This Land came under the Mughals for the first time during the 17th century under the rule of Aurangzeb. Then came the fragmentation of the Mughal power after which Hyder ali and Tippu sultan made Mysore their territorial center.

History

Islam has a rich and diverse history in Karnataka, a state in southern India. Its introduction and evolution have been shaped by various dynasties, trade relations, and cultural exchanges.


Early Introduction (7th–10th Century CE)

Arab traders, particularly those from the Arabian Peninsula, began arriving on the western coast of India, including Karnataka, around the 7th century. They established trade routes and settled in coastal towns such as Bhatkal and Honnavar. These traders, known as Tajjikas, played a pivotal role in introducing Islam to the region.

Medieval Period (11th–14th Century CE)

During this era, several Muslim dynasties established their rule in parts of Karnataka:

-Bahamani Sultanate (1347–1527) Founded in 1347, the Bahamani Sultanate had its capital in Gulbarga. This period witnessed the construction of significant Islamic architectural structures, including the Jama Masjid in Gulbarga Fort.

-Adil Shahi Dynasty (1490–1686) The Adil Shahi dynasty, with its capital in Bijapur, furthered the spread of Islam in the region. Notable architectural contributions from this period include the Gol Gumbaz and the Ibrahim Rauza.

Mysore Sultanate (18th Century)

The rise of Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan marked a significant phase in Karnataka's history. Tipu Sultan, known for his resistance against British colonial forces, was a devout Muslim who promoted Islamic education and institutions.

Post-Independence Period=

After India's independence in 1947, Karnataka's Muslim community became an integral part of the state's socio-cultural fabric. Today, Muslims constitute approximately 12.91% of Karnataka’s population, with significant communities in cities like Bangalore, Mysore,Gulbarga, Bijapur, and Mangalore.
