Islam was introduced to the Horn of Africa early on from the Arabian peninsula, shortly after the hijra. Zeila's Masjid al-Qiblatayn (Two-mihrab Mosque) dates to the 7th century, and is the oldest mosque in the city. In the late 9th century, Al-Yaqubi wrote that Muslims were living along the northern Somali seaboard. Among these early migrants was Abdirahman bin Isma'il al-Jabarti, the forefather of the Darod clan family.Al-Maqrizi noted that a number of the Muslims settled in the Zeila-controlled Jabarta region is now northeastern Somalia, and from there slowly expanded into the hinterland in the horn of Africa.
