World's oldest Mosques in India to which every Indian Muslim should visit

I feel every Indian Muslim should visit these 2 mosques which were bulit when Prophet Muhammad was alive and also request respective states to improve tourism facilities

Cheraman Juma Mosque


Cheraman Juma Mosque which was bulit in 629 AD by Malik Deenar, an Arab propagator of Islam and a follower of Prophet Muhammad on the land given by
Cheraman Perumal, the Chera king of Kerala.


Many traders from Arab countries used to visit Malabar region of Kerala, in the process they also propogated Islam into this region.
As the legend goes, Cheraman Perumal (king) visited Arabia and converted himself to a true follower of Islam. He changed his name to Tajuddin.
Unfortunatly he couldnt visit Cheraman Juma Mosque as he died while coming back to his kingdom. He is now buried in Oman.

This mosque is located in NH 66, Kodungallur, Trichur Kerala 680664.
More details can be found on the mosque website :http://cheramanmosque.com

Palaiya Jumma Palli


This mosque was bulit around 630 AD in Kilakarai, Tamil Nadu. Similar to Cherman Juma Mosque history it was also constructed in a port city by traders from Yeman.
This mosque looks like a temple from outside and mosque inside.This also shows how Islamic culture came to india much before Mughals came to India.


Website: I couldnt find if this mosque has any website.
You can plan visit :As i didnt find any good hotels near by, i would prefer to stay in Rameswaram or Madurai.
