Conduct immediate board elections at ICCD ( Des Plaines)
Conduct immediate board elections at ICCD ( Des Plaines)
The Issue
The Islamic Community Center of Des Plaines has been a cornerstone of our community, providing a place of worship, learning, and fellowship for many years. However, a concerning issue has arisen that threatens the integrity and unity of our beloved masjid. Board elections have been due since October 31st 2025.Elections have not been conducted, leading to a lack of transparency and potential corruption in our governance.
This situation has left us, the members of the community, in an uncertain position. Our voices have been marginalized, and decisions that affect our masjid are being made without proper representation. It is crucial that we reclaim our right to participate in the democratic process that governs the leadership and direction of our Islamic Center.
Transparency and responsible governance are the foundations of any credible institution. Therefore, we are calling for immediate elections to be conducted at the Islamic Community Center of Des Plaines( ICCD). To ensure fairness and impartiality, we propose involving third-party organizations and judicial oversight to manage and supervise the electoral process.
This proactive step will not only restore accountability within our center but also strengthen our community bonds. It will allow all members to have a say in the leadership, fostering an environment of unity and trust.
The Islamic principle of Shura, or mutual consultation, is an invaluable part of our heritage. By restoring fair elections, we honor this tradition and ensure that our Islamic Center continues to serve its purpose as a bastion of faith and community.
We urge the current management committee to address this urgent request without delay. The time has come to prioritize the community's voice, uphold our values, and protect our masjid from further risks of corruption. Let us work together towards a transparent and inclusive future for the Islamic Center of Des Plaines. There should be immediate call to board elections for all 9 board seats at ICCD with involvement of a third party islamic organization and judicial monitoring.
Please sign this petition to demand immediate elections at our Islamic Center and help preserve the integrity and future of our community.
