Quellen

Die Dynastie ist in Chroniken wie dem im 18. Jahrhundert verfassten Tarikh Islam Diba Mahal belegt. [ 1 ] Laut Tarikh war Dhovemi von den Malediven aus der Theemuge-Dynastie der erste maledivische Herrscher, der zum Islam konvertierte und den Namen Sultan Muhammad-ul-Adil annahm. [ 2 ] Ibn Battuta besuchte die Malediven während der Herrschaft von Khadija von den Malediven mehrmals und hinterließ einen detaillierten Bericht in „ Die Reisen des Ibn Battuta“ . [ 3 ]

Geschichte

The first king of the Theemuge dynasty is known as Siri Mahabarana and he is believed to be Koimala Kalo. Sri Mahabarana was proclaimed king in the year 1117 or 1118. Other sources suggest that the Theemuge Dharikolhu was the new name of the Soma Vansa Lunar Dynastry after the conversion to Islam of King Dhovemi which lasted from c.1153 to c.1388. In this case King Dhovemi, the fifth king of the Lunar Dynastry became the first King of the Theemuge Dynastry.

Svasti Sri Somavamsa Adipati Sri Theemuge Sri Maha Parama Aditya Maha Radun became the first king to rule over the whole of Maldives after reclaiming the northern atolls from the Indian invaders.
