Properties of NGO are classified within 4 main items including: Non-profit-making, non-political, non-governmental and volunteer oriented and its mission is filling probable gaps between government, citizens and transferring goals of society to public authorities within specific framework. Although “realistically” speaking and under influence of some policies, there are some differences between “current” status of Iranian mosques with functions of NGO and in relation to the feature of being “Non-governmental”, there is no significant compatibility; from “Theoretical” point of view there is maximum compatibility and proximity between “noble” functions of mosque with that of NGO. Findings of this descriptive-analytical research showed that it can and should be considered negligent in considering the mosque as an NGO, so that by reforming the laws, regulations and macro-cultural policies in this field and accompanying the mosque with all the main components of the NGO, the strengthening and developing of the "civil society" can be achieved.

Abstract: management of Public endowment affairs without a trustee or an unknown one and private endowment have been delegated to endowment and charity affairs organization under certain conditions. Supervisor is an authority that the settler appoints for supervising trustee’s affairs and accurately implementing the deed for an endowment. In this review, we criticized maximum supervision by the government agent (endowment organization) in the field of endowment. We also criticized withdrawal of observer’s fee from incomes of disputed endowments and proponents’ reasons for government supervision that have relied on concepts including “charity affairs”, Muslims interests”, “public interests” , and “government dignities” . Doing so, we investigated statute law and practices of endowment organization and opinions of general board of administrative justice court. Hence, considering concepts including “respecting settlers’ intents”, “guarantee the independence of the endowment”, “delegating most of management and supervision to citizens” in line with “reducing role of government controlling endowments” and “reinforcing civil society” will be led to this conclusion that related rules and regulations are at least not tolerant to interpretation of receiving observer’s fee from endowments income by the endowment and charity affairs organization.
