On the Indian subcontinent, Islam first appeared in the south western tip of the peninsula, in today's Kerala state. Arabs had trade relations with Malabar even before the birth of Muhammad. The native legends say that a group of Sahaba, under Malik Ibn Deenar, arrived on the Malabar Coast and preached Islam. According to that legend, the first mosque of India was built by Second Chera King Cheraman Perumal, who accepted Islam and received the name Tajudheen. He traveled to Arabia to meet Muhammad and died on the trip back, somewhere in today's Oman. There are historical records which suggests that the Cheraman Perumal Mosque was built in Hijra 5(629 CE).
