OSI-OSA-02 Outreach & Social Impact Outreach & Social Action CORE Excellence v2.9.7

Number of public events

Evaluates the commitment to hosting at least six public events annually. Public events are externally advertised gatherings open to non-members and the wider community (including online/hybrid). They exclude routine worship services (e.g., Jumu‘ah), internal member-only meetings/classes, and staff/volunteer trainings. A recurring series counts as one event unless each session has: (a) a separately advertised registration page or flyer, (b) distinct learning objectives, and (c) separate attendance and evaluation records. This practice embodies *ta‘āruf* (mutual acquaintance) and serves the public good (*maṣlaḥa*), building crucial bridges with the wider community, enhancing public trust, and fostering greater social cohesion.
