Brief history of the organization:.

Organisation formed in 1985 when the first residents moved into Pelican Park from various Indian areas in Cape Town.
● Pelican Park was established as an Indian area – then under the apartheid – group areas system.
● Salaah was performed in a marquee at the residence of Bhai in Falcon Crescent Rd.
● In 1988 a fully-fledged meeting was held of all the residence of Pelican Park and an organization was formed – called the Sunni Islamic Council of Pelican Park.

● Presently the masjid is 90% completed besides a few areas of the masjid to be completed that is the entrance hall and the paving of the masjid ground which will cost us the region of R 100 000.00 to complete insha’allah.
