History of Muslims in South Africa: A Chronology

http://www.sahistory.org.za/pages/library-resources/online%20books/history-muslims/1930-40s.htm




Some Note from above website>1869 Arrival of Muslims from Gujarat and Kathiawar 40Since 1869, Muslims from the Indian States of Gujarat and Kathiawar arrived in South Africa and were referred to as "Passenger" Indians by the authority. These immigrants paid their own travel expenses, and came with the specific purpose of trading and commerce. They served as wholesalers and retailers in urban towns, backward rural towns, coal mining areas and also in several developed White centres in Natal and the Transvaal. They called themselves "Arabs", probably because they wished to be identified as Muslims. These "Arab" traders from Western India possessed sufficient resources to establish themselves as traders in staple items imported from India, such as rice, ghee, dholl, tamarinds, dried fish, etc. Within two decades, they captured a large share of the local trade in the rural areas of Natal and the Transvaal. This displeased the White traders and so in the 1890s legislation was passed placing further restrictions and growth on the Indian traders as a whole.1874 Arrival of Ismail Kajee and other businessmen from Gujarat 44Another batch of Gujarati-speaking Muslims arrived in Natal. Amongst them were Ismail Kajee, father of the notable A I Kajee [d 1948, aged 52], who arrived from Mauritius where he was in business, and Cassim Paruk of the present Nu-Shop group of retail business outlets.After 1875 more experienced "Arab" traders began to dominate the retail trade and even entered the wholesale business. The statistics show that there were in Durban in:* 1870 two free Indian stores* 1875 ten free Indian and one "Arab" stores* 1880 thirty free Indian and seven "Arab" stores·         1885 there were as much as 40 "Arab" stores in and around Durban.·           

1884 Arrival of Esmail Mahomed Paruk

Another prominent Muslim, Esmail Mahomed Paruk, born in 1867 in Kathore, India, arrived from Mauritius and settled in Durban and soon established his first retail business in West Street. Thereafter, he went into wholesale trade; his firm becoming one of the biggest concerns in Natalamongst the Indians. As a financial giant, he extended his activities into milling and tea estates on the north coast of Natal.The magnanimous E M Paruk had an imposing house at 383 Currie Road, Durban, where India's first Agent-General, Srinivasan Sastri , lived at a time when White-owned hotels were open only to members of the White community. E M Paruk became a Trustee of the West Street Masjid in 1899 and served as Chairman of the Trust Board until his death in 1942.1885- Construction of West Street Masjid:second in 1920 Durban 521895- Shah Ghulam Muhammad Habibi or 1910 Soofie Saheb [Rahimahu Allah] 59The Juma Masjid Sunnat Jamat Anjuman Islam,popularly known as West Street Masjid, was built in 1885, four years after the construction of the Grey Street Masjid. 1890 Formation of the Indian Committee Durban 551893 Arrival of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi57A litigation, involving £40 000.0.0d [forty thousand punds sterling], between the firms of Dada Abdulla and Company, merchants and shipping agents in Durban, and Tayob Hajee Khan Mahomed and Company of Pretoria, saw the arrival of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi [d 1948] in Durban. Gandhi, who came from Gujrat and speaking Gujarati as well as Kutchi, "had been hired by the Porbundar branch of Dada Abdulla's firm to assist their team of lawyers as an interpreter and adviser.1894 Founding of the Natal Indian Congress 58





South Africa around 1900 ADThere were a few hundred people in the village. The oldest of them remembered the days when the coastlines of Natal were covered with natural bush being cleared by colonial settlers for the planting of cane which became the crop on which the colony's later prosperity depended. Some of them had arrived from India under the recruitment of contract labour instituted by the British Government in agreement with the Government of India. These were the indentured labourers. They were housed, fed and paid ten shillings a month to till the earth, tend, and raise the crops, and provide some of the domestic service which the barbarous Zulu was then not able to perform.

إِنَّ إِلَهَكُمْ لَوَاحِدٌ Truly, your god is truly One!" [Qur'an 37:4]
And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad )but We revealed to him (saying): La ilaha illah [none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allah)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)." [quran 21:25] That is because Allah is the (only) Reality, and because whatever else they invoke besides Him is Falsehood; and because Allah,- He is the Most High, Most Great. [quran 31:30] 

Say, “He is God, the One. God, to Whom the creatures turn for their needs. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.” (Quran, 112:1-4) 



The Arabic word Allah means God (the one and only true God who created the whole universe). This word Allah is a name for God, which is used by Arabic speakers, both Arab Muslims and Arab Christians.

Ibn
Khaldun and the Rise and Fall of Empires

Caroline
Stone

The 14th-century
historiographer and historian Abu Zayd 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Khaldun
was a brilliant scholar and thinker now viewed as a founder of modern
historiography, sociology and economics. Living in one of human
kind's most turbulent centuries, he observed at first hand, or
participated in, such decisive events as the birth of new states,
the disintegration of the Muslim Andalus and the advance of the
Christian reconquest, the Hundred Years' War, the expansion of
the Ottoman Empire, the decline of Byzantium and the epidemic of
the Black Death. Considered by modern critics as the thinker that
conceived and created a philosophy of history that was
undoubtedly one of the greatests works ever created by a man of
intelligence, so groundbreaking were his ideas, and so far ahead
of his time, that his writings are taken as a lens through which
to view not only his own time but the relations between Europe
and the Muslim world in our own time as well.

One
Thousand Years of Missing History

Professor Salim
T S Al-Hassani

The following essay
aims to alert communities as to the particular significance of
the Muslim civilisation and its historical role in contributing
to the birth of modern civilisation. The author, Professor Salim
Al-Hassani, a specialist of Muslim Heritage and a pioneer of its
defense, focuses first on various instances of distorted history
in scholarship, school curricula and media culture. He shows how
unjustified is the suppression of centuries of history from
history books and how the jump from Hellenistic times to
Renaissance is rather the manifestation of ignorance and
misconceptions. Presenting selected examples, he then proves that
this suppressed period, belonging to the classical period of the
history of Islam, and which lasted for about a millennium, knew a
creative contribution to civilisation by men and women of
different faiths. Those knowledge, science and art creators built
on ancient knowledge and were the drive of one of the richest
periods of history in terms of science, culture, technology and
art.

Abu
al-Qasim Al-Zahrawi the Great Surgeon

Dr.
Ibrahim Shaikh

Abu al-Qasim Khalaf
ibn al-Abbas Al-Zahrawi (936-1013 CE), also known in the West as
Albucasis, was an Andalusian physician. He is considered as the
greatest surgeon in the Islamic medical tradition. His
comprehensive medical texts, combining Middle Eastern and
Greco-Roman classical teachings, shaped European surgical
procedures up until the Renaissance. His greatest contribution to
history is Kitab al-Tasrif, a thirty-volume collection of medical
practice, of which large portions were translated into Latin and
in other European languages.

Al-Muqaddasi
and Human Geography: An Early Contribution to Social Sciences

FSTC
Research Team

Recent scholarly
interest in the genesis of social sciences in Islamic culture is
a noteworthy shift. Until recent times, the development of these
fields was credited exclusively to the modern Western tradition,
especially to the 19th century birth of humanities. The ground
breaking contribution of Ibn Khaldun was recognized; however, the
author of the Muqaddima stands as an isolated genius. In the
following article, an attempt is made to broaden the field by
highlighting the contributions of several other scholars in
laying the foundation of social sciences in Islamic culture.
After a short survey on Al-Biruni and Al-Raghib al-Isfahani, the
focus of the article is dedicated to the 10th-century Palestinian
geographer Al-Muqaddasi, who touched on various subjects of
interest to the social sciences in his book Ahsan
al-taqasim fi ma'rifat al-aqalim.

Piri
Reis: A Genius 16th-Century Ottoman Cartographer and Navigator

FSTC
Research Team

Piri Reis is a well
known Ottoman-Turkish admiral, geographer and cartographer from
the 16th century. His famous world map compiled in 1513 and
discovered in 1929 at Topkapi Palace in Istanbul is the oldest
known Turkish map showing the New World, and one of the oldest
maps of America still in existence. The half of the map which
survives shows the western coasts of Europe and North Africa and
the coast of Brazil with reasonable accuracy in addition to
various Atlantic islands including the Azores and Canary Islands.
This article presents the achievements of Piri Reis in
cartography through the analysis of the surviving partial
versions of his two world maps and his book of navigation, the
Kitab-i Bahriye.

Dam
Construction in the Islamic Civil Engineering

FSTC
Research Team

Dams are required in
most hydraulic systems, for irrigation, regulating flow of rivers
and in modern times for the production of energy. In the
classical Islamic world, dam construction received a special attention
as an integral part of large civil engineering works. Since the
Umayyad Caliphate, dams were built in different Islamic regions.
This article is a survey presenting the tradition of dam
construction by Muslims, characterized by a rich variety of structures
and forms.

Using an
Astrolabe

Emily
Winterburn

The history of the
astrolabe begins more than two thousand years ago, but it is in
the Islamic classical world that the astrolabe was highly
developed and its uses widely multiplied. Introduced to Europe
from Islamic Spain in the early 12th century, it was one of the
major astronomical instruments until the modern times. In this
concise and beautifully illustrated article, Emily Winterburn
casts a short story of the Islamic art of making astrolabes –
developing the different varieties, the description of their
structure and parts and their uses in social, religious and
scientific functions.

Islamic
Automation: Al-Jazari's Book of Knowledge of Ingenious
Mechanical Devices

Dr.
Gunalan Nadarajan

In the following
essay, Dr. Gunalan Nadarajan, Associate Dean of Research and
Graduate Studies in the College of Arts and Architecture at Penn
State University, draws on the work of al-Jazari, the famous 13th
century Islamic scholar, engineer and scientist, to develop an
alternative history of robotics. The work of Al-Jazari is
considered as a significant contribution to the history of
robotics and automation insofar as it enables a critical
re-evaluation of classical notions and the conventional history of
automation and therefore of robotics. In his analysis, the author
details the notion of "Islamic automation", where the
notions of control that have informed the conventional history of
automation and robotics are substituted by subordination and
submission to the rhythms of the machines.

Creating
a 3D Model with Motion Analysis of Taqi al-Din's Six-Cylinder
Pump

Joseph
Vera

Among the original
machines described in the corpus of Islamic technology, the
six-cylinder "monobloc" piston pump designed by Taqi
al-Din Ibn Ma'ruf in the late 16th century holds
a special place. Working as a suction pump, this complex machine
included components that are often associated with modern
technology, such as a camshaft, a cylinder block, pistons, and
non-return valves. In this article, Joseph Vera, an expert in
re-engineering ancient inventions, describes how he created a
SolidWorks CAD model of this remarkable pump, that he completed
with a motion simulation. The conclusion he drew after creating
the model and the simulation is that the engineers of the Islamic
tradition, represented by Taqi al-Din, had a very solid grasp of
kinematics, dynamics and fluid mechanics. He notes also that Taqi
al-Din's "monobloc" pump is a remarkable example of a
machine using renewable energy, a topic that is currently of
utmost importance.
