CIQ stands against irresponsible reporting that risks unfairly associating Muslim institutions and faith leaders with acts they have no established connection to.

Allegations must not be treated as facts, and guilt by association must never replace evidence. We call for responsible journalism, fairness and accountability in reporting, and an end to narratives that unfairly cast suspicion on Muslim communities.

ANIC Statement on Calls to Violence

The Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) has strongly condemned any call for violence or harm against civilians, religious communities or any Australian.

ANIC is currently working to independently verify recent reports regarding alleged remarks by a Melbourne-based preacher and has not made any findings about the individual or the context until the original material can be properly reviewed.

ANIC’s position is clear: violence, hatred and incitement have no place in our communities.

At the same time, the actions or statements of any individual must not be used to collectively blame or condemn Australian Muslims or the wider Muslim community.

Australian Muslims remain committed to contributing positively to Australia’s peace, safety and social harmony, and to standing alongside all Australians in protecting our communities.

Please refer to the full statement below.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un

The Council of Imams Queensland (CIQ) extends its deepest condolences following the sudden and tragic passing of Hafith Usman Khan on 24 September 2026.

A beloved son and husband, a Hafith of the Qur’an, a teacher, and a respected member of our community. His dedication to the Qur’an and service to our community will be deeply remembered.

Our thoughts and duas are with his family, students, colleagues, friends and all those mourning his loss.

May Allah SWT forgive him, have mercy upon him and grant him Jannatul Firdaus.

Please keep Hafith Usman Khan and his family in your duas.

Over 40 Imams from across Australian states and territories gathered today, Saturday, 8 August 2026, in Sydney for the Australian National Imams Council’s Annual National Coordination Meeting of State Imams Councils.

The meeting brought together members of the ANIC Executive Committee, the executive committees of State and Territory Imams Councils, and representatives of the Australian Fatwa Council. Representatives attended from NSW, Victoria, Queensland, the ACT, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia.

The national gathering provided an important opportunity to strengthen unity, coordination and collaboration among Australia’s Islamic religious leadership. Discussions focused on:

• Strengthening the roles and responsibilities of State Imams Councils
• Community engagement and national representation
• Improving communication with Imams, mosques and Islamic organisations
• The Centre for Arbitration and Resolution of Disputes
• Cooperation and resource-sharing between State Imams Councils
• Preserving Islamic identity and supporting young Australian Muslims
• Addressing Islamophobia and challenges facing the Muslim community
• Strengthening national religious leadership and community unity
• Preparations for the 9th AAM Summit 2026 and the 19th ANIC Annual General Meeting in Brisbane

The unity of Australia’s Imams is essential to providing strong, consistent and principled religious leadership for the Australian Muslim community. By working together, sharing knowledge and coordinating their efforts, Imams are better equipped to respond to emerging challenges, provide clear guidance and strengthen confidence in Islamic institutions.

The Imams reaffirmed their commitment to working together as one national body, supporting Imams and Islamic institutions, serving the Australian Muslim community, and contributing positively to the advancement of the Muslim community in Australia and wider Australian society.

Held annually, this national coordination meeting reinforces ANIC’s national leadership and brings together Imams serving in diverse roles at both the state and national levels.

ANIC thanks all Imams and representatives who travelled from across Australia for their attendance, valuable contributions and continued service to the community.
