  General Description  
The Emirate of Harar was the successor of the Imamate of Aussa. The Emirate was founded in the middle of the seventh century by Ali B. Dawud. The capital of the Emirate was Harar, which is one of the holiest cities in the Islamic world. During the time of the Emirate, Harar was an important Islamic centre for Quranic studies and learning with large numbers of mosques, schools and saint shrines in the city. The Emirate of Harar was also a pivotal trade centre of Ethiopia, linking the Red Sea and the interior of Ethiopia. [1] The Emirate of Ethiopia was occupied by the Khedivate of Egypt in 1875, officially ending the Emirate’s rule. [2]
