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.
