Demanding Transparency For Huququ'llah Funds From The Universal House of Justice (UHJ)

 

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
