MashaAllah
The Auwal Mosque (Masjid)
Is the first Masjid that was built in South Africa
It was constructed in 1794
Imaam Abdullah Qadi Abdus Salaam who was also know as Tuang Guru was the first Imaam of this Masjid Alhamdulillah
One of the greatest legacies achieved by the Muslim's of South Africa is the hand written Quraan,which date's back to the 17th century. Imaam Abdullah Qadi Abdus Salaam wrote the entire Quraan from memory when in prison on Robin Island, and this Quraan Al Kareem is in this Masjid Alhamdulillah

Alhamdulillah this Masjid also has ladies facilities

Fantastic and simple. In the beautiful Bo Kaap area, it is the first masjid in south africa. It also has a handwritten Quran on display which was apparently written by a saint and one of the earliest muslims to arrive in south africa. Quite remarkable and without a doubt, worth a visit.
