Dargah of Shaikh Jifri, Calicut


Pilgrims also travel to Calicut to visit the Dargah of Shaikh Jifri, a Sufi, who arrived in the city in the eighteenth century. The Kuttichira Mosque, the oldest mosque of Calicut, and Mithqal Masjid, built during the Portuguese era, stand as historic landmarks. The pilgrims visit the Dargah of Shaikh Mamukkoya, a Sufi who lived during the Portuguese period. The famous Urs called Appavanibham Nercha at Calicut is in his name.

The old mosque at Pantalayani, Kollam, in northern Kerala, is also considered significant. In Kannur, the masjid and Arakkal Palace, associated with the Arakkal royal family, are notable sites.

Mappila Muslims also visit shrines outside Kerala, such as those in Ervadi, Nagore, Kayalpatnam, Kilakkarai, Madurai, Ullal, and Gulbarga. These places have evolved into centers of Islamic learning and cultural heritage.
