Editing Prince (section)

=== Islam ===
* Arabian tradition since the [[caliphate]]: In several monarchies it remains customary to use the title [[sheikh]] (in itself below princely rank) for all members of the royal family. In families (often reigning dynasties) which claim descent from [[Muhammad]], this is expressed in either of a number of titles (supposing different exact relations): sayid, sharif; these are retained even when too remote from any line of succession to be a member of any dynasty.
* In Saudi Arabia the title of [[Emir]] is used in role of prince for all members of the [[House of Saud]].
* In Iraq, the direct descendants of previous Emirs from the largest tribes, who ruled the kingdoms before modern statehood, use the title of Sheikh or Prince as the progeny of royalty.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Howell |first=Georgina |title=Queen of The Desert: The Extraordinary Life of Gertrude Bell |date=15 January 2015 |publisher=Pan Books |isbn=9781447286264}}</ref>
* In the Ottoman Empire, the sovereign of imperial rank (incorrectly known in the west as ''(Great) sultan'') was styled ''[[padishah]]'' with a host of additional titles, reflecting his claim as political successor to the various conquered states. Princes of the blood, male, were given the style [[Şehzade]].
* Persia (Iran)—Princes as members of a royal family, are referred to by the title ''Shahzadeh'', meaning "descendant of the king". Since the word ''zadeh'' could refer to either a male or female descendant, ''Shahzadeh'' had the parallel meaning of "princess" as well. Princes can also be sons of provincial kings ([[Khan (title)|Khan]]) and the title referring to them would be the title of Khanzadeh. Princes as people who got a title from the King are called "[[Mirza (noble)|Mirza]]", diminutive of "Amir Zadeh" (King's Son).
* In Indian Muslim dynasties, the most common titles were ''[[Mirza (noble)|Mirza]]'' (from ''Amirzada'') and ''[[Shah#Shahzada|Shahzada]]''; while ''[[Nawabzada]]'' and ''[[Sahibzada]]'' were also given to younger blood princes.
* In [[Kazakh Khanate]] the title Sultan was used for lords from a ruling dynasty (direct descendants of [[Genghis Khan]]), that gives them a right to be elected as [[khan (title)|khan]], as an experienced ruler; and an honorific ''[[Zhuz|tore]]'', another name for the clan, ([[:ru:Торе (род)]]) for ordinary members of a ruling dynasty.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Noda |first=Jin |date=2016 |title=The Kazakh Khanates Between the Russian and Qing Empires: Central Eurasian International Relations During the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries |location=Leiden, Netherlands |publisher=Brill |isbn=978-90-04-31447-4 |oclc=944246657 }}</ref>
