The city of Boo-Kaap known for first Muslim community in South Africa
looks very peaceful and I love the colors on each homes. It only adds to its beauty.

Muslims had to practice their religion in secrecy as freedom of religion was only granted in 1805.

In its beginning it was obvious they had to fight for their beliefs, for their faith. Just like many religious people do when it comes to settling in other regions with different beliefs. For them it was even tougher since most of them were brought by force as slaves. While reading your post, I could see how they grew with increase numbers of mosques, Islamic quarters... Their faith and their beliefs have been winning.
Great and very interesting history of the first Muslim community in South Africa.
