In the Name
of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Role of our
Masjids, Imams and managing committees

Please be informed that
it is not
mention in the Quran or authentic Hadith about so-called 124,000
Prophets sent by Allah. These are self-invented over research by some
vested interests. We can never say that Mahavir, Rama, Zoraster,
Krishna, Budha etc. preaching different school of thoughts contrary to
Islam are also prophets and their revelations are also Holy. Just read
Holy Quran and its translation and everything will be clear. Don't be
misguided please. Our Ajmi Muslims lack Arabic and the Quraanic
knowledge and they read Quran without understanding through Tilawath,
Qirath and Hifz though Quran was bestowed by Allah as a way of life for
humanity (5:3). Therefore we should all read translation of Quran in
our own language to understand and practice Allah's message and
directives to mankind to avoid any misguidance and deviations. In
Madrassas also reading of translation of Quran should be allowed to
make the students understand the directives of Allah on various aspects
of life so that they become fully equipped with the Quraanic knowledge.
But due to religious
domination of
Mullahs/ Imams over us like priests/Bishops in Christianity, they
speak more on Hadiths, tales, stories, traditions and sayings
(authentic or weak) to prolong their Khitabs/speech rather than guiding
the Ajmi Muslims to follow strictly all the Quraanic directives to put
them on the right path of Islam. Due to lack of the Quraanic knowledge
and misguidance by the Taghoots, we are going astray from the right
path of Allah and indulging in various forms of deviations, Shirk,
Bidah, falsehood, sins and evils, Un-Islamic Customs and practices,
religious groupings and parties, sectarianism, Maslak and Fiqah
differences, Pirs, Faqirs, Babas, Aamils, and their Tawaiz, Ganday and
special prayers on payments, Near worship of graves of saints and
asking for Duaas instead to Allah etc. The Imams deliberately avoid to
preach the Quraanic directives on various aspects of our lives like
marriages; family disputes; separation; mediations; divorce procedure
according to the Quran; inheritance matters; child care; foster care;
respect to parents; love the relatives instead of grudge; avoiding
falsehood, dishonesty, enmity, extremism, hatred, bad behavior and bad
character, proudness etc.; Un Islamic customs and practices, Shirk and
Bidah; Near grave worship of dead saints and asking for DUA
instead of Allah; Pirs, Babas, Aamils, and their money earning tactics
by exploiting Islam etc.
For fund raising, the
professional
Mullahs exploit Islam and play with the religious sentiments of Muslims
and indulge in pressure tactics to grab and empty the pockets of
innocent Muslims by falsely promising Jannah and they also remove women
jewelry in the name of Allah for building of more and more Masjids and
their continuous unnecessary improvements/decorations etc. All these
Masjids are solely controlled by the vested groups in which the donors
have no say at all. Due to the mismanagements/irregularities in such
Masjids, some 23 court cases are pending in the court of law bringing
bad name to Islam. We have already seen the headline news in Toronto
Star dated 20-JAN-2011 about bungling amount to $ 600,000 in ISNA
Masjid, Mississauga, ON. This is how the public money/donations made in
the name of Allah are misspent. This big amount should have been spent
on social and community service like helping the poor and needy,
providing wheel chairs, sticks, bathroom accessories etc., to disabled
people, helping needy people for eye treatment and goggles, maintaining
a Nursing Home for extremely sick Muslims, running food banks, dental
treatment for deserving people, arranging matches and marriages at
economical systems, mediations in family disputes and inheritance
matters, visiting and consoling the sick and the bereaved people,
providing advice and Fatwa to needy people, building a full-fledged
Funeral Home for Muslims etc.
In Islam there is no
middleman
(priest/Mullah/Imam/Aalim) between human and God. Every human being is
directly accountable to Allah for his deeds and misdeeds as Allah alone
is responsible for the creation of human beings, their welfare and
their deaths. Therefore we should avoid all misguidance by the Taghoots
and Satanic influence and deviations from the Quran and its
teachings/directives. The donors should be very careful and ensure that
their money is properly spent and that regular elections of the Masjid
Committees are held every three years in front of the Namaziz and also
new blood be chosen from the Namaziz to put an end to the vested
interests occupying the Masjids. Thanks.
Revive our Masjids in
the light of the Quraan (True Book of Guidance for the Mankind)

Al-Quraan, the Miracle of Miracles and free from contradictions and
errors
