Overview PDF Print E-mail

The Cork Muslim Society was established in 1984. For a number of years the Muslims were praying in a rented house. In 1994 a house was bought to be used as a Mosque and Islamic Centre. However, after a few years a problem arose over the lack of planning permission to change the use of the house from a private dwelling into a Mosque. The Cork Corporation decided to close the Mosque in February 2001 following complaints from the neighbours. At present local Muslims in Cork are praying in a rented accommodation awaiting the establishment of their Mosque in new premises. The Muslims in Cork are seeking to obtain a more suitable and bigger place with parking facilities. This is especially needed in light of the increase in the number of Muslims in Cork.

We are currently trying to raise funds so we can build a purpose built mosque in Cork. If you feel you are in the position to make a donation it would be greatly appreciated.

Ideology

Cork Mosque is based upon the ideology of Islam as embodied in the Qur'an and the Sunnah (the life of the Prophet Muhammed, peace be upon him). It is this ideology alone which moves us, which motivates us to work willingly, and which unites us. Cork Muslims consist of many races, nationalities, and languages. We seek to help each other, and also to work with non-Muslims in order to share with them Islamic knowledge and to build a harmonious community.

Aims & Objectives

Cork Mosque aims to serve the best interests of Islam and the Muslims in Cork, so as to enable us to practice Islam as a complete way of life while educating the non-Muslims about the pure and universal truth of Islam. Towards this end it shall:
  • disseminate Islamic knowledge among Muslims for the purpose of strengthening our commitment to Islam as a complete code of conduct.
  • present Islam to Muslims and non-Muslims to promote friendly relations and understanding between them.
  • develop greater understanding and unity among the various language and cultural groups in Cork Muslim community.
  • conduct social, cultural, religious and educational activities in Cork in the best tradition of Islam.
Finally, in order to help its members live Islamically, Cork Mosque will try to find better ways and means to practice Islam in contemporary settings.

Proposed Constitution PDF Print E-mail

Dear brothers and sisters,

Al-Salam Alikom.

In recent years, the number of Muslims in Cork has increased substantially, and this has cultivated the importance to think of an advised integration strategy. We firmly believe that it is our duty to aid in the integration of newcomers into our society and to take the initiative to help them make the best of their potentials for the benefit of the Muslim society. It is this kind of thinking that is the framework for the Cork Muslim society. A positive involvement of the Muslims into the society could be structured around different forms participation leading to the development of a civic sense of belonging to this society. Therefore, the members of Cork Mosque Committee are suggesting a new proposal for the constitution of Cork Muslim Society and looking for share the experience of every member of the society in this proposal.

The Cork Muslim Society is registered at The Friendly Society (Registration number 1793 S.A) and also registered as Charity Society. Every member can download the constitution from our web site www.corkmosque.org he can ask for free hard copy from any member of the mosque committee. You can send your suggestions and opinions through our email (in web site) or you can drop it to the mosque. If u likes to discuss any point, u can also contact any member of the committee. All phones and email addresses are on the web site and also hanged in the mosque.

The main points suggested in the new proposal are;

1- The addition of the new definition of senior members,

Senior members are those who were elected as committee members or trustee members and hold these positions for a period of not less than 12months.  Senior members may include those who are either working as employee with the society, or have been employed by the society in the past and are known to some present members/ employees.

2- Change the way of nominate and choose the trustee members.

Any two ordinary members of the Society shall be at liberty to nominate any other ordinary to serve as a Trustee of the Society having received his agreement. Nominations must be in writing at least one day before the general meeting. Three Trustees shall hold office until retirement, death, leaving permanent residence in Ireland or removal from office by a resolution of the Society.

It will be replaced by,

- A trustee must be nominated by at least 2 senior members of the society; such nomination must be approved by the majority of ordinary members present and who have the right to vote in general meeting. Three Trustees shall hold office for not more than five years or until retirement, death, leaving permanent residence in Ireland or removal from office by a resolution of the Society.

The reason of change,

-The work in the mosque makes the senior members more familiar with the society members and who is better to be nominate for this position. The ordinary members still has the right to accept or refuse this nomination.

-Five years is giving the chance to the society members to change the trustee members and it is enough to judge their performance.

3- The bank account shall be in the name of the Cork Muslim Society.

It will be replaced by;

-The bank account shall be in the name of the Cork Muslim Society and signed by trustee names.

The reason for change,

It makes the money safer and the building money will not be change every year with committee members.

4- Change the General meeting procedure,

The presence of at least sixty ordinary members shall constitute a quorum. If, within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting, a quorum of members is not present, the meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place, and if at eh adjourned meeting a quorum of members is not present within one hour of the time appointed for the meeting.

It will be replaced by;

The presence of at least 50% of ordinary members shall constitute a quorum. If, within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting, a quorum of members is not present, the General Assembly convenes after one hour on condition that the attendance comprises of no less than one third of the members. If the number is less than one third, the meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum of members is not present within one hour of the time appointed for the meeting. The ordinary members present shall be a quorum.

The reason of change,

50% of members are more reliable percentage as the number of Muslims increased last few years.

5- The procedure of proposing an amendment will be change,

- Any member of the society may propose an amendment to the constitution. Notice of amendment must be accompanied by the respond version, and signed by the proposer and seconder, and must be sent to the secretary at least two weeks before the meeting of the general assembly.

It will be replaced by,

-Any member of the society may propose an amendment to these rules. Notice of amendment must be accompanied by the respond version, and signed by the at least twenty supporter of such amendment (who are ordinary members in the society) and must be sent to the secretary at least two weeks before the general meeting of the society.

The reason of change,

This makes the changes in constitution not easy for every one. Approval of 20 members of this amendment means that it is a serious point.
