- Islam was the first foreign religion to come to Uganda
- It was during the reign of Kabaka Sunna II
- After the Arabs had developed interest in the interior
- The first Arabs to reach Buganda were Ahmed bin Ibrahim and Suhyl bin Amir
- They reached the palace of Kabaka Sunna II and found him sacrificing his subjects
- They were very surprised and they told him it was wrong to kill Allah’s creatures
- He was also surprised to find out that there was someone higher than the Kabaka
- So he got interested in knowing the God of the Arabs
- They preached to him and he became interested
- They taught him verses of the Quran and he proved to be a good learner
- By the time of his death in 1856, he had shown a lot of interest in Islam even though he died a pagan
- The Arabs feared to preach Islam during his reign because they thought he would kill them
- They were also so much into trade than spreading Islam
- All in all even though Sunna died a pagan in 1856, the greatest contribution he did was that Islam was introduced to Buganda.
