located in Johannesburg, South Africa, and is sometimes referred to as the Jumah Mosque.

One of Johannesburg’s oldest mosques and places of prayer, the mosque is located on stand 788.

The first Muslim settlement built a wood and corrugated iron house in 1906 after erecting a tent during the last years of the nineteenth century. The building of a structure with brick walls was finished in 1918. The contemporary Kerk Street Mosque, built by Driehaus Prize winner Abdel-Wahed El-Wakil, took the place of the brick mosque in 1990.

The National Monument Council designated the mosque as a national monument “because of its historical, artistic, and cultural value.” The following are some of the reasons why the Kerk Street Mosque is noteworthy historically and culturally:

-The oldest Muslim mosque in Johannesburg is where the Kerk Street Mosque is located.

-The Kerk Street Mosque has religious and cultural value and is connected to the Johannesburg Muslim community.

-The Kerk Street Mosque is a stunning structure with outstanding craftsmanship and design, giving it aesthetic significance.
