Sithy Zahira Cassim
(died in infancy)
From
the latter part of the 19th century, for three or four
generations, Zone 12 of Colombo, comprising Messenger
Street, New Moor Street, Grandpass, Hultsdorf and
Barber Street, and their environs had a large Muslim
concentration, with an aggregation of Muslim families, many
related or inter-related, mostly friendly if nor familiar.
It was within this environ hat Dr M C
M Kaleel was
born, on Feb 3,1899
(Friday 22 Ramadan 1316 H), a great physician, social
worker, politician and leader of the community.
Dr Kaleel
lived in a large house at No 6, Messengerr
Street, situated near the Hultsdorf
Street-Messenger Street intersection, which was then
popularly known as "Shalayankada Shandhi".
Historical
records
and legends reveal that his ancestors were from the
descendants of a shipload or Arabs who left their homes in
the Middle East, unable to bear the harsh treatment meted
out by Umayyad Caliphs. They were said to be Hashimites who
landed off the coast of Beruwela
at Barberyn in
the year 1024 AD. There is also a tradition that in the year
1410 one of Dr Kaleel's
ancestors, a theologian, was brought to Mutuwal in a
Palanquin when he agreed to be the Khateeb
(Imam) of the ols
Mosque in Mutuwal (palaya palli).
The family still possess a copy of a Qur'an handwritten by
one of his ancestors, who was
famous Calligraphist.
Dr Kaleel had
his first schooling at Hameeda
School at New Moor Street. Prior
to that he was taught to recite the Qur'an in Arabic at
home. Hameedia
School was adjacent to the Grand Mosque and managed by its
founder, I L M H Noordeen Hajiar. Kaleel
learned in Arabic and Arabic-Tamil medium and not in
English. It was only when the family moved to live in Mutuwal
in December 1909, at the age of ten, that Kaleel was
initiated into English education. He started his English
education at at a
small school run by the Baptist Mission on Elie
House Road run by Rev Silva. Later on he attended St Thomas'
College run by Warden Stone.
Kaleel's father, Cassim Lebbe Marikar, was, both, a
businessman and a Moulavi (Islamic
teacher), having qualified at the Bakiathus Salihath Madrasa, in
Vellore, South India. The Muslims of the area, including the
two officiating Katheebs of the Colombo
Grand Mosque, had requested Cassim Lebbe Marikar to accept the
position of Khatheeb of the Mosque. He
accepted the position on an Honorary capacity and was
carried to the Mosque on a Palanquin similar to how his
ancestor was feted in 1410.
