History

The Islamic teachings were thought to have first spread to the region of Central Sulawesi in Buol dan Banggai, where both regions accepted Islam in the mid-16th century due to influences from Ternate. A king of Buol was noted to have an Islamic name, namely Eato Muhammad Tahir who ruled between 1540-1595.[3]

At the beginning of the 17th century, Islam began to spread in the land of the Kailis propagated by Dato Karama (his real name Abdullah Raqie), who was believed to have come from Minangkabau.[4][5] Dato Karama preached in Palu area and its surroundings, and because of him the Kaili king named Pue Njidi converted to Islam. In the Parigi and surrounding areas, other Minangkabau preacher named Dato Mangaji (also called by the local title Tori Agama)[6][7] was able to invite the Parigi king named Tori Kota and his son Magau Janggo to convert to Islam.[8]

Education

gollark: https://asylo.dev/ <- a `.dev` thing.
gollark: I have seen a `.dev` domain actually used, by what I believe is a Google product, so...
gollark: I mean, "nothing bad about Google", if you ignore their domination of a whole lot of stuff, the fact that they do seem to try to move stuff over to their own proprietary standards in some cases, and the massive data gathering.
gollark: Eeeh, sure, I guess.
