How did islam spread to the maldives

Omg omg omg omg im from Maldives. Well i forgot excaclty how but this dude came and he told the sultan of Male' i think about believing in islam and the king said theres a seamonster also known as 'fureytha' in dhivehi the language used by madlivians.SO the king asked the dude who came to give knowledge about islam that if he cud get rid of the fureytha that the people of Maldives had to give a women as a sacrifice to then only wud the country believe in Islam.The dude pretended to be a woman and waited at the sacrifice spot at night waiting for the fureytha while reciting the holy quran and the seamonster fureytha dude never came .From then maldives became an Islamic country
