The Tackveeyatul Islamic Association (T.I.A.) was the first aborted attempt at unity and harmony within the Muslim Community. In 1926 it brought together all the Muslims of the island colony, urban and rural, literate and illiterate, clerk and labourer, businessmen and farmers all under one umbrella. The alliance was soon shattered with incorporation of the returnee to the island, Ameer Ali with the title Mufti and his adoption of Ahmadiya teachings. The organizational splittering of the Muslim community has since continued well into the new century.

The very word society means the more cultivated portion of any community in its social relations and influences. It is in this context that I am dealing with the subject matter above. People either by design or by a series of events acquire an ordered way of life which one could assume is the foundation upon which the society thrives. In the case of the Muslims the foundation was laid fourteen hundred years (1400) ago by the Holy Quran.
