Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – The Masjid Should be Open to All

message should not be established just for name and fame. I've built

a masjid, but they should be established to cater for the needs

of the people. And people should not be duly restrictive as to who

can come and who can or who can study who can study. And so on.

Having a membership of a masjid of a certain group, that's completely

fine, because that's just like the walk in. There's nothing wrong

with that. As long as it's open to all and the facilities are open to

all that's what's important, because we've had in history, I

mean, one person has a machine, he runs it himself, that's completely

fine. There's nothing wrong with that. A lot of people have this

issue that Oh, only Bengalis have this. You know, they run this

Masjid. As long as they run it or good realities, or Arabs or

Egyptians or Somalis, that's completely fine as long as it's

open to all and it's made accommodating because anybody can

look after a masjid. People don't have to be on the board to look

after a masjid as long as things are going right. Right. Being on a

board is not like some kind of objective. Right? That's that's

not the point. The point is to make sure things run smoothly so

people can still volunteer in those things.
