'''Cheraman Perumal Tajuddin''', previously '''Ravi Varma''' or '''Chakravarti Farmad''' ([[7th century]]) was said to be the first Hindu to convert to [[Islam]] and possibly only [[companions of the Prophet|companion of the Prophet]] [[Muhammad]] from [[India]]. It is one of the well-known [[Legend of Cheraman Perumals]].

However, no one else in the palace or the rest of the Indian subcontinent saw this remarkable event. Shocked by the splitting of the full moon, which occurred many years before Muslims' migration to [[Medina]], Cheraman hurried back to the capital of the [[Chera dynasty|Chera Kingdom]]. He wanted to consult his chain of Hindu astronomers, known as [[Siddhar|Siddhars]], to determine the exact time of this lunar phenomenon. According to the Hindu mathematical system, the astronomers should have been able to forecast the lunar eclipse. Nevertheless, the precise astronomical date and time of this event remain uncertain. Therefore, when some Arab merchants from the [[Quraysh|Banu Quraysh]] tribe visited Cheraman's palace for unknown reasons, he took the opportunity to inquire about this incident that should have occurred in the Eastern sky. The Hindu astronomers should have been able to calculate the exact time and coordinates of this astronomical event. At their request, the King embarked on a pilgrimage to pray at the temple of the Arabian Moon-god [[Hubal]] and the Shrine of Quraysh idols in Mecca. During his visit to the [[Kaaba]], Cheraman had the opportunity to meet the Islamic prophet [[Muhammad]] and gifted ginger pickles for the Messenger of Allah and his companions. He conversed with Muhammad in Arabic, and it was during this encounter that [[Bilal ibn Rabah|Bilal]], a companion of Muhammad, guided Cheraman to convert to Islam. As a result, Muhammad bestowed upon him the name '''[[Tajuddin]]''', '''Thajuddin''', or '''Thiya-aj-Addan''', which means "crown of faith" thus, becoming the first [[Islam in India|Indian Muslim]]".<ref name="ashi"/><ref name="INS"/><ref>{{cite book |last1=Ampotti |first1=A.

According to historian [[M. G. S. Narayanan|M.G.S.

Sharif Ibn Farid:

{{AFC submission/draft}}

'''Cheraman Perumal Tajuddin''', previously '''Ravi Varma''' ([[7th century]]) was said to be the first Hindu to convert to [[Islam]] and possibly only [[companions of the Prophet|companion of the Prophet]] [[Muhammad]] from [[India]]. It is one of the well-known [[Legend of Cheraman Perumals]].

However, no one else in the palace or the rest of the Indian subcontinent saw this remarkable event. Shocked by the splitting of the full moon, which occurred many years before Muslims' migration to [[Medina]], Cheraman hurried back to the capital of the [[Chera dynasty|Chera Kingdom]]. He wanted to consult his chain of Hindu astronomers, known as [[Siddhar|Siddhars]], to determine the exact time of this lunar phenomenon. According to the Hindu mathematical system, the astronomers should have been able to forecast the lunar eclipse. Nevertheless, the precise astronomical date and time of this event remain uncertain. Therefore, when some Arab merchants from the [[Quraysh|Banu Quraysh]] tribe visited Cheraman's palace for unknown reasons, he took the opportunity to inquire about this incident that should have occurred in the Eastern sky. The Hindu astronomers should have been able to calculate the exact time and coordinates of this astronomical event. At their request, the King embarked on a pilgrimage to pray at the temple of the Arabian Moon-god [[Hubal]] and the Shrine of Quraysh idols in Mecca. During his visit to the [[Kaaba]], Cheraman had the opportunity to meet the Islamic prophet [[Muhammad]] and gifted ginger pickles for the Messenger of Allah and his companions. He conversed with Muhammad in Arabic, and it was during this encounter that [[Bilal ibn Rabah|Bilal]], a companion of Muhammad, guided Cheraman to convert to Islam. As a result, Muhammad bestowed upon him the name '''[[Tajuddin]]''', '''Thajuddin''', or '''Thiya-aj-Addan''', which means "crown of faith" thus, becoming the first [[Islam in India|Indian Muslim]]".<ref name="ashi"/><ref name="INS"/><ref>{{cite book |last1=Ampotti |first1=A.
