The Nizamiye Complex () has several institutions besides the mosque and serves as a community centre with its several halls and facilities.
The mosque Construction on the mosque began in October 2009 and was completed in 2012. The basic plan of the mosque was adopted from the 16th-century
Ottoman Selimiye Mosque. This mosque, located in
Edirne,
Turkey, was designed by
Mimar Sinan. Nizamiye Masjid was scaled to the Selimiye Mosque by a ratio of 80%. The plans for the mosque were designed in Turkey and adapted by a South African architect to South African building standards. The school's curriculum offers Islamic studies which are incorporated in the South African secular education syllabus. The classes are given in English but Arabic and Turkish are also taught. The school is open to the general public, but advises that scholars observe Islam due to its curriculum. A renowned educator, Isakh Turan, has been appointed as the school's principal.
Market The
bazaar section of the complex has 11 shops, whose revenue is used in part for expenses of the mosque. The remains of Mehmet Remzi Efendi (a decorated
Ottoman Turkish diplomat appointed to the Ottoman Embassy in South Africa in April 1914 and died under British arrest in 1916) was moved to the cemetery and became the first person to be buried there. == Gallery ==
