WASALAM ALIKUM Dear Board Members:
We noticed a new installed carpet in Bainbridge Masjid after the Pensacola Masjid. We heard this during the body meeting we thought it was a joke. The question we have is why the carpet was installed in the Bainbridge Masjid? The carpet in the Bainbridge Masjid was in more than decent condition. We contribute to the maintenance fund, Zakat and SADAKA and we would like to know the exact number donated from the family who suggested this wasteful replacement of the carpet and how much this cost us. It is unreasonable to see you fixing things which are not broken, while we have broken windows in class rooms, poor ventilations, and disgusting bathrooms.
Last but not least, this change conflicts with everything we heard during the body meeting. Aren’t we either renovating or rebuilding this Masjid? Isn’t this why we are putting up with the poor conditions in the Masjid, why are we spending money on it now? Someone has to make this clear to the community, please.
May Allah make us amongst those who are working for his sake and not the wasteful?
Sincerely,
Community

The volume of support shows the board that our questions regarding the maintenance fund require a formal response. I am currently drafting a letter to request an itemized account of recent expenditures for the Bainbridge site.

Some of the board members when confronted about the budget get very defensive and act very shady . There needs to be transparency about where our donations go , having this mosque is as important if not more than , as having a house . Something needs to be done ASAP
Since we are constructing new masjid in Bainbridge and I think It is a waste of community money installing carpet in big masjid since the carpet was in good condition and we can not reuse the new carpet in new masjid.
We said it before will say it again.
I agree 100% make sense this is reckless acts
of course we heard at least two brothers asking the questions and one sister sent a paper that was ignored but there was no substance in the boards answer. The Imam was not agreeing to replacing the carpet, WA Allah Alam
I agree with you
yes me too. it feels liberating. they shut us down when we ask questions like we are working for them SubhanAllah

Last time in the General Body meeting we were told that the full money for the carpet of the big masjid was given by a brother alone. Even if this is true, it does not make any sense to go for a new carpet provided that we are looking forward to re-construct the masjid very soon InshaAllah. May Allah give all of us Hidayah
