| [Edit this template] |
The Sultanate of Maguindanao was a Filipino Muslim state that ruled parts of the island of Mindanao, in southern Philippines.
Its known historical influence stretches from the peninsula of Zamboanga to the bay of Sarangani. At its peak, the sultanate covered the entire island of Mindanao, and ruled over the smaller neighboring islands near and around Mindanao.
History
Shariff Mohammed Kabungsuwan of Johor introduced Islam in the area at the end of the 12th century. He subsequently married a local princess and established the Sultanate of Maguindanao, possibly in 1203 or 1205. The sultanate was usually centered in the valley of Cotabato.
Muhammad Dipatuan Qudratullah Nasiruddin, popularly known as Qudarat, was one of the greatest known sultans who controlled Mindanao.
Abd al-Rahman, his grandson, continued increasing the Sultanate's power and influence.
The sultanate ceased to exist when the Spanish colonized Mindanao, and it became part of what would be the Philippines.
