Abdulla, (Ibrahim Faamuladheyri Kilegefan; 16 April 1766 – 7 June 1829) was crown prince of Dhiyamigili dynasty and the Maldives as the son of Sultan Muhammad Ghiyasuddin I of the Dhiyamigili dynasty.[1]

Abdulla was the son of Muhammad Ghiyasuddin I and Queen Aminath Manikufaanu. After protests over the assassination of his father Sultan Muhammad Ghiyasuddin, Prince Abdulla was banished to Fuvahmulah at the age of seven; causing Abdulla not to ascend to the throne. Abdulla was born in Malé, as the heir apparent.

Early life

[edit]

Abdulla was born on 16 April 1766, the year his father ascended to the throne.[2] His father is the eldest son of Ibrahim Iskander II. Abdulla became the heir apparent following the Abdication of Hasan 'Izz ud-din.[3] When Abdulla was banished to Fuvahmulah, he was taken care of by his relatives in the island.[4]

Heir apparent and banishment

[edit]

In 1766, Hassan Izzuddin I abdicated throne to Muhammad Ghiyasuddin I, which made Abdulla the heir apparent. Seven years into his father's reign, Abdulla's father left Malé for Mecca to perform Hajj pilgrimage.[5] He appointed his sister, Amina Kabafaanu as dual regents.[6] Four days after Ghiyasuddin departed, Ali Shah Bandar, husband of Amina Kanbafaan, decided to usurp the powers of Sultan for himself. The result was that Muhammed Manikufaan moved against Ali Shah Bandar and the outcome was Muhammed Manikufan proclaimed himself as the Sultan, Which was the result of young prince Abdulla and his family to get banished to islands of the Maldives.
