The Muslims of Sri Lanka have for long lived in peace and harmony with the other communities that have made Sri Lanka their home. They have contributed immensely to the culture, economy and the national life of the country. Unfortunately, this contribution is not much known due to the dearth of information on this subject, as a result of which an impression has been created that the Muslim contribution to the nation has been minimal and that their main occupation of trade has only benefitted themselves and not the country as a whole. The purpose of this work is to debunk these misconceptions and record for posterity the healthy tradition of co-existence Muslims have enjoyed with the other communities of the island and their immense contribution that has enriched the culture of our beautiful island, as well as their role in the national economy and struggle for independence and peace building. ## 3D FlipBook - [CMSF RAMAZAN APPEAL 2025 (1446 AH) | THE CEYLON MUSLIM SCHOLARSHIP FUND](https://sailanmuslim.com/3d-flip-book/cmsf-ramazan-appeal-2025-1446-ah-the-ceylon-muslim-scholarship-fund/) - [CMSF RAMAZAN APPEAL 2026 (1447 AH) | THE CEYLON MUSLIM SCHOLARSHIP FUND](https://sailanmuslim.com/3d-flip-book/cmsf-ramazan-appeal-2026-1447-ah-the-ceylon-muslim-scholarship-fund/) - [Shari’ah Compliant Securities Screening Methodology in Sri Lanka](https://sailanmuslim.com/3d-flip-book/shariah-compliant-securities-screening-methodology-in-sri-lanka/) - [Innovations in Islamic Microfinance: Lessons from Muslim Aid's Sri Lankan Experiment](https://sailanmuslim.com/3d-flip-book/innovations-in-islamic-microfinance-lessons-from-muslim-aids-sri-lankan-experiment/) - [When the Moon Split - A biography of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) - Ebook](https://sailanmuslim.com/3d-flip-book/when-the-moon-split-a-biography-of-prophet-muhammad-peace-be-upon-him-ebook/) - [Ramadan Appeal - CMSF CEYLON MUSLIM SCHOLARSHIP FUND -](https://sailanmuslim.com/3d-flip-book/ramadan-appeal-cmsf-ceylon-muslim-scholarship-fund/) - [Sinhala Muslim Relations in Sri Lanka By Desamanya M.D.D.
