Later sources claim that a Persian from the Tabriz, called Yusuf Tabrizi was responsible for the conversion of the Maldivian Kingdom to Islam in the year 1153.
By the order of the king as his brother Siri Kalo, the first Friday mosque of Malé was built by Al-Wazir Shanivirazaa.
According to legend, all traces of idolatry were razed during this period of major transformation of the Maldives and mosques were built on many of the inhabited islands.
The Taarikh writes as revived from the Isdhoo loamaafanu: "(he said) next Friday a ship will arrive, whereon I shall sail for Makkah.
The Sultan, having performed the Jumu'ah (Friday-noon prayers) at the mosque, hurried to the seashore and embarked in the vessel without attendants or provisions.
Forthwith the ship passed from sight as suddenly as lightning (and he was not heard from thence)" On the disappearance of his uncle, Muthey Kalaminja took over the throne of the Maldives and ruled as the sultan from 1165 according to the Raadhavalhi.
