About MKA Finance

The finance department's main goal is to ensure members pay their annual dues (chanda) and that there is proper accounting of all income and expenses. In this capacity, we work with the local Majlis to support their efforts. More specifically, this year we have two very achievalbe but challenging goals of collecting over $356,800 in dues and having at least 2,000 participants. Please remember that new annual Ijtema Chanda rate is 2.5% of one month's income. With your help, InshaAllah, we can achieve both goals before October. Our history of collection suggests that we will, inshaAllah, raise more money than our budget, but we have to work towards getting the participation. We all hope that you will do your best to be part of this blessed drive as well as encourage others to do the same.

The Holy Quran on Financial Sacrifice
The similitude of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like the similitude of a grain of corn which grows seven ears, in each ear a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies it further for whomsoever He pleases and Allah is Bountiful, All-Knowing. (The Holy Quran, Al-Baqarah:262)

Annual Chanda Rates

Atfal: $12.00 ($6.00 Ijtema + $6.00 Majlis)
Khuddam (non-earning): $36.00 ($12.00 Ijtema + $24.00 Ijtema)
Khuddam (earning): 0.21% of Income (Ijtema) + 1% of Income (Majlis)

MKA Membership 2000
You may have seen this expression or perhaps heard it recently, but do you know what this is? Are we asking you to look back at the turn of the century? Is this a cryptic expression to remind us of the Y2K bug? No, this is simply our Chanda participation goal given to us by our Sadr Sahib. We need to have at least 2,000 Khuddam and Atfal participate in giving Auxiliary Chanda. We proudly say Labaik to the call of our Sadr and inshaAllah will attain this goal with room to spare.

Become a Regular in Paying Chanda
You can help us do our job with greater efficiency if you become regular at paying chanda. The question you may be wondering is how that may be possible. There is limited income but seemingly limitless expenses, so how are certain members able to be regular in their Chanda? Are there simple and manageable steps that a Khadim can take to make sure he's not behind on his Chanda?
