No Census Report where the Muslim communities were mentioned separately is also available. Mappilas are but one among the many communities that form the Muslim population of Kerala.
In general, a Mappila is either a descendant of any native convert to Islam or a mixed descendant of any Middle Eastern - Arab or non Arab - individual. Īccording to some scholars, the Mappilas are the oldest settled native Muslim community in South Asia. Mappilas share the common language of Malayalam with the other religious communities of Kerala. Muslims of Kerala make up 26.56% of the population of the state (2011), and as a religious group they are the second largest group after Hindus (54.73%).

Malappattu – songs in praise of pious personalities, Urudi – songs telling the events of war, Viruthangal – songs in praise of god, Kissukal – songs narrating the stories of prophets of Islam, Khessukal – romantic ballads, Marriage songs are the different kinds of Mappila songs popular in Kerala.
The practice of Mappila songs happened along with a parallel literary tradition prevalent in Malayalam language, Manipravalam (literary style with a mixture of Sanskrit and Malayalam). These songs come with a blend of Kerala’s folk songs and Arabic musical tradition and have been influenced by both oral and written tradition of the region. Mappilappattu is hence a song which depicts the cultural tradition of Muslim community especially from north Malabar.
