Imam Jobayer left the state of Connecticut in disgrace!

Chhabed Sathee, New York Correspondent: Maulana Jobayer Ahmed, a former imam and madrasa teacher at Bayt ul Mamur Mosque in Manchester, has left the US state of Connecticut after being insulted by the treasurer of the mosque committee. Tarek Ambia, treasurer of the Bayt ul Mamur Mosque Committee, was assaulted Imam Jobayer Ahmed on October 12 last year (2019) while performing his professional duties at the Madrasa. After an 10-and-a-half-month stay in Manchester, he left from Connecticut to Michigan on Friday, August 28.

Imam and madrasa teacher Maulana Jobayer Ahmed was taking classes for the students of the madrasa as usual at the Bayt ul Mamur Mosque on Saturday, October 12, 2019 at 10 am. According to the rules of the madrasa, the students were supposed to come to class within the stipulated time, but Tarek Ambia, the treasurer of the mosque committee, brought his son about 10/15 minutes late. He kept knocking on the door. Imam Jobayer Ahmed could not understand the harsh words as the class was going on inside. Tarek Ambia became angry with the Imam for being late to open the door. He continued to abuse the Imam in vulgar language. When the Imam asked him to speak politely, he became more angry. At one point Tarek compares Imam to different animals. For this reason, Imam Jobayer Ahmed felt extremely humiliated. With pain in his mind, he returned to his home. From that day onwards he did not come to Bayt ul Mamur Mosque. Although all the members of the mosque committee knew about the incident, the incident was covered up instead of being resolved tried to give. On the other hand, there is an attempt to settle the matter secretly with the Imam. But Imam Jobayer Ahmed clearly said that the accused person should go directly to him and apologize. According to the Imam's terms, Treasurer Tarek Ambia visited the house of Imam Maulana Jobayer Ahmed in Manchester on Thursday night, October 17, 2019, during the Asr prayers in the mosque and apologized for the unwelcome insult. Several worshipers were also present at the time.

The founding members Harun Ahmed and Jahed Chowdhury Liton played an active role in the construction of the mosque about 12 years ago. In the basement of the Asian grocery store, he made a place of prayer for the worshipers. A few years ago, treasurer Tarek Ambia assaulted Harun Ahmed inside the mosque and kicked him out of the mosque. Tarek Ambia's wife Sufia Ambia was assaulted Rawnak Afrose, a former public relations secretary of BAAC and a cultural activist. Local worshipers, including Bangladeshis, were shocked by these isolated incidents. When the audit of the mosque was audited by an audit committee a few years ago, a large amounts of money was not found. There are allegations that he was expelled from the mosque committee whenever anyone talked about the accounts of the mosque. Demands immediate dismissal of Treasurer Tarek Ambia, subject to proper investigation into these incidents, avoiding the dominance and regionalism of the mosque leadership. Expatriate Bangladeshis including Musalli said. On August 27, 2020 a group of worshipers met with Maulana Jobayer Ahmed, an imam and madrasa teacher at the Bayt ul Mamur Mosque in Manchester, to hear that he was leaving from Connecticut to Michigan. At this time, he expressed his grief and sorrow in the minds of the worshipers present. He expressed frustration that he might never come to Connecticut again. I have been in Manchester for so long because of the love of ordinary worshipers. Note that after being insulted by the treasurer of the mosque committee, Imam Maulana Jobayer Ahmed left the Imamate and teaching of Madrasa and made a living by driving a taxi for 10 and a half months. He pointed it out to the worshipers present. He expressed frustration that he might never come to Connecticut again.
