steps:
|
|
- headline: Open the majlis
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The host opens the majlis at an agreed time; all are welcome without
|
|
appointment, in keeping with the practice's accessibility.
|
|
- headline: Receive attendees
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The host greets each attendee and offers hospitality — typically
|
|
coffee and dates — establishing a relationship of welcome.
|
|
- headline: Hear the matters
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Attendees raise matters of concern, whether personal disputes,
|
|
community issues, or requests of the host. The host listens to each in
|
|
turn.
|
|
- headline: Respond and consult
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The host responds, offers counsel, or refers the matter to those with
|
|
the relevant authority, consulting those present as appropriate.
|
|
- headline: Close with thanks
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The majlis closes when all matters are heard; attendees depart with
|
|
thanks, leaving the relationship intact for the next gathering.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
Community members access decision-makers directly; matters are heard and
|
|
addressed within a relationship of mutual respect.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Accessibility is the heart of the majlis. If the host becomes hard to
|
|
reach, the form is lost. Hospitality is not decoration — it signals the
|
|
equality of guest and host. |
