In the year 1409, when he was sixty-five, he was said to have married a Muslim princess of Pasai and adopted the Persian title Iskandar Shah.[3] According to the Malay Annals, he converted to Islam after he dreamt that Mohammad came to him proclaiming the Shahada, and another where a man from Mecca gave a speech on Islam, and after he woke up, the man did come and perform the Asar prayer.[21] However, the 16th-century Portuguese writer Tomé Pires explicitly mentioned that Parameswara was succeeded by his son, named Chaquem Daraxa or Iskandar Shah, and that only the latter converted to Islam at the age 72. Nevertheless, the Malay Annals noted that it was during the reign of the third ruler Muhammad Shah that the ruling class and the subjects began to convert to Islam. While there are differing views on when the Islamisation of Malacca actually took place, it is generally agreed that Islam was firmly established by the reign of Muzaffar Shah.[22]
