Some legends say that Haji Aliye was the father of the Silte ethnic group and that during his lifetime, he fathered 6 children: Gensilte, Abecho, Oyete, Semeredin, Dilapa, and Alekero, and that the combination of these families created the Silte ethnic group.
When Haji Aliye reached Silte, the place where he settled was in the current Berbere district of East Azernet, according to historians of the ethnic group. It is known that their origins are related to the Islamic religion. There is a mosque named after them in this place. It is called the Haji Aliye Mosque.
Haji Ali Mosque is located in Umnan Kebele, under the eastern Azernet Berbere district, 50 km west of the zone capital and 5 km from the district capital, Kilto . In addition to being located at the foot of the Azernet Berbere mountain range, the mosque is also said to be the place where Haji Ali first settled. There is a rural road that is only accessible in the summer to the mosque.
Haji Ali Mosque is the oldest mosque in the zone and is said to be the place of prayer for the nation's first father. The tomb of Haji Ali is located in this area, indicating that he was both the first and last to die. The tomb and the mosque are located nearby. The Haji Ali Mosque has been in the same place since ancient times, except for the fact that it has been rebuilt over the years. The Haji Ali Mosque is currently in two states, the oldest being made of straw and the other made of corrugated iron.
A stone still stands in the courtyard of the mosque, which is said to be where the muezzin used to stand during Haji Aliyeh, and the stones arranged in rows at the bottom of the mosque are said to have been used as a walkway after ablution. The mosque was used to host various cultural and religious activities, and religious activities are still held today. Not far from the Haji Aliyeh Mosque, in Alcho Wuriro district, there is an ancient mosque with a similar structure, named after Begen Silte, the son of Haji Aliyeh.
