Abstract	:	The most influential Alawī clans in East Africa have, according to Alawī genealogy, been the Āl Jamāl al-Layl and the Āl Shaykh Abī Bakr b. Sālim (al-Mashhūr, Shams al-ẓahīra ).The ʿAlawī clan has its origin in Ḥaḍramawt, Yemen, but is now spread throughout the rim of the Indian Ocean, accompanying the Ḥaḍramī diaspora. Its development from a descent based clan line to a Ṣūfī order started in the seventh/thirteenth century, and this process is particularly linked to the name of al-Faqīh al- Muqaddam al-Sayyid
