Barakat ibn Umar Din

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barakat ibn Umar Din (16th century) was a sultan of Adal and brother of Ali ibn Umar Din. He was the last known member of the Walashma dynasty.

In 1555, Barakat and Ali Jamal ibn al-Imam Ahmad led an army into Dawaro with the intent of taking it from the Ethiopians, but he was defeated by the governor of Dawaro. When Nur ibn Mujahid invaded Ethiopia in 1559, Sultan Barakat held Harar against the army of Hamalmal, who had been sent there by his cousin Emperor Gelawdewos.
