Indonesia Ulema Council (MUI)

The Indonesia Ulema Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia, MUI) is a prominent organization composed of Islamic scholars and religious leaders that provides guidance on Islamic teachings, laws, and ethical matters in Indonesia. Established to ensure that Islamic practices and policies align with broader societal values, the MUI issues fatwas (religious rulings), advises the government, and promotes unity among Muslims. It plays a key role in shaping religious, social, and cultural issues, balancing traditional Islamic principles with Indonesia’s diverse and pluralistic society.
