Characteristics of Not-for-Profit Organizations
1. Service Motive: These organisations have a motive to provide service
to its members or a specific group or to the general public. They provide
services free of cost or at a bare minimum price as their aim is not to earn
the profit. They do not discriminate among people on the basis of their
caste, creed or colour. Examples of services provided by them are
education, food,health care, recreation, sports facility, clothing, shelter, etc.
2. Members: These organisations are formed as charitable trusts or
societies. The subscribers to these organisations are their members.
3. Management: The managing committee or the executive committee
manages these organisations. The members elect the committee.

2. 2
4. Source of Income: The major sources of income of not-for-profit
organisations are subscriptions, donations, government grants, legacies,
income from investments, etc.
5. Surplus: The surplus generated in the due course is distributed
among its members.
6. Reputation: These organisations earn their reputation or goodwill on
the basis of the good work done for the welfare of the public.
7. Users of accounting information: The users of the accounting
information of these organisations are present and potential contributors as
well as the statutory bodies.
Accounting for Non-Profit Organisations
As we know that the not-for-profit organisations do not trade in goods or
provide services with a profit motive. But, they also require to keep proper
records of incomes,expenses, assets, and liabilities. Their major source of
income is donations, subscriptions, grants, etc. Therefore, most of their
transactions are in cash or through the bank account.
They need to keep properbooks firstly because they are accountable to the
members and the contributors and secondlybecause the law requires them
to maintain proper books so that the government can keep proper control
over the grants. Also, proper accounting reduces the risk of fraud and
embezzlement. In addition to the ledgers and cash book, they are also
required to maintain a stock register. Also, in a Stock register, a complete
record of all fixed assets and consumables is maintained.
In accounting for non-profit organizations, instead of maintaining a Capital
A/c, these organizations maintain Capital Fund or General Fund A/c. They
credit this account with the surplus, life membership fees, donations,
legacies, etc.

Social organizations
Social organizations strive to improve or cater to social causes. These
organizations may assist the homeless,provide free legal services, or help
veterans find work.
A social organization’s earnings typically come from donations or profits
made from selling goods. Social organizations might use any profits to
provide services to those in need or to fund the organization’s goals and
operations (e.g., supplies).
Community organizations
Most not-for-profit organizations are considered community organizations.
They could range from small local groups to larger agencies with branches
across the country.
Individuals establish community organizations to help with causes around
the community. Some causes that community organizations might help with
include cleaning up the community, improving neighborhoods, and
promoting recycling locally.

About Us
Islam has a centuries’ long tradition of inspiring its adherents to contribute
to humanity based on conviction in its tenets. Previous generations of
Muslims were on the forefront of contributing to medicine, philosophy,
architecture, and governance among other areas. We are an institute
aiming to rekindle this tradition.
With the rise of Islamophobia on one side, and extremism on the other,
Islam has been cast as irrational, incompatible with modern civilization, and
inherently violent. This has put Muslims in a defensive position in which
they constantly have to justify their convictions, while fighting off the natural
doubts and insecurities that arise from such a climate. In fact, Atheism and
Agnosticism is on the rise in the Muslim community at an alarming rate. As
described by Luke Savage in his article New Atheism, Old Empire:
“It is simply impossible to imagine the commercial and intellectual success
of the New Atheist project in a pre-9/11 world without both rising anti-
Muslim sentiments across Western societies or neoconservative
geopolitics.”
We aim to address relevant topics head-on with the help of the foremost
experts in this space. In addition to translating and analyzing classical
works on the subject matter, we also aim to actively participate in the
current day discourse touching on all topics that are related to establishing
conviction in the hearts and minds of Muslims, and battling the false
notions that underlie Islamophobia and extremism. The institute aims to be
the trusted source regarding these topics by creating engaging content in
various formats, including journals, papers, articles, surveys, videos,
conferences, and curriculum.
Al Hasanat Center for Islamic Research is a non-profit research initiative
that will make all of its content free and accessible. This will allow everyone
looking for answers, and those tasked with giving answers, to always have
a comprehensive resource readily available to them.

6. 6
We believe that telling our own story is the only way to counter the
narrative that has been forced upon our community.
Our Areas of Focus
We aim to address relevant topics head-on with the help of the foremost
experts in this space. Our work concentrates in the following areas:
Conviction
Since its early days, Islamic scholarship has highlighted reason-based
approaches to faith. In line with this tradition, we aim to explore both
traditional and contemporary topics on the subject matter. Research will
include topics such as the miraculous nature of the Quran, proofs of the
prophethood, God’s mercy, atheism, evolution, and other topics.
Islamophobia/Extremism
With the rise of Islamophobia on one hand and extremism on the other,
Islam has been cast as irrational, incompatible with modern civilization and
inherently violent. This has put Muslims in a defensive position in which
they constantly have to justify their convictions, while fighting off the natural
doubts and insecurities that arise from such a climate. Research in this
area will include topics such as Jihad, Shariah, gender issues, Muslim/Non-
Muslim relations, slavery and explaining controversial texts in Islam.
Contribution
Islam has a centuries long tradition of inspiring its adherents to contribute
to humanity based on conviction in its tenets. Previous Muslims were on
the forefront of contributing to medicine, philosophy, architecture, art and
governance among other areas. In our efforts to rekindle this tradition, we
will highlight presentday efforts of Muslims who have been inspired by their
faith to contribute positively to humanity.

Religious organizations promote and regulate relations between human
beings and divinities, supernatural orders, or supreme metaphysical
principles.Religious organizations typically aim to promote worship, prayer,
meditation, teaching, healing, and spiritual well-being in accordance with
authoritative texts, codes, and laws. Their distinctiveness clearly lies in, for
example, worship and doctrine, but they also have much in common with
nonreligious organizations. This article will seek to maintain a dual focus on
the distinctive and the generic. The early development of the study of
religious organization took two forms. The first analyzed types and
subtypes of religious organizations, while the second focused on their
organizational dynamics. Subsequent research has highlighted the crucial
importance of authority and leadership in shaping such features of religious
organizations as forms of polity, types of leadership roles, forms of local
groups, and patterns of recruitment and training. The article concludes with
three broad questions about the future of religious organizations.
Religious Organization
The world is filled with many different faiths. Religion is a source of
strength to many people, especially during tough times. Religion can also
be the source of friction between people of different faiths. Regardless of
the actual beliefs of the religion in question, organized religions all have
associated organizations to help them advance their goals.
Religious organization is the complex of institutionalized roles and
procedures which regulate the relations of men with the supernatural order,
however such an order may be conceived. It may involve the regulation of
religious practice and the promulgation of true, and suppression of false,
doctrine; procedures for the recruitment, education, and professional
socialization of religious specialists; the structure of authority among them;
the basis, extent, and nature of their authority over the laity and its territorial
and temporal coordination; the control of religious places, periods,

10. 10
premises,and equipment and such property and temporalities as accrue in
the establishment of this control.
The following are the characteristic features of Al Hasanat Center for
Islamic Research:
1. Voluntary Association:
A cooperative so¬ciety is a voluntary association of persons and not of
capital. Any person can join a cooperative society of his free will and can
leave it at any time. When he leaves, he can withdraw his capital from the
society. He cannot transfer his share to another person.
2. Spirit of Cooperation:
The spirit of cooperation works under the motto, ‘each for all and all for
each.’ This means that every member of a cooperative organization shall
work in the general interest of the organization as a whole and not for his
self-interest.Under cooperation,service is of supreme importance and self-
interest is of secondary importance.
3. Democratic Management:
An individual member is considered not as a capitalist but as a human
being and under cooperation, economic equality is fully ensured by a
general rule—one man one vote. Whether one contributes 50 rupees or
100 rupees as share capital, all enjoy equal rights and equal duties. A
person having only one share can even become the president of
cooperative society.
4. Capital:
Capital of a cooperative society is raised from members through share
capital. Coop-eratives are formed by relatively poorer sections of society;
share capital is usually very limited. Since it is a part of govt. policy to
encourage coopera¬tives, a cooperative society can increase its capital by
taking loans from the State and Central Coop¬erative Banks.

11. 11
7. Moral Emphasis:
A cooperative organization generally originates in the poorer section of
population; hence more emphasis is laid on the development of moral
character of the individual member.The absence of capital is compensated
by honesty, integrity and loyalty. Under cooperation,honesty is regarded as
the best security. Thus cooperationprepares a band of honest and selfless
workers for the good of humanity.
