Habar Awal Subclans

Habar Awal is one of the major subclans of the Somali Isaaq family. Its members inhabit the western and northern portions of Woqooyi Galbeed, Saaxil, and around the road between Burco and Berbera of Somaliland. They also inhabit Ethiopia's eastern Haud area. The Habar Awal is named for the youngest son of Sheikh Ishaaq.

And Isaaq married Habar Magaado (who was thought to be Oromo), Habar Xabuush ( who is thought to be Xabashi. ) and Sharifo ( who is thought to be light skinned Oromo from Herar). Sharifo died and was buried while pregnant.

When Shekh Isxaaq heard the burial he ordered to dig the burial and get awal from her body. Thanks God awal was alive.
