Feelings of llienation are felt by many Muslims, male and female
A group of concerned Muslim scholars and field workers among the Muslim community, aware of the acute sense of alienation felt by many Muslims, when it comes to solving their personal problems, met together in mid-1982, at the Central Mosque of Birmingham and decided to establish "The Islamic Shari'a Council" to be a quasi-Islamic Court. It would apply Islamic rules in what was presented to it, of the Family problems in particular and any Islamic questions in general.
The founding meeting was attended by Muslim scholars representing the major Schools of Islamic Jurisprudence, as well as the well-known and leading personalities within the Muslim Community. After discussion, dwelling in particular upon the problems facing Muslim families as a result of obtaining judgments in their favor from non-Islamic Courts in the country, but not having the sanction of the Islamic Shari'a, it was decided to establish the said Council with membership comprising those who attended, and an open invitation to other scholars who did not attend. The Council's verdicts were to be based upon rulings derived from the main four schools of thought together with other sources within the Sunni Tradition, as well as the literalist school.
In its early stages, the Council sought the guidance of the opinions of the Muslim scholars, and was satisfied that it was fulfilling an essential task in a non-Islamic society by providing the legal set-up which decides Muslim family cases in the light of Islam. There was a general agreement among Muslim scholars that it is a must, in such cases, to establish such institutions to cater for the basic Shari'a needs of the Muslim community.
