Pukkoya family of Panakkad

Pukkoya family of Panakkad is a Yemeni-origin sayyid (thangal) family based in present-day northern Kerala.[1] The family, claiming descent from the family of Prophet Muhammad, is generally revered by the Sunni Shāfiʿī Kerala Muslims.[2] The thangals remain highly respected as religious and political leaders amongst the Muslims of Kerala.[2]

Sayyid Muhammedali Shihab Thangal (1936 - 2009)

The Panakkad family descended from Sayyid Ali who emigrated from the Ḥaḍramawt region of Yemen to Kerala in the 18th century.[1][3][4] By the 19th century, the ethnic Yemenis came to occupy a powerful position within the north Kerala Muslim community.[4] They were eventually recognized as the theological, juridical, and political community leaders of Kerala Muslims.[4]

Kodappanakal House is the ancestral house of the family. Sayyid Hyderali Shihab Thangal (born 1947) is the current eldest Panakkad Thangal.[5]
