History

The tomb of Sheikh Isaaq in Maydh, Sanaag.

The Issa Musse was one of the grandsons of Sheikh Isaaq Bin Ahmed, one of the Arabian scholars that crossed the sea from Arabia to the Horn of Africa to spread Islam between the 12th and 13th centuries. He is said to have been descended from Muhammad's daughter Fatimah. Hence the Sheikh belonged to the Ashraf or Sada, titles given to the descendants of Muhammad. It is said he married two local women in Somalia that left him eight sons and Abdirahman Suber Awal was of them while Issa Musse was son Subeer Awal.[5]
