Hummay was from about 1075 the mai (ruler) of the nomadic Sayfawa confederacy, in central Chad, that was later to be known as the Kanem-Bornu Empire. He is also thought by some historians to be the true founder of the Sayfawa dynasty, that was to survive till 1846. His rule is of great importance because of his conversion to Islam. This provocated some dissension, causing the Zaghawa to break from the empire and move east.
