Bahrain's Islamic Council Condemns Gaza Starvation Tactics and Calls for Ceasefire
The Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs held its 29th regular session of the fifth term today, Tuesday, chaired by Shaikh Abdulrahman bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Khalifa, the Council's Chairman. At the start of the meeting, the Council praised the unwavering royal support for mosques and Islamic endowments across Bahrain. His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa has continuously cared for the construction, maintenance, and allocation of land for mosques and endowments in every city and village. The Council also appreciated the government, led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for its continued efforts in this regard. The Council emphasized that this support reflects Bahrain's deep belief in the mosque's vital role in Muslim life, as a place to promote values and reinforce social unity. It also commended the generosity of Bahraini philanthropists, who actively contribute to endowment projects and mosque development. The Council reviewed updates on its plans to enhance mosque services, encourage charitable endowments (waqf), and support ongoing mosque construction projects. Members reiterated that endowments are among the most rewarding charitable acts, benefiting society through continuous good deeds and social solidarity. On regional developments, the Council strongly condemned Israel's ongoing violations against holy sites and international laws, and its policies that endanger security and peace. It denounced the starvation tactics targeting the people of Gaza, which have claimed the lives of many innocent civilians, including the elderly, women, and children. The Council called for an urgent and responsible international stance to protect civilians, ensure the rapid flow of humanitarian aid, lift the blockade on Gaza, and implement an immediate ceasefire. It also welcomed the efforts of Saudi Arabia to secure international recognition for an independent Palestinian state, affirming that the Palestinian cause remains central to the hearts of all Muslims. In addition, the Council reviewed the conclusion of the sixth session of the 'Tafsir Councils' program, led by Dr. Khalid bin Saad Al-Mutrafi, former professor of Quranic studies at Qassim University. The sessions, held at the Ahmed Al-Fateh Islamic Center from June 27 to 30, brought together over 290 participants, including Quran teachers and students of Islamic studies. Over the course of six sessions, 227 lessons were recorded, covering interpretations from Al-Fatiha to Al-Ma'idah, which have been uploaded to the Quran Teachers Institute's YouTube channel. The Council expressed deep appreciation for this effort and prayed for the successful completion of the program to cover the entire Quran. The session concluded with the review of correspondence and requests, with the necessary actions taken.

MP calls for return of traditional Mukhtar system to settle local disputes
Reviving Bahrain's traditional Mukhtar system (local community mediator) would ease the strain on the justice system by sorting out minor disputes informally, MP Jalal Kadhem has said. Kadhem urged the government to reintroduce the Mukhtars legally under the Governorates Law, suggesting the system could reduce caseloads on the courts by settling disagreements amicably within neighbourhoods. 'Many cases reaching official channels today are quite minor and could be handled perfectly well by a Mukhtar,' he said. 'It saves official resources and builds trust in community-driven solutions.' The Mukhtar once played a strong role in Bahraini neighbourhoods, mediating in disputes, assisting locals with paperwork, and acting as a link to government bodies. Problems Kadhem said the return of Mukhtars would help communities identify problems early and deal with them quietly. 'Historically, the Mukhtar system succeeded in keeping communities together,' he said. 'Restoring it would mend family divisions and restore traditional social bonds.' He noted the Cabinet had previously backed the system in 2011 as a way to support local governors and maintain public order. Social shift According to Kadhem, current social shifts and rising family disputes mean that reviving it has become urgent. 'The Mukhtar helps maintain Bahraini customs and traditions,' he said. 'They can defuse family disagreements and calm tensions without involving the courts.' Kadhem also criticised reliance on social media to air family grievances, suggesting it usually inflames tensions rather than resolving them. 'Social media thrives on controversy, not calm,' he warned. 'Problems are best handled discreetly by trusted community figures.' Kadhem concluded by saying the reintroduction of Mukhtars across Bahrain's villages and towns matched the leadership's vision of community collaboration and would prevent minor issues from growing into serious crises.
