Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan establishes ulema councils in seven provinces

In a move aimed at bolstering Islamic governance and promoting coordination in government affairs, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has issued a decree establishing Ulema councils in seven provinces.
These councils, which were officially inaugurated, mark a significant development in the country's efforts to consult religious scholars in shaping its governance.
The provinces in which Ulema councils have been set up include Laghman, Sar-e-Pol, Ghor, Daikundi, Maidan Wardak, Bamyan, and Nuristan. The establishment of these councils was announced by the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Zabihullah Mujahid, who issued a statement underscoring their purpose and significance.
According to Mujahid, the primary objective of these Ulema councils is to "improve and develop Islamic governance by consulting religious scholars." The involvement of religious scholars is seen as a crucial step in ensuring that the governance structure aligns with Islamic principles.
The decree emphasizes that officials and members of the Ulema councils in the aforementioned provinces have a responsibility to coordinate the affairs of their regions in accordance with their designated roles and in adherence to Sharia law. Moreover, provincial officials are obligated to implement the advice and guidance provided by these Ulema councils.
This initiative represents a concerted effort by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to strengthen governance at the provincial level and enhance coordination among government institutions. It reflects the government's commitment to incorporating religious scholars' wisdom and expertise in the governance process, highlighting the importance of religious guidance in shaping the nation's future.
