Petition to give voting rights to congregation so they can elect trustee at Abu Bakr Masjid Southall. Everyone has the right to become a trustee from grassroots by nomination by the mausaliees.

Name a few alternatives? Sorry old man this isn't how it works. We shouldn't support nepotism - cast the net wider than your phone book.

People can put their names into the hat, present their profiles to the public and we vote for them.

 

As a suggestion, since its 2020, try having these groups better represented:

* Black People - the somali community for example is huge, but they can't understand Urdu which is mostly spoken by the imams and staff.

* Reverts -  they need a support network

* People under the age of 50 (seriously!) - all the Trustees are grandfathers

* Women! Every southall masjid needs to do more for women. How can you fulfil their needs if there is no representative or voice??
