Looking at my state of iman, i know damn well i cant, and dont deserve, to take this step.
Yes, i was shocked to hear the request. What is this, ya Allah? A salvation, an opportunity, a reason for me to work harder to fix myself? Or something i should avoid to not satisfy my greedy, selfish, and hypocritical side? What do You want me to do???
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde you are, ey?
But.. im reminded of 'whoever helps a servant of Allah, Allah will surely help him'.. and Rasulullah never declined a request, did he?
But this is not some personal matter! This is about serving the community! You should know better, dear self, coz you yourself have learnt what the attributes of a Muslim leader are.

What was the request? Were you requested to be an Imam or Nun?
Do Muslims have nuns?
Hi Anonymous!
The request was to apply to serve in a mosque management board. Whoever is in a MMB shoulders an important task: as a think tank, as a role model, as a voice and an arm to bring our Muslim community closer to living meaningfully. To uplift the socio-spiritual self.
Muslims do not have nuns. Muslim women marry, have children, study, work, volunteer, socialise.. participating actively in life's affairs is part of practising our religion.
Hi there,
i'm just curious to know, what do you get or gain from blogging? It's a bit dangerous letting strangers know about your life isn't it?
