The origins of the Osman family in Mauritius

The Osman family holds its name from Mahomed Osman, the only son of Tejally, who came to Mauritius as an indentured labourer, from the District of Ghazipore (now called Ghazipur), Uttar Pradesh, India, in February 1879. Mahomed was only 3 years old, and from there, he went to school, worked as a Timekeeper on a sugar estate, and got married four times to finally create that huge Osman family which is still rooted in Mauritius but whose members are scattered all over the world, from the USA to Australia.

Mosquée Bait-ul-Muqaddas : Ayoub et Amin Osman parmi les fondateurs

C'est un fait connu parmi les fidèles des années 80 et 90 de la mosquée Bait-ul-Muqaddas, à Beau Bassin (Ile Maurice) : Ayoub Mahomed Osman et Abdool Amin Osman sont parmi les fondateurs de la mosquée de la rue Barkly. L'hebdomadaire musulman mauricien Star le mentionne dans un papier sur la mosquée le 5 janvier 2018.
 

Nous reproduisons le paragraphe où les noms des deux frères Osman sont mentionnés :

"Nous sommes alors dans les années 70. C’étaient Hajee Hosman Mohung,  Haroon  Mohung, Wahab Mohung, Ayoob Osman, Amine Osman, Ayoob Peerally, Abdool Rahim Nooraully, Swadeck Nooraully, Hasssam Nanhuck, Saïd Buxoo, H. Goomany et autres, qui furent les premiers à mettre leur projet à exécution. Les initiateurs du projet ont procédé à une collecte à travers le pays pour récolter les fonds nécessaires  pour la construction de la masjid."

    Abdool Amin Osman took 4 months' leave from the Ministry of Agriculture (where he was working) to supervise on a full-time basis the construction of the building which was designed by Structural Engineer Ismael Limbada. Abdool Amin worked under the Civil Engineer of Limbada's office. The whole construction took just less than 4 months!
