Security as an Amanah:

Preserving The Sanctity of the Masjid

In Islam, the masjid is not just a place of worshipit is the heart of the community. It is a sanctuary for prayer, reflection, learning, and social connection. As our communities grow in size and diversity, ensuring the safety and security of these sacred spaces has become more essential than ever. Access control, security protocols, and a culture of safety are not just technical or administrative duties; they are responsibilities rooted in our deen and critical for protecting the well-being of all who enter.

Why Security and Safety Matter

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.(Reported by Ibn Majah)

This hadith sets a powerful principle: a Muslim must be a source of peace and safety for others. Our masajid must reflect that principle in every aspect of their operations. Just as we care for the spiritual needs of our community, we must also guard their physical safetyespecially in an era where places of worship have unfortunately become targets of violence and disruption.
