South Beach Masjid Renovation – Support the Masjid & Community Centre

Rebuild South Beach Masjid & Islamic Community Centre
A House of Worship. A Home for the Community.
Target: R250,000


A Once Vibrant Masjid, Now in Urgent Need of Reconstruction
For over three decades, the South Beach Masjid & Islamic Community Centre stood as a pillar of faith and togetherness in the heart of Durban's South Beach area. It was a place where sailors stopped to pray, workers found peace after long days, and children's voices echoed as they learned the words of Allah (SWT).
Today, those same walls tell a different story - cracks spread across the ceilings, the roof leaks, and the once-busy prayer hall now struggles to host daily salah.
What was once a thriving centre of worship and learning has become unsafe and nearly unusable.
The time has come to rebuild - not just a structure, but a sanctuary of faith.



A Vision to Restore Hope and Worship
The Islamic Dawah Movement (IDM) has launched an urgent appeal to reconstruct the South Beach Masjid & Islamic Community Centre - to restore it into a safe, beautiful, and welcoming space for prayer, learning, and community service.
This reconstruction will include:

  • A completely rebuilt main prayer hall

  • Madrasah classrooms for children

  • Ablution (wudhu) facilities for men and women

  • A revamped community area for gatherings and classes

  • Safe, durable roofing and flooring

When complete, this Masjid will once again echo with the adhan, shelter daily worshippers, and serve as a home for Islamic education and unity.


Why This Project Matters
Durban's South Beach is home to a diverse and growing Muslim population, as well as thousands of visitors who work, live, or pass through the city centre.
The Masjid serves:

  • Local residents and business workers

  • Travellers seeking a place to pray

  • Over 80 madrasah students

  • Community programs and youth halaqahs

Without reconstruction, this important centre risks closing its doors entirely.
With your support, it can continue to serve hundreds of worshippers and learners every single week.

A Call from the Community
"This Masjid has been part of our lives for as long as we can remember.
We learnt here, prayed here, and raised our children here.
To see it deteriorate breaks our hearts - but we have hope, because the Ummah always rebuilds."
— South Beach Musallees Committee
