Muhammad Dipatuan Kudarat




The personality in my stamp is Muhammad Dipatuan Kudarat (also spelled Qudarat or Corallat) (1581–1671) He was a Sultan of Maguindanao in the Philippines. During his reign, he successfully opposed the Spaniards who attempted to conquer his land and hindered the Christianization of the island of Mindanao. He was a direct descendant of Shariff Kabungsuwan, a Muslim missionary who brought Islam to the Philippines between the 13th and 14th century.[1] The Philippine province of Sultan Kudarat is named after him.
