一位印度国王被先知穆罕默德改信伊斯兰教的故事，以及阿拉伯穆斯林随后在喀拉拉邦的前自治领建立社区和清真寺的故事，出现在各种阿拉伯语和马拉雅拉姆语的文学作品中。其中最引人注目的是沙卡瓦特农场的齐人。这个社区起源的传说在这里是第一次完整地从阿拉伯语翻译过来。历史学家们对待这些起源故事的方式是，按照表面价值传播它们，拒绝它们的历史性，或者筛选它们以寻找历史真理的核心。这里采用的比较方法，而是并列的Qi a与马拉雅拉姆民歌和其他印度洋故事的转换相关的中世纪阿拉伯旅行文学，以揭示潜在的原型公正或开明的国王作为社区的赞助商。这个传说成为喀拉拉邦伊斯兰教的宪法和自我定义以及这个社区维斯其他社区的话语主张的重要主要来源。
The story of an Indian king’s conversion to Islam by the prophet Muhammad and of the subsequent foundation by Arab Muslims of communities and mosques across the sovereign’s former dominion in Kerala appears in various Arabic and Malayalam literary iterations. The most remarkable among them is the Qiṣṣat Shakarwatī Farmāḍ . This legend of community origins is here translated from the Arabic in full for the first time. Historians have dealt with such origin stories by transmitting them at face value, rejecting their historicity, or sifting them for kernels of historical truth. The comparative approach adopted here instead juxtaposes the Qiṣṣa with a Malayalam folksong and other Indian Ocean narratives of conversion as related in medieval Arabic travel literature to reveal underlying archetypes of just or enlightened kings as sponsors of community. The legend emerges as a crucial primary source for the constitution and self-definition of Islam in Kerala and for the discursive claims of this community vis-a-vis others.
