Malik bin Dinar & Friends (R.A) arrive at Malabar

On arriving at Malabar, the Arab travelers who had travelled with Cheraman Perumal, (tajuddin r.a ) built mosques at Koylandi, Ezhumala, Kodungallur, Porakkavur, Mangalapuram. Later they also built in Kasargode, Shrikandapuram, Dharmapatnam and Chaliyam. From there, Malik bin Dinar, Malik bin Habib and friends arrived at Kollam.

After a staying for some period, (Malik bin Dinar r.a) and a group left for Shehr Muqalla. They passed away on 825 A.D., according to some historians, or on 831 A.D., according to others.

The Arab travelers returning from Ceylon landed at Malabar and introduced the religion of Islam to the resident Arabs (who had come earlier). Following their conversion to Islam, the king of that place also embraced Islam. This incident happened at the time of the Rightly Guided Caliphate  (Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, Umar al-Farooq, Uthman bin Affan, Ali bin Abi Talib-(r.a) Allah be pleased with them.) or at the beginning of Umayyad rule.
