Muhammad Dan Abdullahi, known as Muhammad Kisoki, was the ruler of the Hausa Sultanate of Kano from 1509 until his death in 1565. His reign was during the Rumfawa era of the Bagauda Dynasty and was one of the longest in the State's history. Under Kisoki's leadership, the state reached its zenith, gaining suzerainty over all of Hausaland along with other Kingdoms in the Sahel which resulted in a Kano Empire.
Abdullahi Dan Kanajeji, known as Abdullahi Burja, was the sixteenth ruler of Kano. Through forging of powerful alliances and the creation of trade routes, Burja shifted the identity of the Kano Sultanate towards trade and commerce, what Kano and the Kanoan people are known for today. He was the first Hausa King to pay tribute to Bornu and in doing so secured an agreement that allowed him to open trade routes from Gwanja to Bornu. He was also the first King to own camels in Hausaland. This shift towards trade saw an intensification of slave raids by Kano towards the south to export to Bornu. Abdullahi Burja through his Galadima created twenty one new slave colonies, each with a thousand slaves of an equal split between male and female slaves. Slowly, trade in Kano shifted towards other commodities and by the end of the 15th Century, Kano had emerged as one of the most vibrant trading centers in the Sahel. Through trade, the Hausa language and culture was spread throughout the region.
