Brothers and sisters, firstly I am keeping
Brothers and sisters, firstly I am keeping
my identity hidden because I know the shura will not Not take this lightly and I am a regular at this masjid they have called the police on individuals for far less.
All praise is due to Allah the most high.
First and foremost I have been coming to this masjid for over 17 years and I have seen and dealt with the current shura for several years and man... this masjid is not in a good condition at all.
Let s give credit where credit is due even if it may seem insignificant for a masjid this size. Alhamdulilah all the utilities get paid for every month and there are 5 daily prayers every day so I cannot give it a one star, or else I would. However there is a huge problem regarding the community of this masjid being very complacent on many issues regarding the overall function of the masjid.
The biggest problem is the lack of administration this masjid has, to put it into perspective the president of the masjid comes once a week (Friday) for only a few hours.
So when somebody comes from the community asking for the administration (which is one person, the president, ) looking for zakat (which someone did today) or something we have to tell them to please return on Friday no later than this particular time or you ll miss him.
The administration has absolutely no vision for this masjid, and am speaking on behalf of my 10+ years of coming to this masjid daily.
For the past 10 years or so the community has solely been driving by the work and help of the volunteers of this masjid, from the youth camps to Ramadan iftars, to open houses, to conferences... you name it... if you can think of an event that happen at center for the past 10+ years I promise you the volunteers were behind it.
Next topic.... the funds.. where do they go?
no one at-the masjid knows where all
The money goes so many projects have had their fundraisers and we see absolutely nothing... the shura( one person the president) took years to post a financial statement and in that statement... so many absurd things were written on it that didn t add up...
There hasn t been a fundraiser for the community general speaking for two years because the community realized that donating their money is pointless because nothing comes from it.
Allah knows best what s happening at this masjid as we volunteers ,which the shura loves using against us every-time we try to hold them accountable saying things such as your just a volunteer.
A group of people pushed for a re election and to just get a general body meeting took about a year.... and we had to call a lawyer to force the shura ( again one guy) to have the election, and after all the efforts to have a reelection the same guy brings in his friends/ employees, yes you heard that right employees to vote for him while we cannot prove that they didn t pay the $100 fee, I can say with confidence that I haven t seen most of the people who voted that day at the masjid for a single day of my 10+ years of coming to this masjid daily.
And is it a coincidence that all those people were the same ethnicity or worked for the president... I think not.
Allah knows best what s going on behind the curtains of this masjid, and it will all come to light if not in this dunya than in the hereafter for sure.
This is just the tip of the iceberg my brothers and sister this masjid has a real problem... please make dua for us InshaAllah.
