The '''Darod''' ({{lang-so|'''Darood''' or '''Daarood'''}}, {{lang-ar|بني داوود}}) is a [[Somali clan]]. The father of this clan is named [[Abdirahman bin Isma'il al-Jabarti]], but is more commonly known as ''Darod''. In the [[Somali language]], the word ''Daarood'' means "an enclosed compound," a conflation of the two words ''daar'' (compound) and ''ood'' (place enclosed by wall, trees, woods, fence, etc).

The Darod ([Daarood] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help), Arabic: بني داوود) is a Somali clan. The father of this clan is named Abdirahman bin Isma'il al-Jabarti, but is more commonly known as Darod. In the Somali language, the word Daarood means "an enclosed compound," a conflation of the two words daar (compound) and ood (place enclosed by wall, trees, woods, fence, etc).

The Darod population in Somalia lives principally in the north, with a presence in the Mogadishu area as well as southwestern Somalia. Outside of Somalia proper, there are various Darod sub-clans in the Somali Region and the North Eastern Province (currently administered by Ethiopia and Kenya, respectively), as well as Yemen. Several sources, including the Canadian Report of the Somalia Commission of Inquiry, indicate that the Darod is the largest Somali clan.[1][2] However, other sources such as the CIA and Human Rights Watch indicate that the Hawiye is the largest Somali clan.[3][4]

History

The majority of Darod clan members claim to be descendants of Muhammad ibn Aqil, son of Aqeel ibn Abi Talib. Aqeel ibn Abi Talib was the second of four sons of Abu Talib ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib, who was the uncle and protector of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. Abu Talib during those early days was head of the Banu Hashim. The Darod have strong tribal relationships with the other Hashemites.

According to early Islamic books and Somali tradition, Muhammad ibn Aqil's descendant Abdirahman bin Isma'il al-Jabarti (Darod), a son of the Sufi sheikh of the Qadiriyyah order, fled his homeland in the Arabian Peninsula after an argument with his uncle.[5] Between the late 7th and 14th centuries BCE,[6] he is believed to have then settled in northern Somalia just across the Red Sea and married the daughter of the Dir chief, which is said to have given rise to the Darod clan family.[5] A similar clan mythology exists for the Isaaq, whom are said to have descended from one Sheikh Isaaq bin Ahmed al-Hashimi, another Banu Hashim who came to Somalia around the same time.[5][7]

The Darod were supporters of Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi during his 16th century conquest of Ethiopia, especially the Geri, Marehan, Yabarre, Harti, Bartire sub-clans, who fought at the Battle of Shimbra Kure and many others.[8]

Nobility

Darod has produced numerous noble Somali men and women over the centuries, including many Sultans. Traditionally, the Darod population was mostly concentrated in the northern and northeastern cities on the Gulf of Aden and upper Indian Ocean coast in the Horn of Africa. Darod noble men ruled these settlement pockets until the European colonial powers changed the political dynamics of Somalia during the late 19th century. Before many Darods began pushing southward in the mid-1850s, Warsangeli sultanates governed the interior regions of Sanaag, Mudug and Sool, while Majerteen sultanates held steadfast in solidly established posts from Bosaso to Hobyo.

In addition to their traditional strongholds in northern Somalia, Marehan, Ogaden, and Harti Darod members settled further down south and southwest in the Gedo region (a region which was part of Upper Jubba as well as the entire length of the Jubbaland region, composed of Gedo, Middle Jubba and Lower Jubba).

Lineage

Darod is the son of the famous Sufi Sheikh, Ismail bin Ibrahim Al-Jabarti, who is believed to have been born in Arabia. He is considered by almost all Darod Somalis to be descended from the Bani Hashim.

According to the book Aqeeliyoon, his lineage is: Abdirahmaan Bin Ismaa'iil Bin Ibraahim Bin Abdirahmaan Bin Muhammed Bin Abdi Samad Bin Hanbal Bin Mahdi Bin Ahmed Bin Abdallah Bin Muhammed Bin Aqil Bin Abu-Talib Bin Abdul-Mutalib Bin Hashim. [7]

Sons of Daarood Ismail

Darod had five sons:

  • Muhammad bin Abdirahman: Maxamed-Kablalax Daarood
  • Ahmed bin Abdirahman: Axmed-Sade Daarood
  • Hussien bin Abdirahman: Xuseen-Tanade Daarood
  • Yousuf bin Abdirahman: Yusuuf-Awrtable Daarood
  • Eissa bin Abdirahman: Ciise Daarood
