Sheikh Sayed Mahmud Mazar in Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.

History : The early history of the Cape cannot be neglected for it is here that local Muslims have their roots. Historical research shows that what transpired during the 17th century at the Cape involved not only the Malays, but also large numbers of Indians, Javanese, Bengalese, and even Arabians. In fact, there were more Indians brought to the Cape than any other nationality. Therefore, be we Malays or Indians, our history originated here and cannot be ignored. Firstly, we must look at events in the East which led to Muslims being brought to the Cape. There was power struggle between the Dutch and the Portuguese for supremacy of the seas. There two powers were competing to plunder and loot as much as possible. In order to do so, they build up a large naval capacity in the Asiatic sea. The target centres were places like Bombay, Goa, Cochin, the Coramandel Coast and Bengal in India, Colombo and Galle in Ceylon, Medan and Padang in Sumatra, Patani in Malacca, Batavia and Bali in Java, as well as smaller islands like Macassar, Rotti, Timor, Ternate, Tidore and others.

    

Very soon, the inhabitants began to resist and united to form defences against the imperialist tyranny. The men to lead the people were of a high calibre; men of great spiritual intellect who commanded a great deal of respect from the communities. They were however cunningly captured, and together with their followers, banished to the Cape.

In the meantime, Jan van Riebeeck, had his own peculiar problem in the Cape. His plan was to establish a Dutch garrison here to defend the route to the East, but all was not going well. He had hoped that the capture of the local Hottentot population adequately serve his labour force requirements. This proved difficult as the Hottentot soon fled to the interior. Those captured were too lazy to work. Van Riebeeck wrote to the Dutch Council in the East (VOC) to plead for slaves. The slaves would be used for the hard labour, in addition to which they could be made carry stones, build the Fort, make bricks, dig, plough, sow plant and construct homes. They would also be used to work the salt mines and club seals. This marked the beginning of the Muslims community in the Cape. The Dutch arrived as Conquerors and slave-masters, and the Muslims arrived as Conquered slaves. Some historians have a different view:

“the slaves” arrived here with chains around their necks, leg-irons and handcuffs on their wrists, but their minds could not be chained. These very ‘slaves’ were the leaders of resistance against the Dutch colonialist and exploiters in the Far East. These ‘slaves’ did not have experience in battles, but they brought with them a supranational ideology of liberation …the ideology of ISLAM.

It is said that 250 years ago a prophecy was made that there would be a “circle of Islam” around the Cape. According to local beliefs the circle is complete. Comprising the tombs of Saints and Auliyah (friends of Allah) who were brought as slaves to the Cape. It starts at the old cemetery on the slopes of Signal Hill, just above the quarry in Strand Street, where two saintly men lie buried, the circle continues to two graves on top of Signal Hill. the circle then continues at a grave much revered, situated above Oude Kraal beyond Camps Bay, and sweeps around the mountain to a Kramat at Constantia, on the Tokai Road. The circle proceeds to the most important and widely known of all tombs, the Kramat of Sheikh Yusuf at Faure, on the farm Zandvleit. The circle is complete by an old tomb on Robben Island. Modern pilgrims can visit all, except the Island Tomb, in a single day.

Cape Mazaar Society : The Cape Mazaar Society was formed in January 1982 initially for the upgrade and maintenance of the Shrine of Sheikh Abdurahman Matura (R.A.) on Robben Island. However the name chosen “The Robben Island Mazaar (Kramat) Society” was rejected by the old Prison Authorities. Changing the name to “The Cape Mazaar Society” meant that we now had to look at all the Kramats in the Western Cape as custodians.

The Annual Death Anniversary celebrations of the Saint of Robben Island has grown from humble beginnings to gigantic proportions to date. At the first celebration only 20 participants were allowed on the Island. In September 2004, ± 600 visitors from all provinces of South Africa and a few from foreign lands participated.

The Cape Mazaar Society was founded by His Eminence Hazrath Shaykh Sayyid Irfaan Ali Shah(may Allah Ta'ala rasie his maqaam and give him a long and healthy life) who is the master of many tariqah's.

Some Ulema have stated that cape town is known as the Land of the Awilya..

There are mazaars dating back as far as the early 1600...

HAZRATH KHALID SHA'S LIFE


Hadrat Sayed Muhammad Khalid Shah Chisti Saberi (alaihir rahmah) was born in 1935 in the city of Ajmer Shahreef in India. He hailed from a very noble family, being direct descendents of the Holy Prophet Hadrat Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). His father, Hadrat Sayed Muhammed Iqbal Shah (alaihir rahmah), and his grandfather, Hadrat Sayed Muhammed Jahangir Shah (alaihir rahmah), were great Awliya of their time and were very prominent personalities of the CHISTI SABERI SILSILA.

Due to his great influence, the Chisti Sabri Jahangiri Silsila spread to many countries like India, U.K., Pakistan, South Africa, etc. and places such as Jherruck, Paak Patan, Lahore, Bareilly, PeShahwar, etc. In the early sixties, Hadrat Khalid Shah (alaihir rahmah) had the Buland Darwaza constructed at the Mazaar of Hadrat Sabir Paak (alaihir rahmah) in Kalyar Shahreef, India. He personally purchased the wood for the door. Hadrat had once made an intention to make a catera or silver railing to place around the blessed grave of Hadrat Sabir Paak (alaihir rahmah) to prevent the people from leaning onto the grave. Upon helping a Hindu devotee in Kalyar by miraculously making his deaf and dumb child hear and speak within 3 days, the Hindu had offered to donate silver for the railing. This railing was made by Hadrat?s mureeds in Surat in India. Due to his personality many Hindus accepted Islam at his hands in India. Seeing this as a "threat" the government of India banned him from entering India. As a result of this banning order, he was unable himself to present the silver catera in the Mazaar of Hadrat Sabir Paak (alaihir rahmah).
Hadrat Khalid Shah (alaihir rahmah) now focused his attention to the Murshid of Hadrat Sabir Paak (alaihir rahmah) - Hadrat Baba Farid Ganje Shahkar (alaihir rahmah)- in Paak Patan Shahreef, Pakistan. Here he establised a huge Khanqah known as KaShahna-e-Masoodiya Sabireeya Khanqah where the Urs of Hadrat Baba Farid (alaihir rahmah) is grandly celebrated during the first five days of Muharram and which attracts devotees from all parts of the world - India, Pakistan as well as South Africa. In the 1980's, upon the instruction of Hadrat Khalid Shah (alaihir rahmah), a golden Kalas (a structure mounted on the Dome) was made by his mureeds which was placed on the dome of the mazaar of Hadrat Baba Farid (alaihir rahmah). In Hyderabad, he was instrumental in establishing the Jashne Eid-e-Meelad-un Nabi Organization, the Ghareeb-e-Nawaaz Urs Committee and the Ghareeb Nawaaz Yateemkhana.

Hadrat Khalid Shah (alaihir rahmah) set his blessed foot for the very first time in South Africa in 1966. The Chisti Sabri Silsila in South Africa was already founded in 1944 with the blessing of Hadrat Iqbal Shah (alaihir rahmah) by his mureed, Janab Ibrahim Madari Chist Sabri. May Almighty Allah shower His infinite Mercy upon his grave. Aameen. He also visited South Africa in 1972, 1976, 1981, 1982, 1983 and 1984. During his visits to South Africa, thousands of people became his mureeds. He also delivered many inspiring talks throughout his visit. The Chisti Sabri Silsila spread throughout South Africa, including Botswana and Lesotho. Hadrat showed a great deal of concern towards his mureeds and well- wishers. He treated the poor and the rich alike and feared none besides Allah. Many respected people and Ulema used to seek Hadrat's advice on various issues. There are numerous Karamats or miracles attributed to him.

During Hadrat Khalid Shah?s (alaihir rahmah) latter years his health began to deteriorate. His mureeds persuaded him to come to South Africa to receive expert medical advice, but in spite of all serious attempts to provide the best medical treatment, the Will and Divine Wisdom of Allah took its course. On the 16th of May 1984 (15 Shahbaan 1404 A.H.) Hadrat Khalid Shah (alaihir rahmah) left this mundane world for the Aakhirah. He is buried in Watville Benoni (South Africa) where the Urs is held every year in his honour attracting many devotees from all parts of the country. A beautiful Mazaar Shareef is being built over his Qabar Shareef. Hadrat Khalid Shah (alaihir rahmah) left behind 7 sons and 7 daughters
