Welcome Message from the President

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

It is with profound gratitude to Allah (SWT) and a deep sense of responsibility that I warmly welcome you to the official website of the Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria (SCSN).

The Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria stands as a foremost and unifying platform dedicated to the promotion, protection, and proper understanding of Shariah as a comprehensive way of life. Since its establishment, the Council has remained steadfast in its commitment to fostering unity among Muslims, strengthening faith-based values, and providing sound, balanced, and principled guidance on religious and national matters.

In an increasingly complex and evolving society, the role of credible, knowledgeable, and responsible institutions such as the SCSN has never been more critical. The Council continues to serve as a voice of reason and conscience, engaging constructively with government, institutions, and the wider society to promote justice, equity, peaceful coexistence, and national development.

This website is designed as an important gateway to our work and vision. It provides access to our policy positions, public statements, advocacy initiatives, educational programmes, and community engagements. It also reflects our enduring efforts to uphold the values of integrity, accountability, compassion, and mutual respect that lie at the heart of Shariah.

We firmly believe that Shariah represents not only a legal framework but a holistic system that promotes moral discipline, social justice, human dignity, and the collective well-being of society. Our mission, therefore, extends beyond advocacy to building bridges of understanding, nurturing informed dialogue, and contributing meaningfully to the peace and progress of Nigeria.

As you navigate this platform, we invite you to engage with our work, benefit from our resources, and partner with us in advancing the noble ideals of truth, justice, and harmonious coexistence. Together, we can strengthen our communities and contribute to a more just, peaceful, and prosperous nation.

We pray that Allah (SWT) guides our intentions, blesses our efforts, and grants us wisdom in all our undertakings.

والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

– Dr. Bashir Aliyu Umar, OON
President, Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN)
