The Emblem
THE EMBLEM
The Emblem of the Muslim Assembly (Cape) represents the
Ka’bah surrounded by six bundles of five sticks each. The Ka’bah is a symbol
of Unity of Allah Almighty and a monument of the brotherhood of Muslims
all over the globe. Referred to in the Holy Qur’an as “My House”, The Ka’bah
is a source of inspiration not only to those who gather there annually,
but also to each and every Muslim in his / her daily offering of the salah
and because of his / her personal relationship to The Creator.
The six bundles represent the six articles of Faith (Arkans
of Iman) and the five sticks represent the five pillars of Islam (Arkans
of Islam). Each and every aspect of Islam is symbolised on the Emblem,
the Ka’bah representing the unity and solidarity of the Muslim Nation,
bound by its faith in One True Creator; the bundles of sticks are a reminder
of the Basic Declarations of Belief in the Deen of Islam.
