This virus has spread to the mosques, and as such, has turned the mosques to abodes of arguments, rifts and conflicts. The problem of administrative incompetence has eroded the integrity of Muslim clerics and has further subject them to ridicule at enlightened fora like conferences, TV/Radio programmes, naming ceremonies, funerals, graduation ceremonies and marriages. The causes of this sorry state are diverse and complex, but the major one is lack of management acumen and inability of Imams and Masjid officials to understand and cope with the dynamics of this age. It is however pathetic and disturbing that Muslim community for a very long time have not been able to live up to expectation judging by its moribund institutions of which the Masjid is one. To be able carry out these noble duties, the Muslim community needs to put in place viable programmes, institutions and projects that will stand the test of time.
Undoubtedly, the Muslims are worthy vicegerents of Allah on earth because they are given the mandate to lead, to set the pace for others to emulate.
