[1][2] Haji Yasin had spent years studying in Egypt and returned to the Somaliland Protectorate in 1956 with a goal to form a religious organisation that was vehemently anti-government and anti-Christian imperialism.
Party of Allah was created in 1956 by Haji Yasin and other notable Habr Yunis religious figures with the goals of defending Islam and eradicating tribalism.
The Administration did not feel that it could ignore this faction...Yasin attempted to put a stop to inter-tribal conflicts by founding a group that would transcend tribal allegiances while maintaining an emphasis on Islam as the core of Somali identity.
Professor of African studies John Markakis in The 1963 rebellion in the Ogaden states : The founders of Nasser Allah were allegedly inspired by the example of Hadj Yasin Handuleh, a religious leader of the Habr Yunis (Issaq) tribe in the Haud.
Seeking an end to it, Hadj Yasin sought to create an organization that transcended tribal loyalties, as the nationalist parties claimed to do, but still focused on Islam as the essence of Somali identity and unity.
