Cheraman Mosque Kerala: First mosque in the subcontinent

[Spring Onion]

Thank you incredible for posting the stuff

Sorry to burst your bubble. The story that Cheraman Permal converted to Islam after seeing the moon split is laughable. Because the moon was never split and perumal never converted to Islam.

Islam came to Malabar with the contact of Arab merchant settling and inter marrying with locals. Their number increased gradually .Until 1700 the percentage of Muslims was about 3% in Kerala . After that a lot of revolts culminating in the 1921 Mappila Lahala and the invasion of Malabar by Tippu sultan/Haider increased the Muslim presence .Now it stands at 25% .That is the truth.

The Cheraman Mosque in Kerala India is the first Mosque built in sub-continent. And it was built by the Raja of Bhopal.


I want to know the story behind construction of this mosque by a non-Muslim (who by some history is said to be a converted Muslim).
Wrong
It was build by a tamil king from south and he was cheraman perumal!!
Yes it is rumoured he had met prophet muhammed himself and he died on the way back home!!!
His followers (hindus fo course) built the mosque in his memory for his contribution to society!!!!
They say he converted to islam, however no concrete proof is available on anything

Indian members here have some information ?

Interesting....I never would've thought that there'd have been a mosque in Kerale before there was one in Sindh or Punjab.

Not a big news, once I quoted this to somebody in this very forum, who was not ready to admit it and said it is Pakistanis who are the first one in the Indian sub Continent.

NO he was over-zealously trying to prove something..it is been quite long back. And what will I get telling a lie? Think rationally..

Its not just Islam....almost all foreign religions started from kerala in the sub continent. Even today kerala is the definition of religious harmony. Throughout kerala's history, you can see Hindus building mosques, Muslims building temples, Christians building temples etc. Religious harmony is one of THE main reason why parties like the BJP has never been able to gain foothold in our precious state. Truly, " God's own country".
