KWAPATA MASJID & ISLAMIC COMMUNITY CENTRE RECONSTRUCTION CAMPAIGN
An IDM Project | Rebuilding the Heart of Faith in Edendale
Total Target: R150,000
A Masjid That Changed Lives – Now It Needs Your Help
More than 35 years ago, in the heart of
Edendale, the KwaPata Masjid & Islamic Community Centre was
established as a simple building — but it became something far greater.
It became a home for new reverts, a school for children learning the
Quran, and a place of peace for a growing Muslim community
surrounded by challenges.
Through IDM’s years of dawah and education,
Islam took root here — and today, KwaPata stands as a symbol of faith, unity,
and hope.
But the Masjid that once brought the community together is now in urgent need
of reconstruction.
The walls are cracked, the roof has weakened,
and the space that once held hundreds for Jumu’ah is no longer safe.
To preserve the light of Deen in KwaPata, we must rebuild — together.
Our Vision: Restore, Rebuild, and Revive
The Islamic Dawah Movement (IDM) is leading the effort to reconstruct the KwaPata Masjid & Islamic Community Centre — ensuring that it continues to nurture faith, education, and unity for generations to come.
This is not just a renovation — it is a complete renewal of a space that has shaped lives for over three decades.
Once completed, the Masjid will include:
- A new prayer hall designed for safety and comfort
- Madrasah classrooms for over 80 students
- Proper wudhu (ablution) facilities
- Roof and wall reconstruction
- Improved flooring, lighting, and sound systems
A Community That Depends on This Masjid
KwaPata, located in the Edendale township of
Pietermaritzburg, is home to a growing Muslim community — many of whom
embraced Islam through IDM’s dawah and social outreach.
For them, this Masjid is more than a building; it is their identity, their
classroom, and their connection to Allah (SWT).
The KwaPata Centre provides:
- Daily Salah and Jumu’ah
- Madrasah classes for children and youth
- Adult education and revert support programs
- Feeding and welfare initiatives
- Community and dawah outreach
If this Masjid is not rebuilt, these essential services — and the spiritual heartbeat of the area — may be lost.
