The Adal Sultanate, also known as the Adal Empire or Bar Saʿad dīn (alt. spelling Adel Sultanate, Adal Sultanate) (Arabic: سلطنة عدل), was a medieval Sunni Muslim Empire which was located in the Horn of Africa.[3] It was founded by Sabr ad-Din III on the Harar plateau in Adal after the fall of the Sultanate of Ifat.[4] The kingdom flourished c. 1415 to 1577.[5] At its height, the polity under Sultan Badlay controlled the territory stretching from Cape Guardafui in Somalia to the port city of Suakin in Sudan.[6][7][8][9][10][11] The Adal Empire maintained a robust commercial and political relationship with the Ottoman Empire.[12] Sultanate of Adal was alternatively known as the federation of Zeila.[13]
