ARE MOSQUES CATERING FOR OUR NEEDS?

Sajid Iqbal —

SALAAM

Yep, my favourite topic.....

but cos its serious issue i dont mind mentioning it again...and again....

so what do you think role of mosque is?
role of imam? role of committe/administration of mosque?
is mosque just for 'education and worship' or is it there to cater for the NEEDSof the muslim community?

is YOUR mosque catering for needs of the muslim community?
if not why not?

your imam catering for the community?
is committe in touch or backward?

what more do you want from your mosque/imam?

which mosques/imams that YOU know of that are a role model to other mosques/imams?

what facilities does YOUR mosque cater for women? what facilities should it cater for?

do most ppl go to thei rmosque regularly? if not why not?

pls discuss....

The mosque that i go to, to me is just a social club wear i hang out with freinds. Im the eldest in the class coz i gor evening classes and all my freinds have stop comeing and is just full of little kids. The council have'nt given permission for the mosque to do daily prayers coz the kafir scum Basterds keep compllaining to the council that theres to much noise.

COZ I'M EIGHTEEN THE IMAM SAYS I HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY COZ YOUNGER KIDS NEED SOMEONE TO LOOK UP AND BECUASE HE DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH AND NEARLY ALL THE KIDS SPEAK ENGLISH SO I HAVE TO TRANSLATE. IT ALRIGHT BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I HAVE LEARN THE QU'RAN KIDS COME AND READ TO ME AND I HAVE TO LISTEN TO THEM. AND ALL THE LITTLE KIDS ARE ANNOYING,BECUASE THEY ALWAYS ASK FOR SWEETS AND I WOULD NEVER GRASS THE KIDS UP TO THE IMAM COZ WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF BEATING UP A CHILD. IF THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY HAVE TO READ.

You need to breathe a little. What you are doing is good, but tell the Imam that you also need you time too (which chances are he will NOT understand).

Salam

Mosques and churches are there to pray in.

School is there for education.

Gym is there for muscle building.

Cinema is there for watching movies.

Everything has its own purpose.

Editor is trying to get everything into one building.

Its not going to work, nor is it wise.

You can't watch movies in a mosque !!!

God !!

I agree with you to an extent.
But seriously, these kids look up to you. Maybe it's becuase there's a smaller age gap between you and them in comparision to the Imam. But they still have respect for you.
If they are being annoying, tell them...
but have patience, kids are innocent, therefore you can't really stress out at them- it isn't fair.
They won't be crackheads or anythign stupid like that if they're influenced in the right way. And maybe you should try to be that influence.

Sorry if i said anything 'wrong' tis just my opinion...
