The Cheraman Juma Mosque (Шаблон:Lang-ml) (Шаблон:Lang-ar) (Шаблон:Lang-ta) is a mosque in Methala, Kodungallur, Thrissur in the Indian state of Kerala.[1][2][3] A legend claims that it was built in 643 CE,[4] which makes it the oldest mosque in the Indian subcontinent which is still in use.[5][6][7] It was built on the orders of the successor of Cheraman Perumal, the Chera King of modern-day Kerala.[7][8][9][10] The mosque was constructed in Kerala style with hanging lamps, making the historicity of its date claims more convincing.[1][2][7][8][9][10][11] However, other scholars are more skeptical and dated the structure to the 14th-15th century based on the architectural style.[12]

The mosque was destroyed by the Portuguese in 1504 when Lopo Soares de Albergaria attacked the port of Kodungallur. The old building was built some time after the 1504 de Algabaria attack (i.e., from mid-16th to the early 17th century). Modern corridors and halls were built in 1984. The 1984 extensions, which surround the old building, conceal almost all of the exterior features of the old building.[13]

History

Шаблон:Further According to some legends, Cheraman Perumal ("Cheraman Perumal சேரமான் பெருமாள்" being the title held by Chera kings) witnessed the splitting of the moon, a supernatural event mentioned in the Quran[14] as a miracle performed by Prophet Muhammad when asked for one by Meccan unbelievers. The bewildered King confirmed with his astrologers that the incident had taken place, but didn't know what to make of it. Arab merchants who had arrived at a Malabar port, a bustling global marketplace, sought audience with the King to have his permission to visit Ceylon. In conversation with them, the King learnt about Prophet Muhammad, made his son the regent of his kingdom and travelled back with the Arab merchants to meet the man himself.Шаблон:Citation needed

The story goes that Cheraman Perumal arrived in Arabia with a gift of ginger pickles for Muhammad and his companions[15] and converted to Islam "at the feet of Prophet Muhammad".[16]

According to historian M.G.S. Narayanan, "there is no reason to reject the tradition that the last Chera king embraced Islam and went to Mecca, since it finds its place not only in Muslim chronicles, but also in Hindu brahmanical chronicles like the Keralolpatti, which need not be expected to concoct such a tale which in no way enhances the prestige of the Brahmins or Hindu population."[17][18] Scholar Mehrdad Shokoohy however traced such legends to a much later accounts with different dating than the supposed earlier date.[19]

Location

Masjid is located in the ParavurKodungalloor Road, NH-66 at Kodungalloor taluk, Thrissur District in Kerala.


Appointment of the Aven (Priest)

According to Chellikkattil Sundaran, president of the temple trust, the aven (priest) of Shobhaparamba Sreekurumba Bhagavati temple in Tanur, Malappuram, is traditionally appointed from the local Thiyya family by a member of the Brahmin family of Pazhayakhath Ilom. The family disintegrated over the years and its remaining members converted to Islam but both the temple authorities and the family upheld the tradition. The temple's Hindu priest is appointed in a special ritual once every 12 years, presided over by a Muslim member of the Pazhayakath family, who makes the formal announcement. Locals ascribe this camaraderie to Cheraman Perumal.[16][20]

Maharajahs of Travancore

The legend of the "Makkattupoya Perumal" or "the King who went to Makkah (Mecca)" has lived on in Kerala memory and apparently, the Maharajahs of the Princedom of Travancore in pre-Independence India would say at their swearing in, "I will keep this sword until the uncle who has gone to Makkah returns".[21]
