EG-EK-16 Education & Growth Education & Knowledge CORE Excellence v2.9.7

Accredited imām / khatīb CPD

Evaluates accredited CPD for religious leaders to ensure they uphold their Amānah (trust) with Kafāʾah (competence). Accredited CPD and supervision are mechanisms to ‘render the amānāt’ properly (Qur'an 4:58) by ensuring competence and just, safe decision-making in pastoral matters. This commitment demonstrates Iḥsān (excellence) in serving the congregation's contemporary needs while blocking means to harm (sadd al-dharā’iʿ) through robust safeguarding.
