People in the USA can choose to have a religious court hear a case. It happen here with Orthodox Jews as well as Muslims. It’s the choice of the individuals involved. But regardless of there choice, the parties cannot go to our secular courts to have the religious court’s order enforced, unless that order is consistent with our civil and criminal laws.

I doubt that British courts will enforce any of the decrees of the Muslim courts.

That's correct. Their decisions are not enforceable in British law. They have the status in law of tribunals which the parties voluntarily choose to recognise, like the Jewish beth din.
