Abstract : The current study is significant on several levels, and its main goals are to: - fill the gap in existing research on Sri Lankan Muslim history, add to our knowledge of the trade networks in the Western Indian Ocean; and - provide light on Sri Lanka’s relevance. The portrayal of the Muslim of the Muslim heritage in Sri Lanka. Many Sinhalese and Tamil historians have disputed the origins, origin stories, and historical accounts of Sri Lanka's Muslim community. Scholarly Muslims haven't spoken much about the history, customs, and practices of Muslims. The history of the Muslim community in Sri Lanka is not well-documented in Muslim historical writing. It is often said that Sri Lanka's Muslim minority lacks a history. The idea that Arab traders came to Sri Lanka before the spread of Islam is supported by a variety of archaeological and historical evidence. Additionally, Sri Lanka saw an increase in Arab and Muslim immigrants as Islam expanded across the Arabian Peninsula. Therefore, it is crucial to provide historical and archaeological evidence to support the origins and history of the Muslim community. This essay is an assessment of the assertion. This study presents some historical connections to show how Ceylon's Muslims came to be and how they developed from the time before Islam until the sixteenth century.
