Cheraman Perumal: The Hindu King Who Brought Islam to India | Dr Nasir Baig

In this episode of Global Sach Podcast with Dr Nasir Baig, we explore the powerful and lesser-known story of Cheraman Perumal, the Hindu king of Kerala who is remembered in Muslim tradition as one of the earliest rulers in India to accept Islam. According to popular Malabar and Kerala Muslim traditions, Cheraman Perumal witnessed the miracle of Shaqq al-Qamar — the splitting of the moon — and later traveled to Arabia to learn about Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It is said that he accepted Islam, took the name Tajuddin, and supported the arrival of Muslim traders and preachers in South India. This episode discusses the story of Cheraman Perumal, Malik bin Dinar, the early Arab traders, the spread of Islam in Kerala, and the foundation of the historic Cheraman Juma Masjid in Kodungallur — often remembered as one of the earliest mosques in India. We also explain why Islam reached South India through trade, peace, character, spiritual influence, and cultural connection, long before many military conquests in North India.
