Qureyshi (also known as Qureshi, Quraishi, Qurayshi, Qureshy, Quraishy, Qoraishi, Qoreshi, Koraishi, Kureshi, Kureshy, Kureishi, Coreish, Urdu: قریشی) is a Muslim family name, originating from the Quraysh tribe, which was the noblest tribe in Mecca around the time of the birth of Muhammad. At the time of Muhammad’s birth, his grandfather Abdul-Muttalib was the tribal head.
Quraysh is also the name of the 106th Surah of the Qur'an.
Fahr Quraish (bin Malik bin An-Nadr/Qais bin Kinanah bin Khuzaimah bin Mudriqa bin Ilyas/Ayas bin Mudar bin Nazaar/Nizar bin Mu'aad bin Adnan) was a distinguished tribal chief and the first Qureshi whose descendants are called banu Quraish. Muhammad also mentioned Fahr Quraish in his lineage up to Adnan.
Zakir Hussain (Urdu: ذاکِر حسین) is the name of:
"And I" is a song written by American R&B singer Ciara, and produced by Adonis Shropshire for Ciara's first album, Goodies (2004). It was released as the album's fourth and final single on August 30, 2005 (see 2005 in music) in North America.
The song was originally the third choice for the fourth single. Ciara has mentioned in an interview that "Thug Style", "Hotline" or "Pick up the Phone" would be the fourth single, but when Ciara suggested "And I" to executives at her previous record label LaFace, they were unhappy because they wanted "Next to You" to be the fourth single.
At the time of the U.S. release of "And I", Ciara's collaboration with Bow Wow, "Like You", and her collaboration with Missy Elliott, "Lose Control", were at the height of their popularity. "And I" peaked at 96 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and 27 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, which were poor positions compared to those attained by the first three singles from the album Goodies. It was not released outside North America because of this, and it is Ciara's least successful single.

Lyrics: Prophet of god In quest of the uttermost Long have you searched the distances for your ship And now your ship has come and you must needs go Deep is your longing for the land of your memories And the dwelling place of your greater desires And our love would not bind you Nor our needs hold you Yet this we ask ere you leave us That you speak to us and give us of your truth This is a journey Into the desert As I enter the measure On the back of a camel That was robotic And I got it from a lizard-man That came from a hole in the sky That came down in a prehistoric time With a holographic rhyme Accelerating mankind From a grunt...
