That being said there are anyway sure thing that I accept we can improve or change.
At the point when I originally moved to north Texas, the Muslim populace was not as large as it is currently and there unquestionably were relatively few Masjids. We had a couple of built up Masjids and numerous Musallas. The Muslim people group were little and extremely isolated. Today, following 20 years, we are a lot greater in number however tragically, still disengaged. We have the Arabs Muslims who spend time with Arab Muslims, Bangladeshi Muslims spending time with Bangladeshi Muslims, Pakistanis with Pakistanis, Indians with Indians, and so on )
Alongside the isolation, we have different issues, for example, the Muslims not setting off to the Masjids for customary multiple times every day supplications, financing issues, issues with the young, and so on... Why? Great inquiry. I accept a ton of it has to do with our Muslim administration and in the following barely any sections I will clarify how I accept our Muslim chiefs are making some hard memories staying aware of and dealing with the progressions affecting the Muslims in America.
The Masjid
Let us start with the Masjid, the place of Allah. Nowadays, pretty much every city in the nation can flaunt having a Masjid. A few urban communities have at least two. A great deal of exertion and cash is placed into raising a place of Allah. "So what's the issue?" you may inquire. Allow me to clarify. At the point when a network anticipates building a Masjid, it needs to design the site, the size, the pleasantries, and so on... What they pass up, I accept, is the advertising viewpoint, the venture the executives, the bookkeeping, the money, and so on... Each Masjid like some other land has the typical bills (for example water, gas, electric, lease, and so on ) which are quite normal and on schedule. In the event that you fabricate a Masjid and the participation is low aside from on Friday's and during the period of Ramadan for Taraweeh, you are basically keeping up a structure for just 78 or 79 days out of 365 (plus or minus).
A few Masjids run schools and that has its own issues. To be gruff, lion's share of the Masjids are bad at running schools. The not many that do run the schools appropriately, depend intensely on gifts from similar guardians that giving for the upkeep of the Masjid too. Get the image?
"So what's the arrangement?" you may inquire. The arrangement, as I would like to think is to quit constructing more Masjids. Indeed, you read this right, as I would like to think, there is no point opening another Masjid if the ones previously manufactured are in a difficult situation. A Masjid is worked for venerating, period. It's essential capacity isn't to be a public venue or school. We should initially ensure that the Masjids that have just been constructed are in effect appropriately kept up and a way ought to be made sense of to top off the Masjids for the day by day five petitions! When this is done, that arrangement ought to be recorded and overhauled if necessary. At the point when the Masjid is practically full to limit with respect to the five day by day supplications, the time has come to grow, not to construct a rec center or a school yet to extend the petition lobbies. This will have a great deal of advantages as you can envision. Less isolation, more open doors for Muslims of various races, social statuses, and so on to meet up and ask as one consistently and not simply on Fridays or Eids.
The Sadaqa/Zakaat
The issues I have with giving to causes outside my city, state or even my nation is that philanthropy should begin at home. I am thoughtful to the Muslims and the issues they are experiencing the world over be that as it may, we have issues of our own. There are families here in the United States of America that don't have nourishment to eat or a spot to live or garments to wear, and so forth.
Muslims who can monetarily stand to offer cash to philanthropy should, as I would like to think, first help the Muslims deprived here in their own lawns. When ALL the Muslim families in the U.S.A. are never again out of luck, we should concentrate to Muslims in different nations and give a valiant effort to help those out of luck. In the event that each Muslim people group dealt with their own, I am certain that will have a constructive outcome.
The Imam
I think Islam has been in the United States of America long enough for us to quit bringing in Imams. It ought to be our obligation as American Muslims to prep and produce American Imams. The issue with bringing in Imams is that occasionally, they accompany social stuff. They should be brought up in the city, state or even the nation they intend to work in.
We have to remunerate the home-developed Imams all around ok where they can be centered around being an Imam and not be monetarily troubled. Another issue I have seen is that the Imams in any event North America are dealt with progressively like representatives and not strict pioneers, by their individual Shura individuals. An Imam should lead the Shura, not the other route round.
The Youth
Being brought up in the United States of America can be a test for our Non-American conceived guardians. Our youngsters brought into the world here need to manage some social and social things that we, the Immigrant parent brings and brings into the lives of our kids. What we neglect to comprehend or acknowledge, as I would see it, is that our youngsters are brought into the world Muslim Americans and must be brought up as such. We, as outsider guardians of these youngsters ought to swear off attempting to force non-Islamic, social propensities on these children. Islam without anyone else's input is more than sufficiently adequate to show our childhood the great and the terrible, the privilege and an inappropriate. It will likewise make Islam increasingly worthy to the young and simpler to pursue in the event that we trim out the "social fat".
