The Indian Muslim community faces a paradox, marked by the presence of religious leaders without a clear path forward. The article identifies a lack of guidance, particularly in matters of faith, as numerous Ulema offer conflicting fatwas, stemming from a flawed Ifta methodology. Tracing the historical evolution of fatwa issuance, the 19th-century shift in India, influenced by the East India Company's trade-focused policies, led to an abundance of independent Ulema. This article explores the historical evolution of Ifta in Islam, with a focus on India. It reviews the transition to formal fatwa institutions, compares practices across regions, and proposes centralizing fatwa authority through a high central council in India, offering recommendations for reform. The absence of a centralized authority for fatwa issuance in India results in a chaotic scenario.To address this, the author proposes a structured solution: establishing a high central council of diverse Ulema and intellectuals. This council would delegate responsibilities for religious and social issues to ensure uniformity in fatwa decisions nationally. However, the article underscores that councils alone are ineffective without legal enforcement authority. This article will show: 1) Abundance of Guidance and Contradictory Fatwas; 2) Evolution of Fatwa Issuance in Islamic History; 3) Current State of Fatwa Issuance and Recommendations for Reform. Additionally, it advocates reevaluating the concepts of 'Dar al-Islam' and 'Dar al-Harb' in the context of India's identity. The author suggests a Parliament-recognized Council to issue fatwas, aligning with democratic principles and reflecting shared ownership among India's diverse Muslim population.

This research aims to analyze the problem of facility availability in achieving successful PAI learning objectives. This research uses qualitative methods and a narrative inquiry approach where data is collected through discussions and interviews. The data collected was analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through reduction, display, and verification stages. The findings from this research will examine the problem of facility availability in achieving PAI learning objectives. For this reason, in this article, we will present what needs to be discussed regarding the problem of the availability of facilities in achieving the success of PAI learning objectives. The first is the role of learning facilities in supporting PAI learning objectives, the second is overcoming the constraints of limited facilities in the PAI learning process, and the third is overcoming the physical limitations of PAI learning facilities. The problem of the availability of learning facilities is one obstacle that can hinder achieving Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning objectives. Limited or inadequate facilities, such as narrow classrooms, limited multimedia equipment, or libraries with minimal collections, can affect the effectiveness of PAI learning. The unavailability of adequate facilities can reduce students' interest and motivation in understanding and deepening PAI material, hinder interaction between teachers and students, and reduce the overall quality of learning. Therefore, increasing the availability of quality learning facilities is an important step to achieving PAI learning goals.
