MWL chief discusses fatwa unity, youth guidance in London
RIYADH: The Islamic Center in London hosted a meeting between Muslim World League Secretary-General Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa and Islamic leaders from across the UK this week. The discussion focused on the need for wisdom in guiding Muslim communities, especially in the face of provocation by extremists. Speakers stressed the importance of responding with calm and restraint, following the Prophet's example of mercy and patience. Al-Issa highlighted the need for unified religious authority in issuing fatwas and public religious guidance. He announced that the MWL-affiliated Islamic Fiqh Council — a leading body in Islamic jurisprudence — would soon hold a forum at the center to discuss the jurisprudence of Muslim communities. The forum will also explore the creation of a reference framework for this jurisprudence, to be updated as needed. It will review training programs and initiatives in the UK aligned with the Charter of Makkah and propose its inclusion in Islamic education curricula. Al-Issa emphasized protecting Muslim youth from extremist ideologies, noting the family's role, the importance of balanced religious education, qualified teachers, and effective use of platforms such as sermons and lectures. He praised the British Muslim community's awareness and commitment, describing it as a positive example of Islamic values in a diverse society. The meeting included questions and feedback, with attendees expressing support for the MWL's global work. They welcomed Al-Issa's visit, especially given the current context, and appreciated his approach to addressing Islamophobia. Participants also backed the league's efforts to unify local religious authority, citing its success in other minority communities. They viewed this as a long-awaited step, and said that Al-Issa's message strengthened trust in the MWL's mission of promoting social cohesion and peaceful coexistence, values rooted in Islamic teachings.
