        Masjid faith services, Ummah Responsibilities

 

  The Prophets Masjid was located in a place with people of all beliefs Man, WombMan, families and communities, of many Tribe-Nations(Peoples), different appearances, skin-colors. Muslims, from any community, came to central Masjid to be part of living, faith duties, volunteer duties, activities, and get direct faith guidance, law ruling, have law-matters that occurred in their Community system judged or rejudged by the larger Muslim Community. The Prophet used the practice of having Muslims volunteer or were asked to do Masjid faith services and larger community of all Muslims(Ummah) work. Volunteering was in free-time and own-choosing to do.

Masjid faith services and larger community of all Muslims work - It was optional by choice and if a Muslim had available time. The Prophet(sws) in every day practice used Rotation all Muslims Man, WombMan, youth and mature Masjid faith services and Umma work responsibilities. It is how in Islam different peoples can share 1 Masjid and all do the work of faith and have equal time doing and see their people in all works of faith including Imam. Muslims groups and communities can have Imams, but in the history of the Prophet, Muslims shared the responsibility and volunteered in their free time, in time of choosing or if asked and available/willing.

​

The Prophet(sws) would take Muslims of different peoples/ appearances-color, ages, wealth, levels of learning Example - Abu Baker Saddiq, Salman Farsi, Umar Ibn Kittab, Bilal Al Hashibi, Uthman Ibn Affan, Suhayb Al Rumi, Ali Abi Ibn Talib, Zayid Ibn Harith and all Muslims and encouraging to lead, prayer, do works-responsibilities, manage activities. And taught respect to all people, no class, cast, no seniority, no bias.

 

The Prophet(sws) used rotation to let all Muslims share and all have equal opportunity to do faith and community work. The Prophet made the Sahabbah and Muslims rotate, different peoples/races, different-skin-colors, different-ages, different-wealth's, Man and WombMan(work appropriate), different communities; including in manager work and Imam - Man youth and mature.

Leed managers from all the different work-responsibilities, together were a group/council of leaders of the larger-Community of- Muslim. The volunteer serving as Imam serving as the council Leeder. Management/administration buildings included Masjid, treasury and other.

​

Meaning from the Central Masjid administration / management of Muslim were done similar to a larger community over Muslims and Muslim communities but not segregated it was in Madina; a place with many communities, Tribes, villages, Towns, Cities of different faiths, governesses, sharing the same , location. Some communities were of many faiths and did their communal duties and Faiths Communal duties. Example Salman Farsi was part of a Jewish Community he stayed with his community and was a important Sahabba serving in Faith services and Ummam work. 

 

Muslims volunteering in a Community-Work responsibilities as managers reported to the Prophet and talked of duties in places open to all people. 

 

The Prophet told Masjids in all lands and locations to do the explained Standard Masjid faith Services and larger Muslim Ummah work.

And the Prophet told communities to do the standard services of Community and Leadership.

 

Following Islam practices did not mean ending culture. Qur'an and the Prophet(sws) gave guidance on practices to do, modify to be halal, lawful and stop. the idea is 1 possibility out of a number of variations showing if Muslims do not have a caliphate how they manage community, masjid, zakat.

Some communities leaders were also there Imam by begin their leader. Imam can mean Leader, Leader in faith services, or both. But Sunnah guidance of Muslims rotating, help Muslims share activity. Muslims follow appointing or electing.

​

​

Masjids are physical buildings and zakat money gold, silver copper. Zakat was collected from all Muslims in world, to the Prophets Central-Masjid, Treasury.

The Prophet had told Masjids in all lands to send their budgets reflecting the standard(Same in all Masjid meaning same costs/budgits) Qur'an and Sunnah Masjid services, resources and Ummah community services. 

The Prophet administration combined the money, audited the budgets of all Masjids, divided equally-equivalently and sent to all Masjids to give all Muslims faith services and shared Masjid-Community Responsibilities between communities.

Zakat as a Ummah Faith tax paid for Masjid resources, faith services, Muslims Ummah shared community services. Private Community needs paid by own non faith tax/money. It could occur in Multiple Faith Communities or Other. Zakat is a Muslims resource of faith, meaning private - Communities, Tribes, Villages, Towns, Cities, Sovreighn-Territories would need to share some part of useful living area or if want Privacy community,  Zakat cover Masjid Resources, Faith Services and Ummah Muslims faith Community services if private community Masjids are to be reachable by all Muslims. and if Zakat is used on Private Community need, offer some useable area to Muslims outside community. 

​

Muslims not able to send to the Prophet followed the guidance of the Messenger of Allah Central Masjid in region Muslims of different Communities and locations live, collect Zakat to a Central Masjid and used as if sent to the Prophet Central Administration. During the Caliphate of the Rightly guided Caliphs, the same method was used, if money could not be sent.

by sending to a Province Central Masjid, Province Central Masjid send to State Central Masjid, sent to National Central Masjid that audit the budgits and send payment to State Central Masjid to send to Province Centril Masjid to pay all Masjids in region.

​

To limit power and money control in Masjids, the Prophet weekly / monthly gave extra money, beyond budget/reserve, and things in treasury back to as many Muslims as possible; sometimes to any asking or there. Pay cards can be given to all Muslims. Everything - charity store or other charity can can be open given to all People.

​

Zakat was used for Masjid faith-services, and management/administration for Masjid communal resources shared by all Muslims no matter community or from any near or distant place in the world in location. Meaning it tended to general Muslims Ummah needs. Madina had a alliance of Communities and faiths  money for shared interests was collected from all groups, non religious Tax is a example.

 

In the Caliphate zakat was the majority tax Money of regions under Muslims rule. Communities further increased own wanted things with own monies. The Masjid was open to all Muslims.

​

-Islam, created a system of law and fairness to help all have marriage with fairness, equality, no seniority between Young Marriage seekers and older, wealthier, people in position of authority. A Muslim could use the masjid and law to have their rights protected. Prophets(sws), many times repeated the message, telling Muslims to marry, Youths to not delay. And showed people can have/gain wealth in money, housing, life, but to marry - basic housing and ability to earn/gain money. Culture delay of marriage haram, stop. The Qur’an warn of magic of Babel other things in family, culture, community, world and shaytanic  agenda; haram, stop. The Qur'an give Muslims guidance on balancing Physical and metaphysical living in how Muslims live, eat, pray, purify mind body, spirit, marry, halal and haram restrictions in all things and other. The Rightly Guided Caliphate followed the Prophet’s example.

 

The Prophet had limited Charity -Work help: worked by people needing and volunteers

        – Masjid farm; hunter-gathering - land, water, air; cattle-Shepherding,       

            merchants-manufacture-crafts, caravan-merchant-trade and support, repair,

            food/water mill, Security, sanitation, Vehicles animals and vehicles,

            Nature protection/restoration.

​

Their is much information to Muslim History, but the truth of information it is agreed in both Sunni and Shiite(Ahlibayth) history. Caliph and governors is not a goal of project. Possible future work positions. By the command of Allah Caliph/Imam, only 1 in 1 Ummah of Muslims. Muslims believe in moderation, good-equal law, respecting all People Muslims and not Muslim. Do not divide.
