Petition to give voting rights to congregation so they can elect trustee at Abu Bakr Masjid Southall. Everyone has the right to become a trustee from grassroots by nomination by the mausaliees.

In answer to the first comment - what you have said is irrelevant to the purpose of this petition. There is no mention about Imams so not sure why you are bring that up??

Lies and rumours can be easily mitigated by evidence. The trustees serve their own interests more than public. Currently they answer to no one while spending all of the charity money without being held accountable. I suggest that anyone reading this should think about how positive this change can be. In any masjid organisation, any position held should be temporary and handed over to people of better merit and skill.

Name few who you think are better then current 4 hard working trustees who have always taken masjid first my question is where where these people when masjid needed them during the built up 

Majority of southall community is with them 

Just handfull trying to cause fitna in masjid 

ALLAH WILL PROTECT ALL FROM THIS EVIL CULT AND FITNA 

Southall does not need divided community majority of those done petition can not show a single amount of considerable contribution in masjid where it is time commitment or financial every one here brag about money give show some proofs please dnt just yap yap

LOL the commentor is clearly one of the guys trying to keep his seat. 

This is why we need to be able to vote

Name a few alternatives? Sorry old man this isn't how it works. We shouldn't support nepotism - cast the net wider than your phone book.

People can put their names into the hat, present their profiles to the public and we vote for them.

As a suggestion, since its 2020, try having these groups better represented:

* Black People - the somali community for example is huge, but they can't understand Urdu which is mostly spoken by the imams and staff.

* Reverts -  they need a support network

* People under the age of 50 (seriously!) - all the Trustees are grandfathers

* Women! Every southall masjid needs to do more for women. How can you fulfil their needs if there is no representative or voice??

Commentator. You know the people who were trying to help the 4 trustees kicked him out for years and years did not call him or update him on matters especially the building. Are you aware of this? Most of the public want a new board of trustees.

Most of Southall community does not know what the current trustees get up to behind closed doors. Most do not know who current trustees are. Most do not know 1 of the trustees stole money from another. Most do not know that trustee spent time in Dubai jail. Most do not know why Ramadhan timetable with all the mosuqe on them when produced each year why was it stopped and who made this happen.

Most people do not know the few you talk about want this change but the 4 do not.

the mosque is a charity, every year the records are given to the government records which is public, just google, stop the fitna 

These trouble makers have no  experience in anything have had no jobs in real life and they think they can run a mosque ?  , there's massive amount of slander you have said to people have some fear in allah swt honestly this lock down made  you peopoe mentally ill 

people must know who people you are and you're hidden agenda supported by so call local business ' who push there agenda Witt their haram money

The record keeping is medieval and I'm sure not everything gets declared in order to cover up the money laundering that has been going on.

No one is allowed to see the whole story or evidence. They can hide it from the people but not ALLAH
