The Habibia Soofie Mosque was built in 1905 by Shah Goolam Muhammad Soofie Saheb (R.A) of Durban. Also known as the Habibia or the College, the Habibia Soofie Mosque is the third largest Mosque and second largest Islamic complex in Southern Africa. The mosque stands as a hub of Spirituality and Sufism in Cape Town
The plan of the mosque is the result of a junction of an L shaped volume with a central almost squared one. The 2400 m2 mosque has two floors. The building has a main prayer hall, women’s prayer hall. The mosque contains seven minarets and a dome painted in white and green ornamentations.
On the same property as the mosque is the Kramat of Moulana Abdul Latief.
