Q. Which Sufi saint's descendants are credited with converting the Memons to Islam in the 15th century?
Answer: Abdul Qadir Jilani
Notes: Memons, converted to Islam in the 15th century by Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani's progeny, migrated from Kathiawar villages like Porbander to South Africa in the late 19th century. They are a prosperous Muslim subgroup with distinct Sufi traditions and maintain strong Memon identity.
