About
The historic Malik Dinar Juma Masjid, constructed in the iconic Kerala style, is said to have been built by and named after the man who is credited with bringing Islam to India. Over 1500 years ago, Malik Ibn Deenar and 12 associates landed in Kerala to trade and spread the message and teachings of Islam. His delegation reached modern day Kasaragod and caught the attention of the local ruler, Cheraman Perumal. He was so enamoured by these traders that he himself would convert to Islam. The mosque was erected in 642 AD and has had a few renovations since. This beautiful structure is the site of local celebrations annually to mark the commemoration of the arrival of that first group of traders.
