Source: Internationalaffairs.

Really, I confused, why in Early Islamic History s notes,doesn’t exist detail explained about Rohingyans Peoples. I find Rohingyans people s history only in Islamic History s modern book.

Ibn Bathuta has visited Land Of India. He  write details notes about Situation Of India, including about rulers of India, Islands around India, and other. Even Indians resources, write by Ibn Bathuta, until Maldivs. But, in this notes, doesn’t exist notes about Rohingya. Other moroccan historian , Ibn Khaldun doesn’t record about Rohingya. He record Spain, Morocco, Middle East, and Mongols History, but doesn’t exist Rohingya in this notes. Ibn Kathir, Muslims Historian, in this masterpiece, Al-Bidayah Wa an-Nihayah write with details about Middle East, Mongols, and Crusade, but , again, he doesn’t write about Rohingya, How the origin the ethnics? I asked question, it this ethnic appear after Middle Age?

Rohingyans People live at Burma ( Myanmar). Islam entered Burma by trade an preaching. But, at Burma, happened resistance from Buddhist. At 686 H, Muslims From Mongol take Burma from cruel king and release his society to embraced religion. Many Burmese convert to Islam.

Suja, brother from Aurangzeb, Mongols Ruler Of India, escape from his brother with his followers, he spread Islam at Burma.

Important to know, how Early Islamic Age at Myanmar, Islam came to Myanmar at 680 AD, by Islamic Preacer, Muhammad Ibn Hanafiya, who married Queen Kaiyapuri, Ruler Of Arakan Kingdom At Myanmar. Data  about this, is so minimal, but, exist Arabians Notes from 16 th century from Shah Barid Khan, the problem the notes wrote so far from event.

Small data about Muslims at Burma recorded at Muslims Chronichle  at 1044 AD, about arrive of Muslims Sailors to Burma. European Notes at 16-17 TH Century that report about Muslims Villages at Burma s coastal.

Chinese Chronichles at 860 AD record that Persian Muslims sail to Burma.  Maybe, they , beside trade, also spreading Islam.

Islamic sailors who visit Myanmar and spreaded Islam at this place came from Turkish, Moghuls, Central Asia, and Arab, according Historian Ibnu Wicaksono, is big likelihood, Rohingyans is mixture from many ethnics.

Ibn Khordabeh, An Persian Traveler in this notes mention South Burma. Next, we will discuss about Myanmar s colonization at Rohingyan Muslims.
