'''Dhanyal''' ({{lang-ur| دھنیال}} or '''Dhanial''') is one of the biggest tribe living in Potohar level and Lower Himalayas throughout the previous eight centuries. Dhanyal tribe follows its genealogy to Hazrat Ali Ibne Talib (R.A.), consisting of Hazrat Ali's descendants. Moaazam Shah, known prestigiously as Dhani Pir, is considered as the ancestor of the Dhanyal Tribe. Dhanyals are not to be confused with the Fatmi descendants of Hazrat Ali (Razil Allah Anha). They have a place with Hazrat Ali's ninth spouse Hazrat Khola bint-e-Ayas bin Jaffar Bannu Hanifa. Hazrat Khola brought fourth Hazrat Ali's celebrated child Muhammad bin Ali known as Muhammad bin Hanfia.

'''History:'''
 
The name 'Dhanyal' is gotten from Mohazzam Shah which was the name of chief and renowned Sufi holy person of Lower Himalayas who moved from Dhani (old name of Chakwal) in late twelfth century. Ancestors of Mohazzam Shah who were Arab Muslims - relocated from Iraq into Multan during the time of Shahab Ud Din Muhammad Ghori. Descendants of Mohazzam Shah managed Multan state for around 190 years. Mohazzam Shah upheld Muhammad Ghori to check the exercises of Hindu Rajputs who forcefully assault Muslim army of Muhammad Ghori. Because of impact of the Mohazzam Shah known as Hazrat Baba Dhani Pir, numerous non-Muslims of this space changed over to Islam. Mohazzam Shah was the profound head of Dhanyal, Satti and Abbasi tribe in the space of Murree Hills, plain space of Potohar and Kashmir.

'''Misconception:'''
 
There is general misconception about Dhanyal tribe. During the period of British rule, they were included as Rajput tribe in 1891, 1901, 1911 and 1931 census. As they are not Rajput, but the Alvis.
 
Some from Dhanyal tribe write the title "Raja" with their names, which doesn't imply that the tribe is any offshot of Rajput – they are Alvi and Arab Muslims like Awan and Shaikh or Qureshi, Abbasi and Sayed. Some individual from the tribe called themselves as Shah, it does not implies that they are [[Sayyid|Sayed]],<ref>''Sayyids'' migrated many centuries ago from different parts of the [[Middle East]] and [[Central Asia]] ([[Turkestan]]) during the invasion of the [[Mongols]], [[Ghaznavids|Ghaznavid dynasty]], [[Delhi Sultanate]], and [[Mughal Empire]], encompassing a timespan of roughly until the late 19th century. ''Sayyids'' migrated to [[Sindh]], [[Uch]], and [[Attock Khurd]] (Punjab) in the north, present day Pakistan  and settled there very early.</ref> it is demonstrated that Dhanyals are non-Fatimi relatives of Hazrat Ali Al-Murtaza (RA).
