The council has officially agreed to our terms and will begin the process of restructuring the leadership at our center. I am overwhelmed with gratitude that we finally secured the integrity our community deserves. We will keep a close watch to ensure these changes are implemented exactly as promised.

Petition to the North Texas Islamic Council (NTIC)
RE: Islamic Center of Irving
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
We, the undersigned members, and community members of the Islamic Center of Irving, would like to request NTIC to help Islamic Center of Irving (ICI) members address significant constitutional and moral violation by the Shura Council. As you will see these violations have led to division and mistrust in ICI community. If not addressed in a timely manner, these violations will have lasting negative impact on the welfare of ICI, the Islamic School of Irving, Irving Muslim Community and beyond. We, the members, strongly believe that to move forward, the current Shura needs to be dissolved and an interim committee is established to:
1. Restore a constitution to protect and serve ICI and its members.
2. Define membership rules to prevent election engineering.
3. Ratify the current membership as per the corrected membership rules.
4. Amend ICI Waqf bylaws to make it open and transparent.
5. Conduct free and fair elections.
6. ISI’s autonomy from ICI politics. The school board should be cooperative but not be a product of SC.
Below is list of constitutional, ethical and moral violations:
The ICI president is in violation of the constitution in place as of 2017 (4 max terms in SC).
Recruitment of members from outside Irving area to engineer the election. This has been openly claimed and accepted by a current Shura Council member.
Freezing of the constitution and removal of established best practice clauses such as term limits, conflict of interest, independent arbitrations, etc.
Constitution mandates binding arbitration. Current Shura is in violation and filed a frivolous lawsuit against respected long-term volunteers.
Constitution mandates anybody engaged in major sin disqualifies them of serving on the Shura. Current Shura is in violation since it has asked for Interest (Riba) in addition to millions of dollars in damages in the Lawsuit they’ve filed.
Asking for millions of dollars in damages including “interest” against the teaching of Quran and Sunnah.
Significant damage to Islamic School of Irving (school part of ICI) due to FERPA violations, HR violations, nepotism, and conflict of interest, etc. (lost 150 students and more than 10 staff members including senior leadership team)
Threatening of community members who spoke out against the wrong doings, and for asking rightful questions with Cease & Desist letters to silence them.
Calling police on ISI parents for raising concerns.
Calling police and removing a mussallee from the masjid for wearing a t-shirt that said “Against ICI Lawsuit and Dissolve the Shura.”
We appreciate your willingness to help protect the rights of ICI members and to help bring ICI back to a place where the congregants feel safe as they should in the House of Allah SWT.

The stories shared by families who feel iced out of their own mosque are breaking my heart but they confirm that this push for transparency is necessary. I am spending my hours gathering the evidence of these constitutional overreaches to present to the council so they cannot look away from the rot in our leadership.
November 20, 2020
The momentum behind this plea proves that I am not the only one deeply concerned about the future of our center. Seeing so many of you acknowledge these systemic failures gives me hope that we can finally restore integrity to our community.

Being a Muslim we must have at least some courtesy against other Muslim brothers but we are depicting a very bad example of our religion by filing lawsuits and showing harshness towards each other.I think instead of indulging in all these unnecessary activities we must reform ourselves so that others can admire us and we can set example of being a good Ummah.
The Shura President Hassan Hye and Shura Vice President are also neighbors of the previous Shura neighbors. If they had indeed been good neighbors and community members then they would have reached out to them directly. But rather they both resorted to sending legal notices to previous Shura members first and then filed a lawsuit of 32 Million dollars with Jail time and maximum interest in August. This Shura has been the first Shura in the history of ICI to accuse its Previous Shura and file a lawsuit. I sincerely ask NTIC leadership to look into these matters listed out by the comcerned community members.
We want honest leaders and who can think future of our next generations not to think what answer will help to continue their positions and community has to come forward for betterment and development but we are being stalled on the same place.
This is oppression and injustice. It should be stopped. People who have spent decades of their lives serving this community are being persecuted. This must stop.
Please help us dissolve the current shura in Islamic Center of Irving, they are not fit to serve Allah’s house and the community. They have their own agenda and interest. Using the Masjid platform for their personal gains. There people are openly violating Quran and Sunnah. We need to replace these people and restore ICI constitution. Jazak Allahu Khairan.
Resolve the recent problems & take the necessary steps to take free & fare re-election
Reelection and dissolved the surah.

We have been requesting for months to address the issues but our requests are on deaf ears. We have reached a dead end. Shura is disconnected on the pulse of the community.
