We come to the story of the entry of Islam into those countries, a story that is closer to legends … It was documented by the traveler Ibn Battuta in his book (Tahfat al-Nazar in the Wonders of the Ancient Worlds and Strange Monuments) … The story is inscribed on a mural next to the Great Mosque in Malé. Islam entered these islands at the beginning of the fifth century AH (in 1153 AD) when a young Muslim student of the Holy Quran from the Maghreb named Abu al-Barakat Yusuf al-Berberi arrived on its shores. It is said that the ship in which he was sailing was wrecked off the shores of one of these islands, and the waves threw him to the shore, where he was treated and taken care of by a fisherman with his family, and hosted him in his home, where he learned the language of the inhabitants. One day, that young man saw the fisherman and his wife crying bitterly, and learned from them that the lot had fallen on their young daughter to offer her as a sacrifice to the island’s monster, as the villagers used to offer the monster a girl every month, put her at night at the edge of the forest, and the monster would come and take her, and after that he would not harm the villagers for the whole month, that young man decided to go instead of that girl to the forest, and told the fisherman and his family that he would be fine, God willing. He began to recite Surah Yasin and the verses of the Holy Quran throughout the night, and he could feel the monster approaching him, and if he heard the verses, he would move away. Until the sun rose, and the young man repeated it three nights, and the monster went away and did not return on the fourth night, and the villagers got rid of it when the sultan, whose name was Maha Kalamanga, heard about this young man, summoned him and asked him about the truth of the matter, so he read the Holy Quran to him, told him about Islam, and invited him to it … The king converted to Islam, changed his name to Muhammad bin Abdullah, and all the people of the country became Muslims.
