During the late 18th century and the 19th century, the bulk of today's Shi'a Zubaid in Iraq converted to Shia Islam. However, the Bani Hukayyim section (of the Zubaid) only converted to Shi'ism during the latter part of the 19th century.
Some sections of Zubaid, such as Al-Ajeel tribe in Tikrit, and Al-Jhaishat in Suwaira remain Sunni Muslims.
Other tribes that trace their lineage to Zubaid have their own separate Shaikhs, or tribal leaders, including Dulaim
, Juboor, Azzah, Ubaid, Al Bu Sultan, Al Bu Mohammed Shuwailat and Al Suwaed.
