The Sultanate of Harar was a Harari and Somali kingdom in Harar, situated in present-day Ethiopia. It succeeded the Adal Sultanate, and was founded by Amīr Nur ibn Mujahid to carry on the Conquest of Abyssinia (Futuh al-Habash) of Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi (Imām Aḥmed Gurēy). The Sultanate of Harar's dynastic leadership was vied between the relatives of Imām Aḥmed Gurēy and the family of ʿIsmān AlḤabashi, Amīr Nūr's chosen successor. Due to encroaching Oromo movements from the south, it was ultimately a short lived state, lasting only 18 years (albeit 51 years with the reign of Imām Aḥmed Gurēy as a start). The Sultanate's capital was subsequently moved east to the oasis of Awsa by Imām Maḥamed "Jāsa" Ibrahim, who founded the Imamate of Awsa.
