Members of the Queensland Multicultural Roundtable Associate Professor Mohamad Abdalla Queensland has a new multicultural advisory group to drive a more contemporary approach to promoting multiculturalism across the state. Regional languages South Africa is a Christian majority nation with Islam being a minority religion, practised by roughly 1.6% of the total population. Islam in South Africa has grown in three different phases. The first phase brought the earliest Muslims as part of the involuntary migration of slaves, artisans, political prisoners, and political exiles from the Dutch East Indies to the Cape Colony from 1652 to 1800. The second phase was the arrival of indentured labourers from British India to work in the sugar-cane fields in Natal from 1860 to 1911. Of the approximately 176,000 Indians of all faiths who were transported to the Natal province, almost 7–10% of the first shipment were Muslims. The third phase has been marked by a wave of African Muslims following the end of apartheid in 1994. Recent figures put the number of these immigrants at approximately between 75,000 and 100,000. In addition, a considerable number of Muslims from South Asia have also arrived as economic migrants. Although the majority of Muslims are Sunni, smaller numbers are Shia, particularly in Cape Town. Further information: Cape Malays § History In the 17th century, the Dutch controlled East Indies and the Cape. Free Muslim labourers (Mardyckers), banished rebels and slaves were taken to the Cape from Dutch East Indies (modern day Indonesia) as free workers, and as slaves. A significant number of slaves from India were also Muslims. The first recorded arrival of free Muslims known as Mardyckers is in 1658. Mardycka or Muslim military expedition against Banu Jadhimah in January 630 AD The Expedition of Khalid ibn al-Walid against the Banu Jadhimah took place in January 630 AD (8 AH, 9th month of the Islamic Calendar). Muhammad dispatched Khalid ibn Walid to invite the tribesmen to Islam. In the year 8 of the Hijrah, Khalid ibn Walid was dispatched by Muhammad to invite the Banu Jadhimah to Islam. Khalid persuaded the tribesmen to disarm and embrace Islam. The tribesmen responded to Khalid's call with the phrase “saba’na, saba’na,” meaning "We have become Sabeans," a term understood as a general declaration of conversion. However, due to his unfamiliarity with their accent, Khalid misunderstood this as a rejection of Islam and ordered their execution. When Muhammad learned of this incident, he declared to God that he was innocent of Khalid's actions. He sent Ali ibn Abi Talib to pay compensation to the survivors. Despite this, Muhammad did not discharge Khalid or punish him, and he continued to entrust him with command over other expeditions. The expedition is mentioned in the Sunni hadith collection Sahih al-Bukhari as follows: The Prophet sent Khalid bin Al-Walid to the tribe of Jadhima and Khalid invited them to Islam but they could not express themselves by saying, "Aslamna (i.e. we have embraced Islam)," but they started saying "Saba'na! Saba'na (i.e. we have come out of one religion to another)." Khalid kept on killing (some of) them and taking (some of) them as captives and gave every one of us his Captive. Whe
Mufti Taha Karaan provides an insightful overview of how Muslim minority communities engaged with the geo political realities of their times in order to consolidate their presence and growth in various locations around the world. By analyzing and discussing the critical topics of migration, citizenship and the preservation of faith, in a coherent historical chronology and context, Mufti Taha Karaan proffers a refreshing and inspirational approach of understanding the Fiqh of Citizenship and Minorities in contemporary times.
The Muslim community of South Africa, specifically Cape Town, has a rich and dynamic history which spans more than 300 years. Mufti Taha Karaan proposes that Muslim minority communities around the world should scrupulously analyse how the Muslims of the Cape preserved their faith when confronted with the various challenges of slavery, colonialism and apartheid, and how they succeeded in developing into a vibrant, confident and socially contributing community within South African society.
