Manipuri Muslims, locally called Pangals, also trace their origin even earlier- to Amir Hamza (of Dastan-e-Amir Hamza, an uncle of prophet Muhammad) who came to Manipur (Moirang region as indicated in "Moirang Ningthourel Lambuba", a local annal) in the time of king Naophang Ahal of Manipur in around 617-624 AD. Hamza later went back to Arabia where he was martyred in the Battle of Uhood in 625 AD. There is also legend that Amir Hamza ruled with great justice for some time in north Arakan-Maungdaw with great justice. It is maintained by Muslim researchers that Waqass went to China twice and believed that Waqqas actually went back to Medina where he died. The said tomb of Waqqas at Canton could have been of his son bin Saad bin Waqqas.The first Muslim clan trace their origin to the visit and arribal of an Aribam family in the time of king Naophangba, while local ancient annals (and mss.) indicate that Aribam clan ancestors were Sadik Para and Kutuwan Khan. Manipuri annals also noted that another Muslim faqir came from the west in 9th or 10th century AD in the time of Manipur king Lairen Irengba. Now Manipuri Muslims make up around 8% of total Manipur state population in NE India as per 2001 government census.<br /><br />Meraimayum Mukhtar Shah<br />Imphal, Manipur (India)<br />18th February, 2010Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08091039097446539299noreply@blogger.com
