MUI's role

MUI's role

From Republika

The Indonesian Council of Ulemas (MUI) management has been occupied by some figures whose capabilities are beyond doubt, bringing some fresh air for Muslims.

The role of MUI becomes highly essential in an atmosphere of ghiroh, where people have a developed a good appetite for learning about their religion.

Muslims in general have a particularly limited understanding of fiqih (Islamic law), let alone in contemporary matters.

We hope that, in the future, the MUI would be more proactive by issuing recommendations or rulings regarding things which can bring negative impact to the society, like pornography, drugs and liquor, setting off firecrackers before religious holidays, wearing scanty clothing, including celebration of Valentine's day etc.
