asian subcontinent, covering the eastern part of modern-day Pakistan. The Dhund Abbasi claim descent from the Abbasids. An Abbasid general, Zarab Khan, was given the task to subjugate the king of Kashmir who refused to pay tribute to Afghanistan. He invaded Kashmir and overthrew the king and married the daughter of the new king. He remained as an ambassador to the state and lived at Darab Kot at Kahuta. His son, Akbar Gahe Khan, is the forefather of all Abbasi tribes, including the Dhond in Rawalpindi Division, Hazara division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad and Azad Kashmir.
