Masjid ul-Akbar – Grace Street Mosque

Information

The grandson of Sultan Nabier, Imam Jabaarudien, also referred to as Abdul Maalick or Jan Bardien, arrived in Uitenhage around 1815. In the 1840s, he constructed Masjid-Al-Qudama, the first mosque. The Grace Street Mosque was constructed in Port Elizabeth in 1855 because the Muslims who had immigrated there had to travel by oxwagon on a Thursday night to attend Friday prayers at the mosque.
