Muslim religious leaders form National Ulama Conference of the Philippines

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Two hundred Muslim religious leaders gathered in the Second National Ulama Summit of the Philippines yesterday ratified their bylaws and formed the National Ulama Conference of the Philippines (NUCP) to serve as the vehicle for unity among thousands of Ulama in the country.

The Ulama are Muslim scholars trained in Islam and Islamic law who are the interpreters of Islam’s sciences, doctrines and laws.  The Philippine Council for Islam and Democracy (PCID) and the Magbassa Kita Foundation, Inc (MKFI) are responsible for organizing the summit, with the support of the Embassies of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.

The ulama elected 14, coming from the different sectors of the Muslim communities, to the 15-member interim board of trustees. The PCID has been given the 15th seat on the Board. (more…)

National Ulama Summit January 25, 2010 – National Ulama Conference of the Philippine (NUCP)

Monday, January 25th, 2010

The largest gathering of independent Muslim religious leaders, or ulama, will be held on January 25-29, 2010 during the 3rd  National Ulama Conference of the Philippines (NUCP) and the Regional Conference of Women Peace Advocates (Noor-us Salam, Women of Faith, Light and Peace).

The historic event is the culmination of the formation of the National Ulama Conference of the Philippine (NUCP) into the largest ulama collective in the country—a landmark event that signifies the formation of a CBCP-like conference of independent and imminent Muslim religious leaders for the Muslims in the Philippines. The initiative began 3 years ago, as part of the “Empowering the Ulama Project” implemented by the Philippine Council for Islam and Democracy and supported by the Magbassa Kita Foundation Inc, and the embassies of the United Kingdom and of Netherlands.  The program has also been supported by development organizations such as The Asia Foundation.
