The Islamic Center in London recently played host to a significant meeting between the Muslim World League (MWL) Secretary-General Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa and various Islamic leaders from across the United Kingdom.
The gathering centered around the need for wisdom in guiding Muslim communities, particularly in response to provocations by radical elements.
Key speakers emphasized the importance of responding with calm and restraint, adhering to the Prophet’s example of mercy and patience.
Al-Issa addressed the necessity for a unified religious authority in issuing fatwas and public religious guidance.
In this regard, he announced that the MWL-affiliated Islamic Fiqh Council will organize a forum at the center.
The primary objectives of the forum include discussing the jurisprudence of Muslim communities and creating a reference framework to be regularly updated as needed.
This initiative also aims to review existing training programs in the UK aligned with the Charter of Makkah, with recommendations for inclusion in Islamic education curricula.
A significant aspect of Al-Issa's discussion was focused on safeguarding Muslim youth from harmful ideologies.
He underscored the role of the family, the importance of balanced religious education, and the need for qualified teachers.
Additionally, he highlighted the effective use of platforms such as sermons and lectures in guiding young Muslims.
Dr. Al-Issa commended the British Muslim community's awareness and commitment to Islamic values within a diverse society.
The meeting allowed for questions and feedback, with attendees expressing their support for the MWL’s global initiatives.
They welcomed Dr. Al-Issa’s visit, particularly considering current social and political contexts, and appreciated his approach to combating Islamophobia.
Participants also voiced their backing of the MWL's efforts in unifying local religious authority.
This move was seen as a long-awaited step towards establishing cohesion among minority communities.
Attendees acknowledged that Dr. Al-Issa’s message strengthened their trust in the MWL's mission of promoting social harmony and peaceful coexistence, values deeply rooted in Islamic teachings.
