and the story goes......................

There is no Development Bureau at KRU Mosque. However there is Social & Welfare Bureau chaired by Major (Rtd) Haji Bostamam bin Alias @ Elias. That portfolio is quite similar to Development Bureau and his name was nominated during the Meeting on 25 January 2010 which the Protem Committee agreed. Nazir still insisted either him or the Secretary to be the Chairman. JAIS disagreed and the letter dated 04 February was issued. (see, above).

I don’t think it’s all over to the satisfaction of the Nazir & gang. Item 2 is subjective and they will insist that the New Mosque Committee is under KRU Mosque jurisdiction. They would manipulate and however maintain that the Protem Committee is/was HARAM. I am not in the least surprise they would change the portfolio of the present Chairman of KRU Mosque Social & Welfare Bureau. The Nazir had shown disrespect to the Director of MAIS and JAIS and on this issue they would act and bulldoze the same.

The point is, for as long as not the Nazir, Secretary or the Treasurer of KRU Mosque nominated by JAIS to be the Chairman of the New Mosque Development, majority of the Jemaah and the Kampong residents are more than happy. It is a win-win situation. The Nazir surely cannot take all as he must consider the sweat, pain and the obstacles the Protem Committee went through, to make believe a new House of Allah in Kampong Raja Uda stands, right from zero to what it is now. The Nazir & gang have nothing to fear as all fund of the New Mosque account will be transferred under the custody of JAIS. (see, item 1).

Insyallah the Mosque under construction would be ready for prayer by early 2011 and if the Nazir maintain his current position, the Mosque would be handed over to him and his Committee. What’s the problem? See no problem in it, after mission accomplished.

All the episodes had been predetermined by Allah to test our faith unto HIM. If you don’t believe in Allah destiny, then you have a lot to do on soul searching.

There is no questions at all that the New Mosque Protem Committee as HARAM which the Nazir labeled. If it was, JAIS would have dissolved all the Committee Members and appointed a new set. The fact that JAIS had requested the return of RM 300 which was illegally withdrawn by Nazir & gang clearly indicated that they were not authenticated to do so. The harmony of the Jemaah was in disarray when the Nazir removed the New Mosque Notice Board and locked up the Donation Safes of the New Mosque.

JAIS had come out with a written (black & white) instruction and I hope the Nazir understands Bahasa Malaysia and abide to all. Please for goodness sake, let the administrative aspect of the Mosque construction run smoothly without any interruption from him & gang and by early 2011 KRU residents and surroundings would have a grand Mosque.

Let’s work together, collect as much donations as we can, so that we can equip the New Mosque with modern and high tech facilities. We need chandeliers, air condition units, PA system, carpets, chairs, tables, computers, facilities handling Jenazah and others. The New Mosque has only about RM 60,000 at Bank Islam and RM 300,000 at Bank Muamalat. Please dont lock the New Mosque Donation Safes anymore.

Saidina Uthman said, I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “Whoever builds a Mosque, desiring thereby Allah pleasure, Allah builds for him the like of it in Paradise”.

I was a Committee Member during the planning stage of this New Mosque until I resigned due to health problem in October 2003. The impending New Mosque is very sentimental to me.
