that the muslim community particularly the leaders and ulema should sit together to discuss this serious issue and come with a system which should properly serve the imams and other staff of mosques yes allah will reward them in the life here after or even here but what about the community why should it not pay for the time the imams and muezzins spend to serve them he askedmaulana qureshi says that given the condition of the wakf board nothing much can be expected from it but the political leadership and ulema should resolve to force the board or devise some other mechanism whereby the imams and muezzins should be able to live decently and serve the community properlyaccording to sources generally the salary of an imam ranges between rs 3000 and rs 5000 since mecca masjid and shahi masjid are an exception the imams and muezzins there are paid higher salaries on the other hand a muezzin generally gets rs 2000 to rs 3000
