Edited sentence: Abdel Aziem Al-Afifi was the Grand Mufti of Australia from March–July 2018, dying in office on 11 July 2018 only 4 months into his tenure.Another priority Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohammed values in his leadership is community harmony, stating in 2013 “morals and ethics are a universal language”, and he attributes Islamophobia in the media as a significant challenge to the achievement of this goal.Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohammed bases his fatwas upon two foundations; the verdict issues should adhere to both religious and state laws and satisfy the individual questioner such that they are not tempted to seek fatwas elsewhere.During the Prophet Muhammad’s lifetime (571-632 AD), some of the earliest followers of Islam could ask their questions to the Prophet directly.Following his death, this role had to be passed on to Muhammad’s most trusted companions, and in doing so they became the original muftis.Mufti’s gained recognition following the Prophet Muhammad’s death and it is expected that each successor will act honourably by his teachings.Nominated by the Australian National Imams Council (ANIC),  the current Grand Mufti of Australia is Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohammed, whose role lasted from 2011-2018, yet following the unfortunate death of his successor, Abdel Aziem Al-Afifi, he has resumed his former role.The process of issuing fatwas (ifta), and the role of a mufti had spread to Muslim and non-Muslim countries by the 8th century AD
