Mausoleum of Maulana Al-Hafiz Abul Barakaath Yoosuf Al-Barbari, the man who brought Islam to Maldives. The white building is Maulana’s while the one beside is one of olden sultan of Maldives.

Situated near the great Hukuru Miskiiy in Maldives, Medhu Ziyaaraiy is the tomb of the famous Morocco scholar Abdul Barakat Yoosuf Al Barbary who is credited for the advent of Islam in the Maldives during 1153 AD. The tomb is a symbol of peace which prevails among the Maldivian population. According to folklore, Abdul Barakat Yoosuf Al Barbary helped the people of the Maldives get rid of the sea demon to escape from whose wrath, every month, a virgin girl was left alone for him in the temple, only to be found dead the following day. As Abdul Barakat freed the Maldivians from the terror of the demon Rannamaari, the king agreed to convert himself and his people to Islam. Since then, people visit Medhu Ziyaaraiy to show respect towards Abdul Barakat for he enlightened their lives with the torch of Islam.

Medhuziaaray Or Central Shrine / Mausoleum Was A Really Great And Interesting Shrine, I've Interested In Shrines Since 2020, It Was Amazing And Really Interested The History About How Maldives Converted To Islam In The 12th Century From Moroccoan Hafiz, But Sadly I Haven't Seen The Grave Of Abu Bakr & I Only Saw The Shrine That 2 Graves, I Recently Heard About Long Time Ago, Many People Went To Medhuziaaray For Offerings, Incense Burning And Prayers, But The Government Of Maldives Has Banned Those Practices That Lead To Shrik Starting 1957, In 2010 On The Day That Maldives Embraced Islam, More Than 3,000K + Locals Went To Medhuziaaray For Visiting Historical Places.

Situated near the great Hukuru Miskiiy and MULIYAGE in Maldives, Medhu Ziyaaraiy is the tomb of the famous Morocco scholar Abdul Barakat Yoosuf Al Barbary who is played vital role to Maldives Embraced to Islam by that time.

Shrine. So cool!

This is one of the historical places in Male' located just next Muleeaage and Hukuru Miskiy. This the mausoleum of Abul Barakath Yousulf Al Barbaru (or Thibreyzy), the person who is credited with converting Maldivians from Buddhism to Islam.

This is the shrine of Abu-al Barakath Yusuf al Barbaree - the Moroccan scholar believed to be responsible for the advent of islam in the Maldives in 1153 AD. Muleeaage next to the Medhu Ziyaaraiy was originally built by Sultan Shamsudheen III for his son just before the First World War. The building was declared a government property when the sultan was banished in May 1936. Since then it has been used as an office complex by subsequent governments and also as a presidential palace.

Good service and good taste. Recommend chocolate doughnut
