About this person
Sayyid Moḥammad Abdallah Hassan Nur Ismaan Rer-Amar was a Somali scholar, poet, military leader and religious, cultural and political figure who founded and headed the Taleh-based Dervish movement, which led a holy war against British, Italian and Ethiopian colonial intrusions in the Somali Peninsula. He was pejoratively known by the British Empire as the Mad Mullah. In 1917, the Ottoman Empire referred to him as the "Emir of the Somali People." Due to his successful completion of the Hajj to Mecca, his assertion of being the descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his complete memorization of the Quran, his name is preluded with honorifics such as Hajji, Hafiz, Emir, Sheikh, Mullah or Sayyid. His influence led him to being regarded as among the "Father of Somali nationalism."
