who are you again ?
I am the one who carries the name of the one who brought islam to india
Old Jumma Masjid, India
This Mosque is in Kilakarai, Tamil Nadu built during the Pandiya Dynasty by Yemeni Merchant after being ordered by the Emperor of Yemen after accepting Islam in the Prophet’s period. Built in 628 and reconstructed again in the 11th century, this Mosque (masjid) stands proud, tested by time and is a symbol of Islam at its prime that spread via sea routes. Ibn Battuta also mentions this Mosque (masjid) in his Rihla saying that “the people there lived as though they were in the Arab land”
In 1398, Timur invaded northern India, attacking the Delhi Sultanate ruled by Sultan Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud Shah Tughluq of the Tughlaq Dynasty. He was opposed by Ahirs and Jats but the Sultanate at Delhi did nothing to stop him.[38] After crossing the Indus river on 30 September 1398, he sacked Tulamba and massacred its inhabitants.[39] Then he advanced and captured Multan by October.[40]
Timur crossed the Indus River at Attock (now Pakistan) on 24 September 1398. His invasion did not go unopposed and he encountered resistance by the Governor of Meerut during the march to Delhi. Timur was still able to continue his approach to Delhi, arriving in 1398, to fight the armies of Sultan Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud Shah Tughluq, which had already been weakened by a succession struggle within the royal family.
He was just 770 year late :/
