mosques

First of all: What is an Imam and who should be an Imam?

• An Imām is someone who leads the 5 daily prayers (Salaah) at the mosque.
• Ideally he should be a fully-qualified Islamic scholar and a role model for his congregation.
• He should have a fixed contract with clear aims and objective which can be reviewed regularly.
• He should be on a good salary in order to be dedicated to his job as community leader.
• The Imam is accountable to the public.

Are you fed up with your Mosque? Are you tired of the constant in- fighting? Are the women being sidelined? Is there even a place for women in your Mosque? Do you understand the Friday Khutbahs? Does your Imam cater for the needs of the community? Do you wish that your Mosque did more? Is your Mosque the centre point of your life?

The Revival has come up with some ideas of how to improve our mosques and passionately argues what every mosque should do.
