When did Islam come to Uganda?
Evidence of Islam in Uganda dates back at least to 1844 and possibly to 1830. The arrival of Christian missionaries after 1875 hindered the success of the Muslim missionaries.
In 1884, Mwanga became king of Buganda, the dominant tribe in what is now Uganda and, although instructed in Christianity as a child, favoured the Muslims because they were more tolerant of his homosexuality than were the Christian missionaries. Mwanga's younger brother and successor refused to be circumcised, as required by the Muslims, and he was replaced by yet another brother.
A revolt by the Christian population saw Mwanga restored to the throne and he, of course, gave his allegiance to the Christian missionaries in spite of their opposition to sodomy. Muslims now represent around 12 per cent of the Ugandan population.

Further more there is also one reference more tabqat ibne saad, Chapter name Nisah (Tabqat ibne Saad is also very famous book)... (He mentioned this in his book which he wrote down on the Sirrah of Harzat Aishah the length of the book is more than 300 pages you can look into it)
She did not want her burial to be delayed, as it was reported that she died during the night on the 17th of Ramadaan, after Witr. Or it may have been because that was more concealing for her, or perhaps during her lifetime, especially towards the end of it, there appeared an idea that it was makrooh (Not likely ) to bury people at night, and she wanted to make the correct Islamic ruling known. Or it may have been for some other reason. In general it is permissible to bury a person at night if there is a reason to do so. And Allaah knows best.
This was mentioned by Muhammad ibn 'Umar al-Waaqidi, and was also narrated by al-Haakim in al-Mustadrak (4/6-7) and by Ibn Sa'd in al-Tabaqaat (8/76-77), and in Siyar A'laam al-Nubalaa' (2/192) and in other sources.
