History

Lineage

Sheikh Ishaaq ibn Ahmed was one of the Arabian scholars that crossed the sea from Arabia to the Horn of Africa to spread Islam around 12th to 13th century. He is said to have been descended from Prophet Mohammed's daughter Fatimah. Hence the Sheikh belonged to the Ashraf or Sada, titles given to the descendants of the prophet. He married two local women in Somaliland that left him eight sons, one of them being Muhammad (Imran). The descendants of those eight sons constitute the Isaaq clan-family.[13]

Distribution

The Ibran primarily reside in Togdheer region in Somaliland, as well as the Somali Region in Ethiopia.[10][11] They also have a large settlement in Kenya where they are known as a constituent segment of the Isahakia community.[14][15]
