Site operates as multi-service hub
Evaluates the site's transformation into a dynamic community hub offering diverse services. This maximizes asset utility, fulfilling the amānah of the masjid as a civic center while preserving its sanctity. It deepens community engagement and addresses public interest (maṣlaḥah) by co-locating essential support services under a governance framework that ensures safety, compliance, and adherence to waqf stipulations (shurūṭ al-wāqif).
| Metric | Co-located Services Mix |
|---|---|
| Target | ≥3 distinct services (including ≥2 external) |
| Frequency | Quarterly |
| Method | Count of distinct regular services and count of external partner-led services. |
| Unit | Count |
Level 1: Initial/Ad-hoc
Use of the site for non-prayer activities is ad-hoc and informal, typically in response to individual requests. There is no formal plan or dedicated resources for community services.
Level 2: Developing
A limited number of regular, but separate, community services are offered (e.g., a weekly food bank, a weekend school). These services operate in silos with minimal coordination.
Level 3: Established
A formal strategy is in place to develop the site as a multi-service hub. A defined range of services is offered with some level of coordination, dedicated space, and allocated times.
Level 4: Advanced
The site is a recognized community hub with a diverse portfolio of integrated services. Formal partnerships with external agencies are established, and a systematic process exists for gathering community feedback to inform service development.
Level 5: Optimizing
The hub is a benchmark model of community service, continuously innovating based on data-driven needs analysis and impact measurement. It actively shares best practices and influences the development of other community hubs.
Organisation Types
By Organisation Size
| Size | Applicability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | exempt | Disproportionate; lacks capacity and infrastructure to host multiple external services and manage formal SLAs. |
| Small | optional | Nice-to-have if expanding, but formal hub requirements (MoUs, zoning, 3+ distinct services) are generally disproportionate. |
| Medium | partial | May host some external services, but strict requirements for 3+ external partners and complex zoning can be scaled down. |
| Large | full | Fully applicable. |
| Major | full | Fully applicable. |
