Efforts were made to erect a Masjid and Madrasah on Queen Street, Pretoria. Initially, a tin structure was erected, which was replaced by a magnificent brick structure in 1928, dubbed the "hidden beauty of Pretoria."

The Pretoria Islamic Society was established in Marabastad.

Muḥtaram Muhammad Akoojee Dockrat opened a Madrasah behind his shop in Mayville on Paul Kruger Street. The Madrasah was later transferred to Gezina, at the residence of Ismail Hassen, where it existed until 1933.

A former hotel on the very fringe of Pretoria-North, known as Zeeland, was hired. A school, madrasah, and hostel were immediately established there. The Institute also served as a focal point for cultural, social, sporting, and political activities, attracting many foreign Indian visitors and scholars.

Muḥtaram Ismail Dockrat donated his property to restart the Pretoria-North Muslim Hostel, Social Club, and School. By 1939, the school was operating efficiently as the "Pretoria-North Indian and Coloured School." Mawlānā Ismail Bukharia was the first qualified ʿĀlim to be employed at the Institute, succeeded by Ustādh Muqaddam Kardami.

1949 - Mawlānā Ahmed Garda was appointed principal in October 1949.

The Institute was forced to close its doors due to the Group Areas Act, with its property expropriated in 1967 with negligible compensation. The Muslim community was resettled in Laudium between 1958 and 1962.

The Madrasah Miftahul Uloom was inaugurated at the Jacaranda Primary School, serving around 200 students. The first three teachers were Mawlānā Ahmed Garda (principal), Muḥtaram Goolam Hussain Abed, and Muḥtaram Goolam Ebrahim. The Madrasah moved to its new permanent building at the Darus Salaam Islamic Centre in 1991.

The Pretoria-North Muslim Zakaat and Charity Fund (MZF) was formed to discharge Zakāh obligations and other community charities under the supervision of the ʿUlamā'. This fund supports various community projects in Malawi, Mabopane and Mamelodi, offering scholarships and religious studies assistance.

PNMEI moved its operations to 359 Mink Street, constructing a Jamāt Khānah and Imām's quarters. The Institute continued to perform all Șalawāt, including Jumu’ah and Tarāwīḥ, until the end of 1993, when activities were transferred to the Darus Salaam Islamic Centre. Construction of Masjidus Salaam began in 1998, and its inauguration in September 2001 brought PNMEI's aspiration to fruition.

The Pretoria Muslim Pre-Primary School (PMPPS), originally known as the Rawdatul Atfal lil-Muslimin, was founded. It is now integrated with the Pretoria Muslim School (PMS). The Namanolo Islamic Educational Trust (NIET) was also established in Malawi to address the lack of Madāris there, conducting activities from its Zomba headquarters.

Darul Uloom @ Darus Salaam, formerly known as Dārul Uloom, Laudium, was established to provide higher Islamic studies opportunities for girls in Laudium, catering to both male and female students.

The Pretoria Muslim School (PMS) opened as the first Muslim school in the Pretoria area, starting with 150 pupils and 14 staff. The school has since expanded to accommodate 720 students.

The Darus Salaam Islamic Research Centre (DSIRC) was established to expand educational objectives, inviting the late Prof. ‘Abd al-Rahman I. Doi to resuscitate the Centre for Islamic Studies at the Rand Afrikaans University, Johannesburg.

An independent research unit, complete with a library, auditorium, and publishing unit, was incorporated within the Masjidus Salaam complex based on Prof. Doi's recommendation. The Darul Uloom @ Darus Salaam granted admission to male students.

The construction of Masjidus Salaam within the new Darus Salaam complex was completed, fulfilling PNMEI's long-term aspirations.

The Mabopane Islamic Centre was established with a focus on Da’wah and education, providing facilities for prayer and Islamic instruction, catering to around 200 people. Additionally, the Odi prison is visited twice a week for Da’wah activities. Other services include providing meals and transport for madrasah-going children and solemnizing Nikāḥs (marriages).
