Ask the board of MUSLIM COMMUNITY CENTER OF NEW YORK CITY, INC. 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. Given the record above, a kind, clear request from members matters now.

Subject
Request to the board: an independent audit of MUSLIM COMMUNITY CENTER OF NEW YORK CITY, INC.
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah, I'm writing as a member of the MUSLIM COMMUNITY CENTER OF NEW YORK CITY, INC. community, and first, thank you for the time and effort the board gives to the masjid. I'd like to ask the board to consider an independent audit of the masjid by Ihsan Standard. It looks at the finances as a whole (donations coming in, how they're spent, how cash and zakat are handled), at governance and whether we're following our own bylaws, and at the property records. It's done under a mutual NDA and it isn't about blaming anyone. The point is to give the community confidence that everything is in order. I also saw that the public records for 5218 3 Avenue, Brooklyn, NY show it was included in the city's final tax lien sale (https://propertyinformationportal.nyc.gov/parcels/parcel/3008050049). It may well be resolved already, but it would put a lot of minds at rest to hear that from the board. The masjid is an amānah the board carries for all of us, and an audit is one of the clearest ways to honour that trust. More about how it works: https://ihsanstandard.org/audit JazakAllahu khayran,
