    700 years of Muslim identity in Philippines


    700 years of Muslim identity
    in the Philippines
    By Abdel Aziz Dimapunong
    Imam, Masjid Alkhairi, Manila
    Director, Maranao Arts And Cultural Heritage
    Manila . Friday, February 9, 2007. In today’s issue of the Philippine
    Daily Inquirer, a noted columnist, Ambeth R. Ocampo writes about
    an agency in the Philippines that is mandated to identify and mark
    historical places. Mr. Ambeth noted that: “These markers are not
    only reminders of historic events, but proof of the development in
    historical research, interpretation and thinking.” He added:
    “Contrary to popular belief, history can also change, and this act
    of revisiting and revising the past is a hotly debated part of the
    historian’s mandate”.
    I believe that the search for historical landmarks, if done with
    honesty, is tantamount to the search for the truth and going out of
    every hoax. As we delve into historical and archeological
    evidences, we find that Islamic civilization had long been here
    hundreds of years before the arrival of the Spaniards.
    Last Monday, February 5, 2007, a noted columnist of the Arab
    News in Saudi Arabia also writes about historical landmarks. On
    that issue, the Arab News features an article about the surviving
    mosques in Madinah since the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace
    on him). P.K. Abdul Gafour cites a study conducted by the
    Madinah Research & Studies Center which was done on the basis
    of historical evidence and authentic reports. According to Dr.
    Abdul Basit Badr, director of the center, there are five mosques
    that survived until today including the Prophet’s Mosque and
    Quba Mosque. Badr said his organization had identified the
    mosques on a map with the help of satellite pictures.
