MINAB consultation event
The Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board (MINAB) held its regional consultation event at the Leicester Central Mosque on Saturday 23rd February 2008.
Over 120 representatives from Islamic organisations and mosque attended this first stage of national consultation which is designed to obtain views on issues such as the accreditation of Imams, better governance of Mosques and interfaith activity. The information gained will be used to develop and disseminate a good practice guide, setting out the principles and procedures that Mosques and Imams should follow to effectively lead their communities.
Since its launch, the MINAB’s work has been undertaken through an interim steering group, comprising of representatives from the Al-Khoei Foundation, British Muslim Forum, Muslim Association of Britain and Muslim Council of Britain. The four organisations have achieved consensus on a Constitution for the MINAB and developed a draft framework of core minimum standards for those who become its members. Membership of the MINAB is open to all mosques and Muslim educational and training establishments.
