The Sultanate of Ifat, known as Wafāt or Awfāt in Arabic texts,[3] or the Kingdom of Zeila[4] was a medieval Sunni Muslim state in the eastern regions of the Horn of Africa between the late 13th century and early 15th century.[5][6][7] It was formed in present-day Somaliland, with Zeila as its prominent center, and later expanded via conquest reaching as far as Shewa.[8][9][10] Led by the Walashma dynasty, the polity stretched from Zequalla to the port city of Zeila.[11] The kingdom ruled over parts of what are now Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somaliland, Somalia.
