MAKKAH: The Muslim World League has launched a new digital reference platform for Islamic studies named Minhaj.
The MWL’s Secretary-General Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa presented the app at a ceremony in Makkah on Wednesday.
The inauguration was attended by representatives of Islamic bodies and organizations.
During the launch, Al-Issa explained that the platform includes an international Shariah-based framework developed over many years by senior jurists and experts.
Minhaj has “high institutional credibility” that counters the “contradiction and inconsistency” found in some religious programs, said Al-Issa.
Minhaj received official approval from the Islamic Fiqh Council on April 22, 2024, he added.
Minhaj offers a wide suite of interactive digital services in several languages, filling a long-standing gap.
The attendees at the ceremony included Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti Sheikh Dr. Saleh bin Fawzan Al-Fawzan, Council of Senior Scholars’ Secretary-General Dr. Fahd bin Saad Al-Majed, and the Grand Mosque’s Imam and Khateeb Sheikh Dr. Saleh bin Abdullah bin Humaid.
Also in attendance was Algeria Supreme Islamic Council Chairman Sheikh Dr. Mabrouk Ali Mohamed Zaid Al-Khair, and Indonesian Shura Council Chairman Ahmad Muzani.
