Attempts to Gain Keys, Alarm Codes and Computer Access at the Masjid/TROID (unlawfully)
Before the paper fraud attempts to strong-arm TROID, there were actual attempts to use brute-force to gain control of the masjid. There were attempts to gain keys, alarm code access and computer password access! Our brother Mustafa Nigiri (shoorah member and a key holder for the masjid) recounts his conversation with two central characters in this evil operation, the local ring-leader (and self-proclaimed President of TROID) Aron (Harun) Cole and Dirie (Hamza) Beyle:
Conversation:
After this, Hamza as-Sumaalee, one of the signees of this petition called Mustafa.Harun Cole: “why were you given a key”
Mustafa Nigiri: “to open up for fajr”
Harun Cole: “I'm going to need the key from you”
Mustafa Nigiri (shocked): “I’m not going to be around the area”
Harun Cole: “Where are you now”
Harun Cole: “Hamza (Beyle) lives around there”
Harun Cole: “I’ll call you back”
A few days later Harun Cole (local ringleader) called Mustafa again:Hamza as-Sumaalee: “where are you, can we meet up, you know what, I am going to need the access code to get in the masjid”
Mustafa Nigirii: “what happen to your access code”
Hamza as-Sumaalee: “It was removed”
Mustafa Nigiri: “I’m not giving you mine”
This is the account of the noble brother Mustafa, a shoorah member and key-holder. He was shocked by the brazen nature of Cole, Beyle and his associates. It did not seem to cross their minds that this is a criminal offence, it is not rooted in any goodness or taqwaa and Allaah’s refuge is sought. Had the assailants entered the building at night, we naturally would have treated this as a criminal offence and taken appropriate measures through the authorities. This instance happened another time also, when a young brother who volunteers at the masjid (just 17 years old) was also asked for building alarm codes, something he reported to the administration of TROID in some distress.Harun Cole: “I’m going to need the password for the computer at the back, sometime in the night time, when Ahmad (Assing) is not there, Hamza is going to go in and back up files”
Mustafa Nigiri: “I can’t give it to you, it was an amaanah given to me from ‘Umar”
