The Memon community is a Muslim ethnic group with roots in the Indian subcontinent, specifically Sindh and Gujarat. They are believed to have originated from a Hindu community called Lohanas who converted to Islam, possibly in the 15th century. This conversion is traditionally attributed to the influence of a Pir (saint). The name "Memons" is thought to be derived from "Momin," meaning "believers".

Here's a more detailed look at their history:
Origins and Conversion:

Hindu to Muslim:
Memons are believed to have converted from the Lohana community of Sindh.

700 Families:
A significant event in their history is the conversion of around 700 Lohana families, totaling 6,178 people, to Islam.

Pir's Influence:
The conversion is attributed to the influence of a Pir (saint), although different accounts mention various holy men.

Sindh and Gujarat:
The community initially settled in Sindh and later spread to Kutch and other parts of Gujarat.

Migration and Settlement:

Kutch:
Some Memons migrated from Sindh to Kutch (Gujarat) after their conversion, specifically in 1422 CE.

Bhuj:
The ruler of Bhuj, Rao Khengarji Jadeja, invited Memons to settle in Bhuj.

Dhoraji:
One group, led by Abdur Rehman son of Sumar Naviwala, migrated to Dhoraji in search of better opportunities.
Various Settlements:

Memons established themselves in different regions, developing distinct characteristics and traditions based on their locations.

Cultural and Social Aspects:

Business Community:
Memons have a strong reputation as a business-oriented community.

Generosity and Charity:
They are known for their generosity, charitable activities, and support for their community and humanity at large.

Religious and Cultural Identity:
Memons have maintained their religious identity while also preserving some of their pre-conversion customs and traditions.
Inter-communal Marriages:

While they generally prefer marriages within the Muslim community, they are not averse to inter-communal marriages if they are between Muslims.

Diverse Groups:
Memon communities are divided into different groups based on their geographical locations, such as Sindhi Memons, Kutchi Memons, and Kathiawari Memons.

In Conclusion: The Memon community has a rich and diverse history, marked by conversion from Hinduism, migration across regions, and the development of a distinct cultural and social identity while remaining a vibrant part of the broader Muslim community in the Indian subcontinent.


The Memon are a Muslim community in Gujarat India, and Sindh, Pakistan, the majority of whom follow the Hanafi fiqh of Sunni Islam. They are divided into different groups based on their origins: Kathiawari Memons, Kutchi Memons and Bantva Memons from the Kathiawar, Kutch and Bantva regions of Gujarat respectively, and Sindhi Memons from Sindh.

Memons have cultural similarities with the Khoja, Bohra, and other Gujarati peoples. They speak the Memoni language as their first language, which shares vocabulary with the Sindhi language, Kutchi language and Gujarati languages.

Today Memons are connected through globally recognized organisations such as the World Memon Organisation (WMO)[5] and International Memon Organisation (IMO).
