Abadin Tadia Tjoessoep (3 July 1626 – 23 May 1699[3]), more commonly known as Sheikh Yusuf or Sheik Joseph, was an Indonesian Muslim of noble Makassar descent.

[7][8][9] During this period the Dutch and British East India Companies were fighting for control of the region due to its lucrative trade in spices and gold.

Yusuf stayed in Bantam for 16 years until 1680, when Ageng's son, Pangeran Hajji, rose against his father, possibly at the urgings of the Dutch East India Company.

Yusuf, along with 49 followers including two wives, two concubines and twelve children,[11] was received in the Cape on 2 April 1694 by governor Simon van der Stel.

To honour Sheikh Yusuf, a shrine was erected over his grave in Cape Town and to this day Muslims in the area visit it to pay their respects.
