Ihsan Standard · Concern reports

When something isn’t right, tell us. We’ll work on it.

Anyone can report a concern about a mosque or Muslim nonprofit in the areas the Ihsan Standard covers: finances, governance and bylaws, transparency, property, services, the treatment of staff and volunteers, and how money is banked and spent. We review every report. Where it’s in our domain, our experts contact the organisation and work with it toward a resolution, and we keep a record of every case and its outcome.

Report a concern

Alongside the law, not instead of it

Ihsan Standard is an independent, non-governmental body. We have no legal powers, we don’t investigate crimes, and nothing we do replaces the courts, the police, a state attorney general, or an organisation’s own bylaws and members.

  • Someone in danger, abuse, or a child at risk: call 911 or your local child or adult protective services first.
  • Theft, fraud or misuse of charitable funds: you can report to your state attorney general’s charities office, and to the IRS (Form 13909) for tax-exempt organisations.
  • We may tell you a concern is outside our domain and point you to the right body.

How a report is handled

  1. Step 1

    You report

    Sign in, pick the organisation and the area of concern, and tell us what happened. Your identity stays with us; we only share it with the organisation if you say we can.

  2. Step 2

    We review

    A reviewer reads every report, checks public records where they exist, and decides whether it's in our domain. If it isn't, we say so and point you elsewhere.

  3. Step 3

    We reach out

    We try to reach the organisation privately, without naming you, hear its side, and offer practical help: bylaws, elections, financial controls, and a full audit under NDA.

  4. Step 4

    We record the outcome

    Resolved, working with us, or no response. You can follow your case with a private link.

Fair to everyone

  • What a reporter tells us is never published. The ledger shows only a short, neutral summary we write.
  • Concern reports are in beta. Cases and outcomes are kept internally and are not published.
  • An organisation can reply on the record at any time by writing to standards@ihsanstandard.org.

Areas we look at: Finances & donations · Governance, bylaws & elections · Transparency to the community · Property, taxes & legal standing · Services & community standards · Treatment of staff, imams & volunteers · Banking, suppliers & investments · Safeguarding & conduct.
