“Anfiqu ya ibn Adam Unfiq alaik” (Sahih Bukhari)  Why should I do Infaq? ُ‫مَّثَلُ الَّذِيهَ يُىفِقُىنَ أَمِىَاَلهُمِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّتٍ أَوبَتَتِ سَبِعَ سَىَببِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُىبُلَتٍ مِّئَتُ حَبَّتٍ وَاللّه‬ ﴾٢٦١﴿ ٌ‫ُيضَب ِعفُ لِمَه يَشَبء وَاللّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيم‬ "The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is as the likeness of a grain (of corn): it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allah gives manifold increase to whom He pleases: And Allah is All- Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, AllKnower.” (2:261) Narrated Abu Hurairah (ra): Allah's Apostle said, "Allah said, 'O son of Adam! Spend, and I shall spend on you." (hadith Qudsi)( Sahih Bukhari)

 Accounting in the Islamic state The development of the accounting system in the Islamic state was motivated and associated with the imposition of zakat in the year 2 H (624 A.D.) Also we learn from the Quran that when Yusuf (as) became the finance minister his main responsibility was to Keep an account of inventory and distribute it in an equitable way.

 What is accounting? Accounting is the art of organizing, maintaining, recording, and analyzing financial activities.

 Importance of keeping a correct record of Bait-ul-Maal According to Hazrat Omar “Bait-ul- maal is like Maal -e- Yateem”

79

 Bait-ul-Maal of ICNA sister’s wing

What are our Sources of Income? •

Fund Raising, Monthly member donations (a’anat), Non-member donations, Zakat, Sadaqat. etc.

What are the important things to do in the Planning of 2009? 1. Keeping at least two programs on motivating people to donate – especially in Ramadan. 2. Implementing the Receipt system  Give a receipt for every dollar you take, (ayanat, donation, noor, companion etc.)  Send completed receipt books to the P.O. BOX  Send request for additional Receipt books at [email protected]

3. Improving the Recording and Reporting system. A: Making the Report 80

    

Send Checks and reports on a monthly basis. (all Unit, Regions and Departments) Use the new report form. If you collect cash always make a money order. Set deadlines for receiving checks from cities and sub-units. Ask them to mail the checks to the local bait-ul-maal at a particular date. Each unit and region should compile and mail the report and checks by the 10 th of each month to: ICNA SISTER’S WING PO BOX No: 1786 ALIEF, TX 77411-1786

  

E-mail the report to : [email protected] Remember to write the date on which the checks were mailed on the report, before e-mailing . Also write the number of checks mailed on the report.

 B:

Make correct calculations and write the amount under the right category.    

C:

Do not E-mail the report until checks have been mailed.

Regions Send 100% of all Income. Units send 70% of Ayanat and 100% of all other income. Donations collected for a specific event (e.g. Tarbiyah Seminar, Eid Milan etc.) will be used for that event and amount remaining will be sent to the Markaz. General donations collected on behalf of ICNA will be sent 100 % to Markaz.

Get Organized. Use a Multi –pocket folder- for each Bait-ul-Maal in charge (even at the Sub-unit level). What should I do with this Folder? Easy as one two three!!!!!!

Step 1: Label the Pockets: Receipt book, Ayanat, Donation, Sadaqah, Zakat, Mcna, Noor, companion

81

Step 2: Collect money and checks in these pockets the whole month.

Step 3: Then at the end of the month take money and checks out of each pocket and make a calculations using either:

 Six column Cash Book or Excel work sheet

D. Request for invoice payment or re-imbursement of expenses-(for Regions and Departments). Send your request to [email protected]

REMEMBER  

To attach the invoice or receipt. To write the full name and address of the person to whom the check is to be mailed.

82

Conclusion

Income is raised at Sub-unit/Regional level for expenses that are incurred at the central level. Examples of expenses incurred are: Web-site, Dawah, Tarbiyah, Online Classes, Institute, Tarbiyah seminars, Printing and Publishing, Noor magazine, MCNA, Companion, Conventions, Flyers, Circulars, CDs etc.

Al-Baqarah O ye who believe! Spend out of (the bounties) We have provided for you before the Day comes when no bargaining (will avail) nor friendship nor intercession. Those who reject faith they are the wrong-doers. (254)

May Allah Ta’ala help us fulfill our duties

Jazak Allah Khair—Central Bait-ul-Maal

The Developmental Stages of Usratul Maria Brief Description Of Stages 

Stage I: A very initial start to English dawah work; some classes/halaqas made available to non-members; very few UM members; WhyIslam efforts being considered but no official start; more follow up needed amongst non-members & members



Stage II: UM members meetings somewhat established but not regular; dawah efforts increasing but not consistent; low attendance level for online/local Tarbiyah classes/programs; WhyIslam established- no regularity in attendance or classes; more follow up needed amongst non-members & members



Stage III: English Dawah efforts and UM members solidly established; more follow up needed amongst non-members & members; no expansion of current dawah programs and/or UM sub-units

Cities/Regions That Fall Under Each Stage 

Stage I: West Region, Houston, New Jersey, Midwest  Stage II: East Region, New York, Lexington  Stage III: Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas

Questions For Each Stage  Stage I: 1) How can an area begin a new English halaqa/class? 2) What efforts are being made to transition non-members to ICNA? 3) How can the UM member be more linked to the organization? 

Stage II: 1) What should the format be for the UM members meetings? 2) What efforts are being made to increase online attendance? 3) How is the Central Planning being utilized at the local/regional level?



Stage III: 1) What is the follow up procedure for each member and its effectiveness? 2) How can an inactive member become active?

84
