Muhammad Hassan Musa Khan (b. 30 May 1863, Karachi) was one of the early Muslim cameleers in Australia. Born in the Mohmand tribe of Pashtun origin in Sindh, he was a nephew of Morad Khan, who was an early supplier of camels to Australia. Khan attended the Karachi and Bombay universities during the 1880s. He was a schoolteacher in India in 1890, and arrived in Australia in 1896. He is most notable for being appointed as an arbitrator in a complex 1899 court case, involving camel importation to Western Australia (West Australian 22 Apr 1899, p.3). Khan may have brought his wife to Australia from India, according to a birth notice for his daughter, born at 'Nurse Baseby's, King St in Coolgardie (West Australian 1 June 1899, p.4). He was fluent in several languages including English, Pushto, Urdu, Persian, Sindhi, as well as some Arabic. For some time, he was a bookseller in Perth between 1904-1906. In 1904, he also founded the Perth Mosque and later served as its treasurer in 1906 as well as secretary of the mosque. Khan was a representative of the 'camel men' at various official events. He also wrote against racism and was author of the book The History of Islamism in Australia from 1863-1932 (Musakhan 1932; Schinasi 1980, p. 23; Rajkowski 1987, p. 86; Loois 1988; Stevens 1989). His books were donated to the Battye Library, Perth.[1] He is known to have resided in Kalgoorlie in 1921 and in Adelaide in 1932. He travelled to Delhi, India between 1911-1914. Publications
