I hardly post anything in this forum. But the email from Dr Akim Kabir really disturbed me. It shouldn’t have been posted to this public forum with such a negative tone. Mr Shahjahan Miyan used to post important information about salat time etc. I even didn’t look in what capacity he was sending these emails. Was he really posting incorrect and misleading information! I don’t think so.
May Allah guide us all.

Dear Brother Dr. Akim,
Assalamualikum.
One thing I couldn’t figure out the reason why you have sent this email publicly where you can solve the issue internally by discussing in the board of directors meeting.
We have no interest knowing who is president or chairman or directors of your group. Please solve such issue internally instead of putting on public forum.
We all appreciate efforts of your Sheba group to build mosques – May Allah help us in this regards. Please put some more efforts to keep unity among yourselves.
May Allah help you solving issues in just.
Regards,
Faruk Ahmed

Dear Perthbashi,
Thank you very much for all your support that we (the Sheba Group WA) have been receiving. Occasionally you may have received some emails from Mr. Shahajahan Miyan, which sometimes contains incorrect information. Internally, within Sheba Group WA, we have pointed out those misleading information and had requested corrections. I hereby take this opportunity to disseminate some corrections to some misleading information sent through Perthbashi:
- Sheba Group WA Pty Ltd (registered on 27 May 2014) has eight shareholders, who are also the directors of the company. The company is headed by a Chairman. On 21 March 2017, Sheba’s then Chairman Mr. Shahajahan Miyan has submitted his intention (to the Board of Directors) to resign and exit Sheba. He had given up his Chairman position and the responsibility was handed over to Dr. Md. Amanullah and Mr. Matiur Rahman (ex. Adelaide resident; now in Dhaka).
- We (Sheba Group) had bought 3 hectares (~30,000m2) of land in Wattle Grove (25, 27 29 Lewis Road). Subsequently we have donated an area of 3,955m2 of vacant land (rear part of 29 Lewis Road) to build a Mosque, now named Masjid Al Falah. Currently, SHEBA has allowed one of its existing buildings on that property to use as a temporary Musallah for daily prayers and Friday Jummah Prayers. A non-profit organisation named Al Falah Muslim Association Inc. (AFMA) has been formed to run the activities of Masjid Al Falah. AFMA has a management committee, referred to hereinafter as MC.
- Section 6.d.i. of our Sheba constitution addendum states, “The Al-Falah Muslim Association management committee (MC) and its constitution are to be Sheba approved. The President and the Secretary are to be elected by Sheba board of directors (BOD). In late 2016, we (Sheba) have approved a Masjid Management Committee (MC), however we have not elected a President yet. This means, there is no elected President of the MC. I am not sure how anyone can claim to be the President publicly and officially, which is misleading and totally unauthorized.
- Also, the background of the formation of ‘Sheba’ has been wrongly communicated. The dream of establishing a mosque in Wattle Grove was initiated by some local Muslim brothers by starting the daily congregational prayer and weekly Quran lesson program at one of the brother’s garage in Wattle Grove.
i. One of the above mentioned brothers had identified these 3 lots of land for sale in early 2013, which was advertised in Perthbashi. There were no buyers for these lots for a few of months.
ii. At the end three of us, who were working away from Perth at that time, had decided to take a major stake of this project to build a Masjid-oriented community on Lewis Road. Five other partners, working in Perth at that time, joined us and the proposal of our offer was taken to the Shire of Kalamunda, which eventually led to the purchase of these lots.
- At this moment we have various moral, ethical and legal issues within Sheba Group. We have to overcome those issues and make Sheba and AL FALAH MUSLIM ASSOCIATION INC upright and just organizations. The Masjid Management Committee and Sheba should abide by all code of conducts, rules regulations and should remain clean and truthful.
With kind regards,
Akim Kabir
Director, Sheba Group WA Pty Ltd
