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.
