In order to ensure smooth operation of Bismillah cultural centre and to better serve the community, the following rules have been formulated and will be implemented.

Masajids are the houses of Allah and all actions done in the masjid should be for the sake of Allah, and according to Quran and Sunnah. As a house of Allah, the masjid should be respected and not used in a way that displeases Allah. Bismillah cultural centre is a non-profit organization, and therefore it relies on its members to support its continual operation through donations of money, time, and any help possible. Masjid properties include the building, fixtures, furniture, books, equipment, electronics devices such as cameras, computers, printers, copiers, fax machines and any other items of value inside the building or stored outside its premises are for benefit of the masjid. Nobody is allowed to take, borrow, use, relocate, store, donate, replace, rent, sublease, salvage masjid proprieties, or make any decision pertaining to masjid proprieties without the prior approval of the member of the Executive committee. Such infringements against masjid proprieties temporary or otherwise will be considered as an act of transgression against the masjid and its members and appropriate measures will be taken including legal actions. Items removed from the Masjid facilities temporarily or otherwise will be considered as taken without authorization and appropriate measures will be taken. Furthermore, any damage to facilities, whether purposely or otherwise will be considered as an act of vandalism unless appropriate remedies are discussed and approved by the Executive Committee.

(Bismillah cultural Centre reserves the right to persecute any person/group for improper usage of facilities for damage to facilities, loss of items, trespassing, etc.)
