Indonesian Ulama Council

Indonesian Ulema Council (Indonesian: Majelis Ulama Indonesia, Arabic: مجلس العلماء الإندونيسي, abbreviated MUI) is Indonesia's top body of Islamic scholars'. MUI was founded in Jakarta on 26 July 1975 during the New Order era. The council consists of many Indonesian Muslim groups including Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Muhammadiyah, Indonesia Institute of Islamic Dawah (LDII), and smaller groups like Syarikat Islam, Perti, Al Washliyah, Mathla'ul Anwar, GUPPI, PTDI, DMI, and Al Ittihadiyyah.

The Ahlul Bait Indonesia (Shi'ite) and Jemaat Ahmadiyyah Indonesia (Ahmadiyya) were not accepted as members. In 2005, the MUI released a fatwa to prohibit the Ahmadiyya as followers of a deviant sect of Islam and lobbied the President to ban the expelled religious sect.
