Salam, we will endeavor to do that insha Allah.
Well done for all the efforts been put. A quick note. Endeavour to capture names of Attendees, no matter how few in the Minutes of Meeting Template provided. Very helpful template. Nice shots too. Thanks.
These photos help me better understand the serious attention that some of the community stakeholders are giving to this effort.
Thanks!
Here is the report we got from the focus group discussion that was conducted

Masha Allah, I'm impressed with the way we are making progress,
Thanks to shura family.
Since the Masjid has been registered with Coporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria and also has a bank account where it saves all donations. This is an opportunity for the the Masjid to explore the possibility of... (Read More)
Of course br Muslim, that is the idea.
That means we can incorporate the idea raised by Bro Adam and argument by Bro Suleiman about Digital Fundraising. That is designing a website that will seamlessly provide a User Interface with the Waqf System as a frontend with the Masjid Bank Account as the backend.
The FGD schedule:
1. Masjid Committee yaumul sabt 29 jumadal Ula 1441 by 11am
2. Youths FGD same day by 4pm
3. Women FGD tomorrow 30 jumadal Ula 1441 by 10am.
May Allah guide us through.
I agree with you brother Muslim, I think we're getting more understanding every day, as we are making room for more participation in the Shura.
Amin.
Real progress starts from a better understanding.
salam, the attached is a copy of the letter sent to the masjid committee. this is to guide them on the FGD participation.
Salam, br. Jammal please any update from the masjid committee about the intended FGD. ?
the masjid committee should constantly update the wealthy community members that they have a lot to offer in terms of their influence and contribution towards achieving the set goal of this shura.
However, the... (Read More)
in order to make any shura effective, there is need for all participants to possess some qualities that will make their participation valid and worthy.
I think the criteria you have described will inform potential participants that they should take their involvement seriously. Thanks for putting this in writing because it can serve as an easy reminder for all of us as we introduce others to any shura.

Salam, noted Br Muslim
A welcome development, that will bring an ease of transaction to the fundraising and a greater reach. I will recommend for the team to work with Br Abdul Latheef, he is quite competent.
Salam, all the site i visited and reviewed are locally br Sulieiman. the international communities are just a reference to use so as to make our target better.
Salam, I highly recommend your effort but we need to really define our target. If the international community is part of our target, i suggest we apply other methods like researching... (Read More)

Noted and looking forward for the meeting
Seen. Weldone.
salam thanks for your comment br muslim, to come up with sound discussion, we are intending to involve following sement of the community in the dicuss phase of the shura:
masjid committee, youths and women respectively. they are going to be engaged in Focus Group Discussions.
salam, engaging the youths is a good idea but just like bro muslim said, having them as an organisation will be more formal. the youths can visit any office or other organisations with confidence.
presently, the masjid is rising funds through collection of offerings by youths working with the masjid as aid group and they are also engaged in providing security, traffic control and other emergencies which... (Read More)
Nice suggestion, but let us see the successful completion of the Project. About the fundraising, it will be better if the youth have an organisation.
salam, in oder to make our participants in clear view of the Focus Group Discussions i have come up with an overview of the FGD.please make your observations/recommendations.
thanks ma'a salam.
I think the document is well-suited for what is needed to begin working with the stakeholders. I'm looking forward to learning how things go.
salam, as we have agreed to use Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with our target audience, it is important we adopt a sound guidelines for a smooth conduct.

Assalamu'alaikum, the guidelines is well explained.
Thanks for the guidelines Br Jamal. As we ask them for their possible means of generating funds, we should also sell our idea of waqf and any other possibility of generating fund we... (Read More)

The focus group Discussions composition should include the following segment of the community members:

3. women
each of these target group will express their veiws and we will get verse options of information to use in our 'Decide phase'
I apologize for sending the earlier reply as I was signed in as my daughter. Here is my response:
Please be sure to provide ShuraForAll training to at least one representative from each... (Read More)
Salam, Br khalil got my point exactly. We can think big but start small. A direct approach to waqf may prove difficult.
salam, let's hope and pray our community members will accept the waqaf. in my own opinoin i belief its workable with clear and conviencing approach. i suggest brother Adamu to make a... (Read More)
Creating a direct link to a page with minimal information to get the transactions processed in record time. This is extremely effective because most people have a mobile device, it is the fastest and most user... (Read More)
that's a great idea br Adamu, can you give us details on how we can create the degital fund raiser? including cost implications and possible expected outcome.
Assalamu'alaikum, brothers in Islam please read my attached file about my views on Waqf.
I share the same fear with you Br Adam but at the same point we can't overlook the waqf and it's advantages. We are already in preparation to have a round table discussion with the... (Read More)
It seems it is likely that we can combine both viewpoints, as it might be a matter of order or sequence of action steps.
For example, Br Adamu appears to suggest to distribute an appeal... (Read More)

If Shura brings awareness to the communities, then Waqf brings relief. What an excellent background knowledge of Islamic Investment Techniques at the disposal of the Ummah.
This is what... (Read More)
Setting up a waqf is recommended because it is designed for widespread participation and allows for gifting to it in a variety of forms which include:
Great idea. That means the Waqf can be designed to be used for future projects. For example, under the theme 'Lifetime Investment for Endless Reward', we have 'Building Borehole' or... (Read More)
The waqf can be achieved working with the earning members of the community.
Since we define it as our problem, we should be able to contribute in all way possible, not with standing we should also crave the indulgence of other bodies like some NGOs and government to facilitate our mandate
I think this would be the topic of our discussion during the meeting.
I agree with your idea, and I think is better to start with the most influencial member the community down to other group.
I agree with your idea, and I think is better to start with the most influencial member the community down to other group.
Salam, here are my few ideas that we should table out during the focus group discussion. You can add yours as well
1. Have a better understanding on how the construction of the present masjid came to place (... (Read More)
Alright. Insha Allah we will work on that
Agreed. As the shura progresses and the information you mentioned becomes clear, please be sure to add it to the shura for clear and more complete documentation purposes.
Fund raising committee will be in charge of designing strategies and actions directed towards achieving the set goal within and outside the community.
Conducting a focus group discussion with the elites of the community.
Noted,
Request from the Chairman 3 members who are tech-savvy. Better still, if the Secretary of the Masjid is among the 3.
Start with small committed key participants and then grow as need be.
Yes they will, we are going to select the youths within and outside the community to participate starting with few number. They will be trained by us.
As this shura develops over time, will the non-elites participate in it? If so, how do you plan to accomplish this?
These elites or stakeholders are most decision makers in the community when it come to issues Of The masjid for example.
They are small group of powerful people in the community, they are powerful and influential either because of the amount of wealth they gathered, skilled or educational background.
What is the criteria for determining who is an elite?
That's a great idea, can we have a list please
