Celebrating or heritage asMslims in the Cape, theMslim Stdents Association(MSA) o the Cape hascompiled this map o Cape
Town rom an Islamic cltralperspective. We hope that themap will be a handy gide toall torists visiting or beatilcity allowing yo to explore orhistory, liestyle, cisine andcltre.
This printed map presents a selection o a ew Islamic places to visit.
For a more complete listing as well as rther inormation please visit
www.msacape.org and www.livingislam.co.za
The MSA o the Cape is a non-prot organization that protectsand promotes the interests oMslim stdents in the Cape.The MSA seeks to encorage
an Islamic Identity especially inthese times o moral challengesthrogh a holistic nderstandingo the teachings o the Qranand the way o lie o the ProphetMhammad (pbh*).
*pbuh peace be upon him.Muslims say this after mentioningthe names of all the prophets ofGod as a mark of respect
Allah is the Arabic word or God, a name sed by both Arab
Mslims and Arab Christians alike. Islam is not a new religion,
bt the same trth that God revealed throgh all His prophets
to all people. For 1.5 billion o the worlds poplation, Islam
is both a religion and a complete way o lie. Mslims ollow a
religion o peace, mercy, and orgiveness, and the majority have
nothing to do with the extremely grave events which have come
to be associated with their aith.
Islam 101What is Islam?The Arabic word Islam simply meanssbmission, and is derived rom a wordmeaning peace. In a religios contextit means complete sbmission to thewill o God. Mohammedanism is thsa misnomer becase it sggests thatMslims worship Mhammad (pbh)rather than God.
different attributes of God arabic in centre is allah
Islam in South AfricaThe arrival o Mslims in Soth Arica in the 1600s and their
consolidation as a close-knit religios commnity was a milestone in
the socio-economic and political development o the contry. Ever
since their rst arrival as slaves, mercenaries and exiles rom colonial
Dtch-rled Batavia (Indonesia), a steady stream o adherents o
Islam ollowed. Enslaved, thogh eventally emancipated, they
became a worthy actor in the lie o or nation today, rendering the
ondations o Islam rmly on Soth Arican soil.
We wish to acknowledge our major sponsorsAlbaraka Bank and Coral International
and all those who made this map a reality. May God blessyou all abundantly. Amen.

Prayerin IslamSalaah (or prayer) is the
second pillar o Islam andthe most important pillarater the declaration o aith.Salaah is the name or theobligatory prayers which are
perormed fve times a day,and are a direct link betweenthe worshipper and God.Visitors to the Muslim worldare struck by the centrality
o prayers in daily lie. Thereis no hierarchical authorityin Islam, and no priests, sothe prayers are led by anylearned person who knowsthe Quran, chosen by thecongregation. These fve
prayers contain verses rom
the Quran, and are said inArabic, the language o theRevelation, but personalsupplication can be oered inones own language. Prayersare said beore sunrise, atnoon, mid-aternoon, ater
sunset and nightall, therebydetermining the rhythm othe entire day. Although it is
preerable to worship togetherin a mosque, a Muslim may
pray almost anywhere, suchas in felds, ofces, actoriesand universities.

? DID YoU Know?Muslims accept the originalunaltered Torah (the Scriptureo Moses (pbuh)) and theoriginal Bible (the Gospel o
Jesus (pbuh)) since they wererevealed by God. However,neither o those originalscriptures is in existence today,in their e ntirety. Thereore,Muslims ollow the subsequent,fnal, and preserved revelationo God: the Quran.
The Quran was not authoredby Muhammad (pbuh). It isthe Word o God, revealedto Muhammad, and written
into physical orm by hiscompanions. The Quran isa record o the exact wordsrevealed by God through theAngel Gabriel to the ProphetMuhammad. It was memorizedby Muhammad and thendictated to his Companions,
and written down by scribes,who cross-checked it during hislietime. Not one word o its 114chapters has been changed overthe centuries, so that the Quran
is in every detail the uniqueand miraculous text which wasrevealed to Muhammad ourteencenturies ago. This preservationcontinues today at madrassahsacross the Cape where theQuran is taught and memorised.
The Quran, the last revealedWord o God, is the primesource o every Muslims aithand practice. It deals with all
the subjects that concern us ashuman beings: wisdom, doctrine,worship, and law, but its basictheme is the relationship betweenGod and His creatures. At thesame time it provides guidelinesor a just society, proper humanconduct and an equitableeconomic system.
