Masjid context

Most US masjids are not required to file Form 990

Madina Masjidmay qualify under the IRS “church exemption” that relieves houses of worship from the public Form 990 filing requirement. That makes the ProPublica financial timeline here sparse by design, it is not a transparency failure. The trade-off is that masjids generally have less public transparency than 501(c)(3)s that do file 990s, so our framing for masjid pages is different:

  • 1.Independent audit is the single most important signal.Donation boxes, cash collections, and weekly khutbah envelopes mean money flows that benefit from a third-party audit. We treat a recent audit as the “Gold-tier” signal for masjids, see the Attestations & Audits section below.
  • 2.Ethical supplier stack still applies.Even without 990 filings, the masjid’s public website routes through analytics, payment, and hosting vendors, same lens we apply to every org.
  • 3.Best-practice gaps are coachable, not punitive.Most masjids don’t have access to the CRMs, accounting software, and donor-management tooling that larger 501(c)(3)s use. The Ihsan Standard engagement track is built for exactly this, a cleanup and capacity path, not a gotcha publication.

Where the money went · FY —

Form 990 Part IX (Statement of Functional Expenses) split into the four functional buckets, plus automated anomaly detection across the most-asked donor questions.

No financial anomalies surfaced

For the most recent fiscal year on file, the automated checks (fundraising-cost ratio, single-contractor concentration, reserve adequacy, officer-comp share) did not flag anything. This is the default state for most orgs and is meaningful, it means the math on Form 990 Part IX and Part VII Section B doesn’t require an explanation.

Areas where engagement could help, ethical supplier stack

1 flag detected

We detected 1 vendor on Madina Masjid's public website that appear on widely-followed Muslim-community watch lists (BDS, Project Nimbus contractors, documented content-suppression, or Uyghur-surveillance context). Per the §I “transparency over imposition” principle, we publish the facts and the cited basis, we do not adjudicate which boycotts are religiously obligatory. Each donor decides.

Path forward (no judgment, engagement-track)

Most orgs we scan don’t know which of their analytics or payment vendors appear on community watch lists, they inherited the choice from a template or an ads-manager setup. Alternatives exist for every flagged vendor (Helcim/Stax for payment, Plausible/Fathom for analytics, self-hosted PostHog for session replay).

The Ihsan Standard Supplier-Stack Audit goes further than the public-website scan above. We inventory the full vendor stack, payment processors, hosting, CRM, accounting, ad-tech, the back-office tools that don’t show up in HTML, identify ethical alternatives for each, and build a realistic transition timeline staffed against the org’s actual calendar. The audit output is a vendor-by-vendor switch plan, not a shame-list.

Paired with the Khulafāʾ al-Arḍ Stewardship Audit (environmental footprint of sites and vendors, in partnership with the Art and Wilderness Institute’s Green Masjid Initiative), this is the engagement-track ladder we offer every org. See the Attestations & Audits section above for the full set.

Method: automatic vendor detection from public website data. Watch-list basis is the documented public reason each vendor appears on community lists (BDS, Don’t Buy Into Occupation, U.S. Dept. of Commerce Entity List, etc.), not Ihsan Standard’s own editorial judgment. See the ethical-supplier rubric for the full methodology.

Compensation history

No officer-compensation data on file for this org, neither the per-officer roster (Form 990 Part VII Section A) nor the aggregate line (Part IX line 5) has been indexed by ProPublica.

Ask the board of Madina Masjid for an Ihsan audit

The masjid is an amānah, a trust the board holds for the whole community. The Ihsan Standard audit is an independent review of the masjid’s finances as a whole, its governance and adherence to its bylaws, and its property records, carried out under a mutual NDA. A short, kind request from members is often what gets it on the board’s agenda.

Subject
Madina Masjid: would the board consider an Ihsan Standard audit?
Salaam alaikum, I hope this finds you well. I wanted to raise something I think a lot of us in the community would support. Would the board be open to an Ihsan Standard audit? From what I understand it's a full review: the masjid's accounts and donation flows, zakat handling, board structure and adherence to the bylaws, and the deed and tax records. It's confidential (they sign a mutual NDA) and the first conversation and scoping are free. "Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due" (4:58). I think an independent audit would strengthen the trust people already place in the board, and make it easier for everyone to give generously. https://ihsanstandard.org/audit With thanks and duas,
