I have noticed that despite repeated
requests, many people are unable to obtain the account of the Huququ’llah funds
collected by the Universal House of Justice (UHJ). What steps would Team Free
Baha'is recommend for addressing this issue?
Answer:
Hi Bob,
Allah’u’Abha!
If efforts to obtain the account of
Huququ’llah funds collected by the UHJ have been unsuccessful, it may be
necessary to escalate the matter to lower authorities within the Baha'i
community. This could include contacting the National Spiritual Assembly or the
International Teaching Center for guidance and support and indirectly put
pressure on the UHJ to act on the same. It may also be helpful to gather
support from other concerned individuals and groups, and to advocate for
greater transparency and accountability in the handling of Baha'i funds.
One important step that we could take to
ensure prompt implementation is to establish clear deadlines for submission,
and follow up on any missed deadlines. This could involve engaging key Baha'i
contributors to the fund to raise questions in meetings, and ensuring that
these discussions are recorded in the meeting minutes for follow-up at
subsequent meetings with stakeholders.
Ultimately, it is important to approach
the situation with humility, patience, and a commitment to upholding the
principles and values of the Baha'i Faith.
Please feel free to share any inspiring
stories of your efforts to obtain Huququ'llah accounts from the UHJ. We would
love to feature them in our magazine and share them with the community as a
powerful example of dedication and perseverance in upholding the principles of
transparency and accountability.
If you have any additional questions,
please do not hesitate to contact us.
Regards,
Team Free Baha’is
