Islam arrived in Kerala, the Malayalamspeaking region in the southwestern tip of India, through Middle Eastern merchants.[8][9] The Indian coast has an ancient relation with West Asia and the Middle East, even during the preIslamic period.

Kerala Muslims or Malayali Muslims from north Kerala are generally referred to as Mappilas. Mappilas are but one among the many communities that forms the Muslim population of Kerala.[10] According to some scholars, the Mappilas are the oldest settled Muslim community in South Asia.[8][9] As per some studies, the term "Mappila" denotes not a single community but a variety of Malayali Muslims from Kerala (former Malabar District) of different origins.[11][10] Native Muslims of Kerala were known as Mouros da Terra, or Mouros Malabares in medieval period. Settled foreign Muslims of Kerala were known as Mouros da Arabia/Mouros de Meca.[12] Unlike the common misconception, the caste system does exist among the Muslims of Kerala.[13]

Muslims in Kerala share a common language (Malayalam) with the rest of the nonMuslim population and have a culture commonly regarded as the Malayali culture.[14] Islam is the second largest practised religion in Kerala (26.56%) next to Hinduism.[15] The calculated Muslim population (Indian Census, 2011) in Kerala state is 8,873,472.[1][8] Most of the Muslims in Kerala follow Sunni Islam of Shāfiʿī School of thought, while a large minority follow modern movements (such as Salafism) that developed within Sunni Islam.[16][10]
