Put Knowledge into Practice
When a man sought knowledge, it would not be long before it could be seen in his humbleness, his sight, upon his tongue and his hands, in his prayer, in his speech and in his disinterest (zuhd) in worldly allurements. And a man would acquire a portion of knowledge and put it into practice, and it would be better for him than the world and all it contains – if he owned it he would give it in exchange for the hereafter.- Al-Hasan Al-Basrî

“These ones have become tired of worship, speaking has become easy for them, and their piety has diminished, and that is why they talk.”

ReplyDeleteMadam, I was reading this article "Muslim charity squandered money for poor"

Published On Thu Jan 20 2011
According to this article...
The organization had a world-renowned Islamic scholar on its payroll, despite her not actually working for ISNA, in a bid to help her immigrate to Canada, the audit revealed.
Farhat Hashmi had been invited to come from Pakistan to deliver lectures several times throughout the mid-2000s.
“This is a serious violation of the (Canadian Revenue Agency) rules and immigration rules to hire someone just in the books to help get through immigration,” the auditor’s report said.
(with due respect) Would you like to comment on that...
regards
Bismillah

ReplyDeleteLife as one knows, is full of new challenges and everyday when we reach a certain level of goodness, shaitan intervenes to create doubts and decrease our degree of Iman. For instance, our level of imaan suffered a lot in the recent controversy of financial audit of ISNA where our dear Ustazah, Dr. Farhat Hashmi has also been mentioned, stating she was sponsored by ISNA to immigrate to Canada.
It is true that ISNA sponsored her, but it was not for immigration purposes. ISNA invited her to hold lectures and conduct various programmes in Canada for the Muslim community especially the women and youth with authentic knowledge.We are immensely thankful to ISNA for having given us this opportunity.
As we are all aware, it is a known practice that leading and well established Muslim Organizations offer support to other scholars and teachers whose presence they feel will bring a positive change in the lives of many. They initiate, encourage and sponsor them. All masajid and organizations who are conveying the knowledge of Islam have same goals and objectives so it does not matter from which platform one is working.
Comments like these from the media for such dedicated mother organizations like ISNA are very discouraging for those who are sincerely striving to serve the Muslim community in the West. I feel their efforts should be appreciated and encouraged by the community. If Dr. Farhat did not accept the ISNA invitation to Canada in the 2000's do you think that positive change in the lives of many women through learning Quran from her in these few years would have otherwise been possible?
I personally feel it is a test from Allah swt for us because when one doesn't value the blessings bestowed, then Allah swt takes away the light of knowledge. Dr. Farhat Hashmi is one such source of light with which she enlightens so many around her. If we are today deprived of scholars like her, then we are truly the deprived ones.
Quotation fron the audit report, pg 8:
ReplyDelete111.9 EMPLOYEE IN PAYROLL NOT PHYSICALLY EMPLOYED IN ISNA
Issue: During audit we found a person named Farhat Hashmi is in the payroll of ISNA however she is not physically working for ISNA.
Management Response: Not discussed this issue with management as this issue is a late edition.
Implication: This is a serious violation of the CRA rules and immigration rules to hire someone just in the books to help get through immigration.
Recommendation: It is recommended to stop this violation immediately and rectify the situation.
