Bismillah
As-salaamu alaiakum dear Brothers and Sisters,
After long reflection, consultation, and istikharah to ask Allah (SWT) for guidance on this murky issue and flaming fitnah, I decided to submit my resignation, effective immediately.
Over the past several months, in private and in public, I have stated my position on this entire saga that divided our community. In a nutshell, I have highlighted the following points:
1) There is enough blame to go around: While the majority opted to remain silent, some vocal brothers and sisters have biasely sided with one party or another (often adding more fuel to the fire), and the remaining few chose to objectively focus their eyes on the big picture- saving our community and masjid. [in that priority]
2) The viable way to reach that end seemed either to exclude all the founding board members (as their differences seemed irreconcilable) or to co-opt all of them to become part of an expanded board
I accepted the nomination to the AIW board do whatever in my capacity to help our community mend its fences, and help the healing process to start so that we welcome Ramadan with clean hearts and sense of community.
At this stage, I am convinced that item # 2 is too fare-fetched, if not impossible. Wa-Allahu a'alam.
Wishing you the very best,
Your brother in Islam,

"I am convinced that item # 2 is too fare-fetched"
ReplyDeleteIs that all you are going to say, Arman? Why not tell it the way it is? Why dance around the issues?
This resignation is long overdue. All hand-picked "new BOD" members have and will never have any legitimacy, and they should all should follow suit. They must choose between either an NICC that has full community suport or Hany Saqr.
ReplyDeleteI think many people accepted their positions knowing they were illegitimate, but thinking they could use the positions to oust Hany in the sense that he would have full power of the board without them there. However, they realized it is the same WITH them there. So, naturally, they are leaving one by one.
