| General Note |
- General note - The mosque is the center of the Islamic faith. At high noon every Friday, Muslims everywhere lay aside their work and gather in mosques to worship and to obtain the blessing of the Muslim priest, the Imam, Devout Muslims who live on the other sides of Lake Lanao have to travel far in bancas and sailboats to reach a mosque. This explains why many mosques are situated along the banks of lakes and rivers. The usual date assigned to the introduction of Islam to the Philippines is 1830. However, Islamic influences appeared earlier as evidenced by the existence of the grave of an Arab dated 1311 - a grave found in tampat (sacred grove) in Bud Dajo, Jolo, Sulu. The introduction of Islam in Mindanao is attributed to the Sheriff Muhammed Kabungsuwan, reputed to be the son of an Arab, the Sherif Zain-nl-Abidin from Hadhramaut, who settled in Johore and married the daughter of a sultan there.
