The newly launched Bangladesh Muslim Council held its inaugural event with the unveiling of a biography series of 313 Bangladeshi Islamic scholars. Addressing the event, Religious Affairs Advisor Dr. A.F.M. Khalid Hossain emphasized the need for laws rooted in the country's cultural, historical, and religious heritage. He noted that the “July Revolution” has created an opportunity for Islamic scholars to actively engage in state-building and called on them to prepare themselves to lead responsibly. “The stronger and more united the scholars are, the greater their positive impact on society,” he said.
