The Syrian Islamic Council (Arabic: المجلس الإسلامي السوري) is a Syrian moderate religious authority composed of scholars of Islamic jurisprudence. It was established in 2014 in Istanbul.[1] The council aims to unify religious efforts and provide spiritual guidance to the Syrian people, in addition to offering Islamic solutions to the country's issues and challenges.[2]

Its mission is to consolidate the Islamic project and revitalize the role of religious institutions in Syrian society. The Council seeks to shoulder the responsibilities and aspirations placed upon it, taking Syria as both the starting and ending point of its efforts. Through its religious authority, it aims to unify the Islamic stance of scholars in Syria and across the broader Sunni Muslim world, mobilizing their capacities in a coordinated manner based on moderation and centrism. It also seeks to communicate with various entities to articulate the legitimate demands of the Syrian people and garner support from global communities for the success and preservation of the Syrian Revolution.[3]
