Here is the story of an Imam who got up after Friday prayers and announced to the people: "I have good news and
bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still
out there in your pockets."

An Imam shocked his community when he announced that he was resigning from that particular Masjid and moving
to a drier climate. After the session, a very distraught lady came to the Imam with tears in her eyes, "Oh, Imam,
we are going to miss you so much. We don't want you to leave!" The kind hearted Imam said "Now, now, sister,
don't carry on. The Imam who takes my place might be even better than me".
"Yeah", she said, with a tone of disappointment in her voice, "That's what they said the last time too . . . "
