Assalamualaikum,

Friends,

Yesterday, the New Paper wrote an interesting article. I got hooked when reading their "bait" on the first page with the statement: Should churches be run like businesses?

Of course that article is related to the current investigations being made towards some of Singapore's Mega-churches.

 

Most of our mosques today are merely surviving financially. It is sometimes disheartening to see the condition of some of these mosques. We often see the persistent efforts made by staff and volunteers to raise funds and "stay afloat".

Without associating or making a direct comparison with any of these Mega-churches, do you think our mosques should be run like businesses?
