Thajuddin

Thajuddin, formerly known as the Tamil King Cheraman Perumal (lit. "Great lord of the Cheras"), played a significant role in history as the first Indian monarch to embrace Islam. After his conversion, the Siddhars gave him the title Makkahvukkupona Perumal (lit. "Emperor who went to Makkah"). His conversion tale is steeped in intriguing events, with a pivotal moment revolving around the mysterious splitting of the moon.
