Islam was both spiritual and human. It contained a religious form that was simple and beautiful. It contained a living political and social ideology that was appealing for the masses. In the nineteenth and twentieth century and even at the dawn of the 21st century, it is the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent who lead the Muslims of the world in their zeal and practical endeavor for strengthening the religion of Islam. King Cheraman Perumal was the last of the Chera kings who ruled over Kerala. When a group of Arabs led by Sheik Saharudeen was forced to land at Kodungallur, the people took them to the king. These Arabs gave the message of Islam to the King Cherman Perumal who was attracted towards this new ideology. As these Arabs were actually bound for Ceylon they proceeded with their journey and then returned to the King only to take him to Arabia. The king embraced Islam in the presence of the Holy Prophet (Sal) and renamed himself Abdur Rahman Samiri (Rali).
