i think there is more to it than that....

anyways lets not start with this slandering already.

the reason why they dont declare that income is most probably your local mosque is a registered charity. im not too privvy on the specifics but i do know that its actually the mosque that tells them to accept cash in hand because it makes it easy for them, voluntary work with goodwill gestures.

also some, ok rather very few teachers dont do it for the money, they just teach because they can and want to, to them the money is a well and truely a good will gesture.

anyway its not as clear cut as some of you guys are making out. im not saying your totally off the mark as some people do exist like you claim, but some also dont.

Take the money out altogether and see who remains........

We both know it is not a 'goodwill gesture' but a actual wage for hours worked. we both know that. You can make it technical all you want,but on the ground level,its a wage. If it was a goodwill gesture,they should still decalre it and let the authorities decide.

By the way, a teacher whose only income is from the madrassa is very different to a person who works 9-5 with a good salary and even then goes to teach in a maktab in the evening and claiming that wage too.

Hafiz Patel sahib gets very angry at those scholars who have a regular well paid 9-5 job and then teach in a madrassa and claim the wage.

if the madrassa is your sole income,fine,but when one is leading a comfortable life just with ones 9-5 job and then takes money from teaching at madrassa,one wonders wether money has become the goal.

anyway,rant over.
