Palm-Tree-Moschee

Description

Die Palm-Tree-Moschee,, oder auch Kirche von Jan van Bougies, befindet sich in einem ehemaligen Wohnhaus und gilt als zweitälteste Moschee Südafrikas. Der Grundstein des Wohnhauses wurde in der niederländischen Kapkolonie 1788 gelegt, noch vor der durch die Briten gewährten Religionsfreiheit und sechs Jahre vor der älteren Auwal Moschee. Es ist damit das älteste Gebäude in der Long Street. Seit 1807 dient das Gebäude als Moschee.Die maßgeblich von Imam Tuan Guru mitbegründete islamische Gemeinde Kapstadts spaltete sich nach dessen Tod 1807 im Streit um dessen Nachfolge. Die Freigelassenen Frans von Bengalen und Jan van Bougies unterlagen in der Wahl des neuen Imams und erwarben daraufhin das Grundstück in der Long Street. Erster wurde der Imam der neugegründeten Moschee, die nach letzterem benannt wurde, nachdem er Alleinbesitzer geworden war.Der Name der Moschee geht auf die Zeit als Wohnhaus zurück, als sich vor dem damals noch einstöckigen Gebäude ein Palmenhain befand. Dieser verschwand im Verlaufe des Umbaus zur Moschee zwischen 1811 und 1821. Nur noch eine einzelne Palme erinnert daran.

The second oldest Masjid/Mosque in Cape Town and South Africa. This place personfies history and the legacy of Islam in Cape Town, South Africa. Warm, quaint and serving the community at large, Muslim and non Muslim, for over 200 years is a proud legacy to be a part of.
Always amazing and peaceful when I'm making Jumuah every week
Close knit family oriented mosque. That has its roots firmly placed in a challenging area of the CBD. It's open to the public for daily prayers.
Maashallah place to be cut annual rampies for moulood on Wednesday afternoon . Moulood 12 rabbi uWal our nabie birth . The greatest man that walked the earth . Was sent to dunyah for all mankind .
The community and family like atmosphere is excellent and the sermons are relevant to the current Islamic state in the world.
The fact that the masjid vibe at my very first instant gives a person a very warm welcome Alhamdulillaa.. Good people and a homely atmosphere.
Very nice masaajid in long street cape town. Many Islamic programmes available in and surrounding masaajid.
Significant part of the history of the Muslims in Cape Town. It is a totally part functional house and part mosque.
Amazing. May he be blessed for opening his home to the Muslim community.
Pleasant place to be. Warm people who are the custodians of the mosque.
