Assignment for Tues, Nov 3. Revision
Practical Proposal
The Islamic Society of Greater Houston is the largest Islamic community in the United States. It heads your local masjid and seventeen other masjids to some other two hundred fifty thousand resident Muslims in Houston. Your society is Democratic, it is a open and accountable charitable religious organization managed by a Board of Directors that is elected by you the Muslim members in the greater Houston area. You masjid has local representation through self-managed Councils in each Center. At the center of it is the board or the shura, which is head by a president, vice-president, treasure and several representatives of certain areas of Greater Houston elected by you. As you may know the Islamic Society of Greater Houston has been up and running for many years. However over those years the societies ability to attain equal representation to each masjids community has slowly dwindled. Now one zone director has to be able to reflect the ideal and concerns of his area masjids, even when each masjid has different concerns and issues. Even then the representatives may reflect their concerns and ideals to the council even without consulting their local masjids. That also means your issues may not be addressed because your area representative put his local masjid first. The heavy responsibilities that have been put on the officials has brought out the worse in policics, it has promoted behavior that goes against even one of their main objectives “to present an Islamic point of view”. Slowly turing Islamic point of view in to their point of view. It is time for a change in your Islamic Society of Greater Houston, it is time to decentralize the organization so that it can better achieve its goals and satisfy the communities needs and demands.
