Habibia Soofie Saheb Masjid, Cape Town

Al-Imam Al-Hafidh Jalaluddeen As-Suyuti RA, one of the greatest scholars of Islam says in Al-Hawi Lil Fatawa: “To commemorate the Mawlid, which is basically gathering people together, reciting parts of the Qu'ran, narrating stories about the Prophet's birth and the signs that accompanied it, then serving food, and afterwards, departing, is one of the good innovations; and the one who practices it gets rewarded, because it involves venerating the status of the Prophet and expressing joy at his honourable birth.”

Voices behind the veil: a tribute to the women of Habibia

E-mail Print PDF


Amidst the aromatic fragrances tantalizing the olfactory senses, the eyes tearing from the stinging vapors emanating from the onions, we hear the chatter and excitement brewing in the kitchen. MMMM... all in preparation for the hundred years celebration of an institution that has served the needs of a community in more ways than one. A service that has excellently been maintained by every sector of the Muslim community, especially the WOMEN of Habibia.

This is a special tribute, recognizing and acknowledging the unselfish sacrifice of time and physical effort and the dedication and perserverance of many women who sincerely and lovingly serve humanity.

The Spiritual Practices at Habibia

E-mail Print PDF

In 1905 Albert Einstein wrote three groundbreaking papers in science, including one on his famous theory of relativity. This theory initiated a scientific revolution that challenged atheistic trends in science and provided Western humanity, in particular, with a newer and humbler way of looking at the universe. In South Africa, the Anglo-Boer war had just come to an end but the colonization or repression of non-Europeans was a shared characteristic of both British and Afrikaner.  Non-Europeans still suffered the yoke of oppression, even if the degree of brutality varied. But brutality it still was.

Habibia’s spiritual origins: The impact of Khwaja Habib Ali Shah RA and Hazrath Soofie Sahib RA

E-mail Print PDF


[Verily, on the friends of Allah is there no fear, nor do they grieve. Those who believe and are always conscious of Allah.] (Surah Yunus)

Introduction

The very name Habibia is derived from the glimmering personality of Khwaja Habib Ali Shah Chisti (R.A.), who was the Murshid [Spiritual Guide] of Mawlana Abdul Latif (R.A.). Habibia was designated as a Khanqah [Spiritual Hospice] by Sufi Sahib (R.A.), brother murid [disciple] and brother in law of Mawlana Abdul Latif (R.A.). To understand the spiritual force that drives Habibia, one needs to look at the lives of these two sterling servants of Islam. In this regard it would be useful as a first step to paint a brief background to Sufism in India.
