“Many problems of people have been solved by the councils, and they should continue to pay attention to the solution of the people’s dilemmas and pay more attention to their responsibilities in this regard and the responsibilities of scholars do not end until the day of resurrection.”

“Today, with the help of Allah (SWT), an Islamic system is established, if the scholars do not fulfill their responsibility properly; their burden of responsibility before Allah will be very heavy,” he told the participants.

“The religious scholars have also provided important advice on establishing lasting relations between the Islamic Emirate and the people, solving people’s problems, bringing reforms in provincial institutions and further development,” Mujahid concluded.
