Every Muslim is a congregant of some mosque and as a result becomes
involved in its affairs either directly or indirectly. Since most
mosques are governed by or have a Western-orientated constitution,
this title examines its constitutionality from an Islamic
perspective and assesses its validity as a guide to administer the
affairs of a mosque. The author explains the Shariah's (Islamic
Law) guide to good mosque governance, its laws and how to implement
them. The principle of consultation (Shura) is impressed upon to be
used, without fail, in all discussions, agreements and
disagreements. The author uses practical examples from the sunnah
(practices of the Prophet Muhammad) as historical background to the
laws pertaining to mosques in Islam. In particular, an insight into
the establishment of the four great mosques in Islam is provided.
Guidance on how to appoint an Imam (religious leader), the
etiquette in a mosque, financial administration of a mosque and the
mosque as waqf (communal property) are among the issues expounded
upon, from the viewpoint of the four major schools of thought in
Islam (Madha-hib).
