What is Bo-Kaap - Boorhaanol Islam Movement

What is Bo-Kaap

A living monument to the supreme sacrifices made by the pioneers of Islam in South Africa
The Cradle of Islam where the first community of Muslims of diverse backgrounds had to co-existin accordance with the dictates of the Deen
A cultural fusion of East and West

Bo-Kaap Poem & Song

CHORUS

Bo-Kaap and beyond is the Cradle of Islam

Filled with culture history heroes & eemaan

B

Beginning as always in the name of Allah
Blessings on our master we constantly implore

O

Our mission here is to serve Him, and only Him
Oceans and mountains do, so too the plant kingdom

K

King’s slaves and freedom fighters our ancestors were
Kanala and kaparangs only to prosper

A

Auwal and aaghier they established for our use
And plentiful minarets despite their disputes

A

Anger and anxiety may split us into bits
As capital erodes and destroys our spirits

P

Perchance in the process we may learn some taqwa
Perhaps we will earn His Pleasure, Insha-Allah
