Tuan Guru's mosque and madrasah were established in Dorp Street in the Bo Kaap on the property of Saartjie van de Kaap, daughter of Coridon of Ceylon, who was one of the first black land owners in the Bo-Kaap. The mosque is called "Masjid ul-Awwal" (the First Mosque), and is still standing today, though it has been rebuilt several times over the last 200 years. Many tourists, and important world leaders such as Nelson Mandela, have enjoyed visiting this historical mosque. It is from Cirebon that Tuan Guru's grandfather, Habib 'Umar Rahmat al-Faruq, travelled to the Moluccan chain in 1646 to spread Islam. He settled on the island of Tidore, becoming a member of the Sultan's royal household. Tuan Guru, or Imam 'Abdullah bin Qadi 'Abd al-Salam, was born in 1712. As a member of the royal family, Tuan Guru soon became the focus of the Dutch East India Company, who fearful of rebellion, detained him in Batavia, and finally exiled him to the Cape in 1780. Not only did Tuan Guru write the Qur'an from memory whilst imprisoned on Robben Island, but he also penned a 613-page textbook of Islamic belief, prayers and advice, which was used to teach Muslims at the Cape for over 100 years. He established South Africa's first madrasah in 1793, and later on, its first mosque in Dorp Street, Cape Town. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Ulama $z Indonesia $v Biography. 650 0 $a Muslim scholars $z Indonesia $v Biography. 650 0 $a Daʿwah (Islam) 650 7 $a Daʻwah (Islam) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888325 650 7 $a Muslim scholars. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01731774 650 7 $a Ulama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01160605 651 7 $a Indonesia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01209242 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032619.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FAC6B1B0477411EC81CA9FE82DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
