Pūkkoya family alias Pathiya māļiyèkkal family(പതിയ മാളിയെക്കൽ) of Panakkad is a Yemeni-origin Hussaynite Ba Alawi House of sayyid family based in present-day northern Kerala.[1] The family, claiming descent from the family of Muhammad through Hussayn bin Ali, is generally revered by the Sunni Shāfiʿī Kerala Muslims.[2] The family got the name 'Pukkoya family' from Habib Ali Shihabudden AlHussaini Ba Alavi, who was called as 'P. M. S. A. Pukkoya Thangal'(Sayyid Pathiya Maliyekkal Sayeed Ahmed AlHussainy Pookoya Thangal) by the keralites.The thangals are respected as religious and political leaders amongst the Muslims of Kerala.[2]
The Panakkad family descended from Habib Ali Shihabudden AlHussaini Ba Alavi who emigrated from the Ḥaḍramawt region of Yemen to Valappattanam,Kerala in the 18th century along with his family.[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]
