Praise be to Allah

We pray that Allah the Almighty for ever and ever bless us with a pious community and make us true followers of his Nabi SAW.

History

A community that is connected to its history always enjoys prosperity and blessings. Community history is the one factor that binds and unites us.

We do hope that by presenting this brief history we are able to rekindle fond memories of our town, remember our seniors, learn from their experiences, follow their light and footsteps and most of all unite us as the Muslim community of KwaDukuza. The iconic Stanger Jamia Musjid has a rich history of 122 years. The courageous act
of donating a site for the Musjid was admired by many, which led to Br. DM Seedat then donating an additional land (what is known as Madrassah arcade) in 1920, for the purposes of deriving rental income that maybe utilised for the upkeep and development of the Musjid and Madrassah which was under the management of the Musjid.

A simple wood iron structure was erected in 1903 and this was utilised for performing of Salaah. In the year 1910 a Musjid structure was built. This
building was also used as a Madrassah until 1930. It was the generosity of Hassan Ismail Kota on the 30th August 1897 that the present Musjid site was acquired. This kind-hearted brother then went on to donate this land to what was known as the Congregation of the Stanger Mahomedan Mosque on 14th October 1918.
