It has always been our view to take care of the ulama and apas who relentlessly serve the Deen and take care of the needs of our community especially in our makaatib which have been a means to the preservation of Deen in our country.
However, this can only be achieved if all people collectively combine their recourses and consider the remuneration of ulama and apas as they would consider secular professionals.
Unfortunately many committees do not like to see the progress of their ulama and apas and do not make an effort to make them comfortable in terms of their living standard. We therefore, always call on people of the community to financially support this important function of our communities that will protect Deen for generations in our country.
And Allah Ta'ala knows best
