This Ummah has centers: the masjid and the Imam. The masjid is the place of worship. The Imam is the anchor and the center of Islamic knowledge and Islamic morality of the community. The Imam does more than lead prayers and give khutbahs. The community revolves around the Imam. Community spirit begins with the Imam. If the Imam reaches out to the community and the community reaches back, a relationship develops and we start to see progress in the community greater than what we see today.
However, when leaders try to run the Imam and the masjid, then the community suffers and the masjid is abandoned.
May Allah return this Ummah to the Imams. Aameen.
