Aww. It is with great sadness that news is received (and verified) that Maulana Ouwais Data is being relieved of his duties as Imam of Jamea' h Masjid e Noor, effective 15th Jan 2015. The reason given being "financial constraints".
Whilst Maulana has only been Imam for almost 2 years, he is considered with fondness by many to be "one of our very own". For those who have lived in Old Trafford for long will know that Maulana has been brought up in the midst of our community from a young age and will have seen him grow up before our very own eyes.
Maulana has made tireless effort through his varied and enriching programmes and has connected/ reconnected so many people to the Masjid and Deen from both the local and wider community. As a close friend, I know the love, affection and worry Maulana has for our community is unflinching and his dedication for this cause cannot be questioned.
Maulana's late father (Qari Saheb Saeed Data - may Allah grant him the highest status in Jannatul Firdaus) gave many years of unrelenting service to the masjid before he passed on and Maulana has done well to follow in his footsteps.
Maulana has been the much needed oxygen and breath of fresh air our suffocated community has been deprived of for so long. I feel the decision to remove him will set the community and Masjid back so many years and undo all the good work that has been done. It is shameful that one of the biggest Jamea'h Masjids in Manchester, that has the largest and diverse range of Musallis, will be deprived of a young, motivated, inspirational and an English speaking Imam!
Whilst there is Wisdom behind everything that Allah does and unquestionably He is the Best of Planners, one must not remain silent when an injustice unfolds. With this, I humbly request the community to provide support to Maulana and his family in any which way you can (his number is 07796 129377).
Removing Imams every 2-3 years consistently indicates that the committee is not thinking about our longer term needs. This is in fact the first Imam we have had in many years who actually wants to stay!
Concerned individuals are humbly requested to make their feelings known to the Masjid executive committee in a POLITE manner that their decision to remove Maulana is misjudged (as it does not represent the views of the silent majority of the community) and that Maulana is retained. You can either do this in person at the office and request to speak to the Chairman (Mr Abu Bakr Chunara) or Secretary (Mr Abdul Hamid Chunara) or via the following means...

Masjids should not have politics involved. Committee should purely serve the community & all decisions should reflect this. All I say, fear Allah. Allah swt knows everything, what's in your hearts & the real reason. Remember that day, when you will have to stand in front of Allah swt, then what will you say...Do taubah & change the decisions.
absolutely unbelievable action using finance to get rid of an imam that is the best ever at masjid noor of old trafford. We want him back,
The community masjid needs a much needed flow of young blood running through it. the current masjid is run by the older generation for their needs. The maulana brought with him simple yet effective change that started to make a difference.
Ml Ouwais needs to return as a imam of masjid-e-noor. He knows what is happening and is thinking 10 years ahead of the time. As far as I am aware, he has started classes and programmes which have never taken place before. Also bearing in mind that Jumuah salat is taking place at colleges & universitys because of his efforts. jzk
This is wrong on all levels. Having such a person like moulana helping the community bringing youth into the masjid, wanting the best for our community and children. To get rid of him is totally wrong on all level. Consistency is key to helping the community and being a pillar of our mosque.
The committee is full of it, they kick imams out like its joke!! They need to change the name to masjid-e-chunara!! The mosque will be empty with the way things are going. We either need new committee members or they need to get their Acts right and stop thinking about their own Financial profiting. They pocket all the money buy or decorate their own homes and cars, Yet they say they care about the Muslim community and they Want to see youngsters coming to masjid-e-Chunara and they betray their own.
It's funny how over the years moulanas and muftis have been kicked out without their knowledge! The committee is only worried about their own financial statuses and how big their balances are to fund their own life styles!! It's shocking how they try be so good Muslims and caring for the community my arse!! We need A new comitee in the mosque if not this mosque will be empty by time you know it, In Sha Allah it don't but if this keeps going on it will defo be closed

The people responsible for this decision have proved they are more concerned about their own who's rather than what is best for the community. For the first time we actually had an imam who made a mark on our community through his selfless efforts not only within the masjid but also outside of it.
