Contemporary and medieval explications on the Ghuraba hadiths have given various archetypes on the whom constitutes a member of the Ghuraba. One analyst has described Muslim converts or reverts as being Ghuraba if they are amongst people who were born into Muslim families. Ibn al-Qayyim referred to Ghuraba as eccentric and noncomformist individuals, claiming that they are considered strange or weird even among fellow Muslims. His archetype of the Ghuraba followed a pedigree chart whereby the most untenable Ghuraba were Muslims among non-Muslims, followed by steadfast Muslims among ordinary Muslims, and then Islamic scholars among steadfast Muslims.Basiron, Noor Fazilah Mohd.
