    Advent of Islam

    Introduction of Islam
    What is Islam, and what do Muslims believe?
    - In about 610 A.D., the angel Gabriel appeared to a man named Muhammad in the
    city of Mecca in present day Saudi Arabia. Gabriel told Muhammad that God had
    commissioned Muhammad as His last prophet.
    -Islam is a religious system begun by Muhammad. It is a religion that believes in one
    God.
    - Islam means submission, deriving from a root word that means peace. The
    word Muslim means one who submits to Allah.

    The Arrival of Islam


    The periods following the demise of the Prophet Muhammad - led to the expansion
    of Islam to Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia. In Southeast Asia, Islam was
    promulgated by three methods: by Muslim traders in the course of peaceful trade;
    by preachers and holy men who set out from India and Arabia specifically to convert
    idolaters and animist and increase the knowledge of the faithful; and by war waged
    against heathen states.
    It was in North Sumatra that the trade route from India and the west reached the
    archipelago, and Islam first obtained a firm footing in Southeast Asia. Malacca, the
    main trading center of the area in the 15th century, became the great stronghold of
    the faith, from where it spread out. In the 10th century, Islam's influence intensified
    and reached as far as ancient Malaysia.
    The spread of Islam to Old Malaysia was brought about by the activities of the Arab
    traders, missionaries, and teachers who introduced their religious beliefs among the
    Malays.
    The arrival of Islam to Mindanao and Sulu is most probably was the result of the
    missionary activities of Arab traders and teachers or sufis who came along the trade
    routes.
    The early missionaries who came to the Philippines were guided by Islamic
    principles of no religious compulsion, thus the gradual and liberal promulgation of
    Islam. Known as Mukhdumin, these missionaries did not mean to conquer the
    territories or exploit its inhabitants but to teach, and guide people to the right path.
    Tuan Mashaikaaccording to Sulu Geneology, he was the first person to introduce
    Islam who arrived in the 13th century.

    Karim ul-Makhdum was later called Tuan Sharif Aulia. He was an Arabian scholar
    who laid the foundation of Islam in Malaysia.
    -

    He arrived in the Malay Peninsula about the middle of the 14 th century.


    He succeeded in establishing in Malacca, a foothold for Islam, and
    proceeded to Sulu and preached the doctrines of Mohammed in 1380. He
    was the first Muslim missionary in Sulu.
    He built the oldest mosque in the Philippines known as Sheikh Karim-ul
    Makhdum Mosque located in Tubig Indangan, Simunul, Tawi-Tawi,
    Philippines.
    He died in Sibuto, Tawi-Tawi.

    Raja Baguinda (1390) one of the petty rulers of Menangkabaw, Sumatra.


    -

    Arrived in Sulu and promptly converted some of the natives of Islam.

    Abu Bakr follows Raja Baguindas religious activities and left Palembang for Sulu
    about 1450.
    -

    He belonged to a sharif lineage, which is one of the descendants of Nabi


    Muhammad.
    He married Paramisuli, Raja Baguindas daughter.
    He became a sultan and established a government patterned after the
    Sultanate of Arabia. As he rose to power, he assumed five titles affixed to his
    name, thus his official name runs as follows: paduka, mawlana, mahasiri,
    sharif sultan Hashim Abubakar.
    Islam spread rapidly to all parts of Sulu.

    Sharif Kabungsuan- arrived to Mindanao from Johore with his men, who quickly
    began laying the foundations of Islam.
    -

    First sultan of Mindanao

    When the Spanish fleet led by Miguel Lpez de Legazpi arrived in the Philippines in
    1565, they were met by local datus as they traveled in the islands. Arriving in the
    Kingdom of Maynila, a vassal-state of the Sultanate of Brunei, in 1570 they were
    met by the Muslim rajah, Rajah Sulayman.
    Rajah Sulayman- was the Muslim Rajah of Maynila, a kingdom at the mouth of the
    Pasig River where it meets Manila Bay, at the time the Spanish forces first came to
    Luzon.
    Sulayman resisted the Spanish forces, and thus, along with Rajah Matanda and
    Lakan Dula, was one of three Rajahs who played significant roles in what was the
    Spanish conquest of their kingdoms of the Pasig River delta in the early 1570s.
    Second half of the 16th century the arrival of the Spaniards and the subsequent
    conquest of Luzon led the Muslims to retreat to the south.
    The conversion to Islam give the light to all settlements in this region who were
    animists become strong Muslims leaving worshipping the creatures. It gave way to
    the uncompromising belief in one single Supreme Being called Allah, on the equality
    and brotherhood of the faithful, on the establishment of goodwill and prosperity to

    all. And revolutionized the lifestyles of the faithful in all spheres of existence. They
    become bravest defenders of Islam against those who trying to destroy their belief.
