The Sharif al-Ulama family are descendants of Mir Abd al-Baqi Musavi who was one of the greatest religious scholars of Rasht. He was known as Hujjat al-Islam (the title of the highest ranking scholars at that time) and he was granted the title Sharif al-Ulama by the shah of the time.

He was the son of Sayyid Alireza son of Mir Idris son of Sayyid Husain of the Musavi Sadat of Ziabar in the Gilan province. He is therefore related to scholars such as Ayatollah Sayyid Mahmoud Ziabari, Ayatollah Mir Nejat Ziabari and Ayatollah Sayyid Abd al-Wahab Saleh Ziabari. Being the first of the Sadat of Ziabar to move to Rasht he is also known as Mir Abd al-Baqi Rashti.

His lineage goes back 15 generations to the famous mystic and poet Sayyid Sharafshah Dulabi also known as Pir Sharafshah. Sayed Sharafshah Dulabi was himself a descendant of Imam Musa al-Kazim. He was living in the time around 1390 at the same time of Amir Sasan Gaskari. Sayyid Sharafshah Dulabi was buried near Rezvanshahr. The poetry of Sayyid Sharafshah Dulabi is the first recorded poetry in Gilaki.

When two of Sayyid Sharafshah Dulabis descendants, Sayyid Mohammad Jan and Sayyid Moula Jan, returned to Gilan from Najaf they were given the area of Ziabar by the ruler of the time. At that time Ziabar was very close to the centre of power of the local ruler. This shows the significance of the family in the eyes of the local ruler. The Sadat of Ziabar are all descendants of Sayyid Mohammad Jan and Sayyid Moula Jan.

Because of the family's origin as a Hashimite family it has always been a noble family. Most family members have been important and influential Islamic scholars in their local area.
