Everything about Sheekhaal totally explained
Sheikhal (var.
Sheikhaal,
Sheekhaal,
Sheikal,
Shikal) or
Fiqi Omar is a
Somali clan whose members inhabit both
Somalia and the
Somali Region of
Ethiopia, with considerable numbers in northeastern
Kenya. Some Sheikhals, particularly the
Aw Axmed Loobage subclan, claim they're part of the larger
Hawiye group, while others, such as the
Aw-Qutub subclan, dispute this.
The Sheikhal clan traces its ancestry to Fiqi Omar, who was the companion of
Sheikh Yusuf Al Kawneyn, who together spearheaded a renaissance of
Islam in all
Somali-inhabited areas of the
Horn of Africa around the thirteenth century. Fiqi Omar, also known as Omar Al-Rida, in turn traced his lineage to the first
caliph,
Abu Bakr (Sayid Abubakar Al-Sadiq). Many prominent Somali Muslim scholars, such as Sheikh
Ibrahim Dusuuqi,
Sheekh Qudubi,Shaykh
Umar Faruuq and Sheikh
Mohamed Ahmed Mussa (or Hagi Chadi) came from the Sheikhal tribe.
