Omang? - Cape Muslim Wedding

The Effendi family of Cape Town has played an active part in the Cape Muslim community since the arrival of their first ancestor to the Cape from Turkey. We follow the extended family as they prepare the bride and groom for their special wedding. Produced and directed by Bjorn Rudner for the Media Peace Centre and funded by the NLDF.

Our prayers and supplications for our brothers and sisters in blood and faith in South Africa..May Allah take a good care of you people over there..Salam from Malaysia and Indonesia

Terima kasih banyak!!!

We may be thousands mile apart, but from what I see, there are a lot of similarities with Malay wedding here in Malaysia i.e Nikah session, dowry discussion, gifts for both sides (hantaran perkahwinan), the reception especially the door gift, the makan beradap, the pelamin are all the same (of course the Malays in Malaysia also adopt some cultures from the Indians too). Kudos to the Malays in Cape Town for retaining and keeping the traditional Malay culture. Would love to visit Cape Town one day. My wish for the couple is to learn to tolerate one another and to never neglect the power of communication. Till jannah for both of you

This is so interesting . As someone born and raised in Cape Town I always knew of the Malay and Indonesian roots of Cape Town but hadn't really knew about the Turkish connection. I suppose Cape Town really is a little bit of everything .

Adat melayu ketika wedding dan agama Islam masih teguh alhamdulillah walaupun tk ramai orang malay cape tahu bahasa melayu

The lady who makes the modern head gear for brides mentioned that in Cape Town, the girls won't go to a function without a scarf but in Johannesburg, the girls go to weddings without covering their hair. The lady herself is not wearing her scarf properly and the head gear she made is a tiny little decoration for the head... What is the purpose? The girls at this wedding wore scarves to cover some of their hair. Their necks are bare and so much hair hanging out of the scarf....at the back and front. Just as well, they did not wear scarf at all. What is the purpose of the scarf in Cape Town then? This is a misconception about hijaab. Anyway, hijaab is not just the covering of the head. My point is half a scarf is not better than no scarf. Also, a scarf on the head with tight jeans and short tops is also Not Hijaab. I also noticed on my visits to Capetown that some women wear short knee length skirts with their heads covered. Please ladies.... Cover your legs also! I really enjoyed the video. Thanks

So true..very hipocritical and judgemental. She shouldn't judge others, because how they wear their scarf is not right either.

[@AS-ug9bt]

Maybe by your standards the lady is not wearing her scarf 'correctly', but I'm sure Islam does not encourage either you or her to judge other's adherence to your respective standards. I'm a non-Muslim Capetonian, and have also noticed this habit of wearing short skirts with head covering. I mentioned this to an observant Muslim friend born in Bo-Kaap, who wears hijaab. She smiled and said gently, "we must never judge".

Very beautiful culture. And, very beautiful people.

this malay is come far from south east asia,, maybe malaysia or indonesia

[@hafizhassanovic1899]

They are Malay exiles during Dutch occupation in Sumatra (nowadays part of Indonesia), then mixed marriage with Muslims of Subcontinents (Pakistan/India) Arabs and Africans, hence their cultures mixed already, but still some Malay words and cultures still part of Malay Cape language and cultures.

Yes, we are Muslim. We are Mixed Indian, Dutch, and English.

[@nadiachoonara3613]

Stop talking about jhb girls not wearing hijab when your cape town girls are wearing bandanas... With all their hair sticking out, you best believe that that is simply NOT HIJAB.
