Newar Islam

The distinct type of culture of Muslim Newar community is Newar Islam.

History

The history dates back to Nepal Sambat 470 when Sultan Shamsuddin Ilyas Shah attacked Nepal Mandala. In the process the Muslims entered Newar villages. The Malla king gave them a small area of land for Muslims to live. Thus they continued their culture and religion and formed a new type of group known as Newar Islam. [1]
