Jumu'a Mosque of Cape Town
Jumu'a Mosque of Cape Town stands in Cape Town’s Bo-Kaap as a place of worship and community gathering. Founded in 2006 by Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as Sufi, the mosque received its building as a gift from the Bukhari Foundation. Its young, mixed congregation supports a dynamic community with regular teachings, events and da’wa activities.
Friday prayer begins with the call to prayer, while regular dhikr takes place in Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as Sufi’s zawiyya. Men and women have wudu facilities, including a dedicated ablution area for ladies. A library holds Islamic texts, with access arranged through the trustees. People also regularly enter Islam here, adding another dimension to its religious life.
During Ramadan, iftar brings soup, bread, dates and water to the community. The kitchen warms food for Ramadan, Mawlud and related gatherings. The annual Moussem continues here under the leadership of Amir Rhomeez Hendricks.
