Sharjah Police implements plan for Qiyam prayer on 27th Ramadan

Sharjah Police has put in place a comprehensive plan for managing the Qiyam prayer on the 27th night of Ramadan at Sheikh Saud Al Qasimi Mosque, aiming to ensure the safety and smooth movement of worshippers. The plan was developed to ensure ease of entry and exit, while guaranteeing a safe environment for all attendees. It was carried out in cooperation with several police departments, the Sharjah Volunteer Centre, and in coordination with the Department of Awqaf. Additionally, six external prayer areas were designated to accommodate the large number of worshippers.

Coordinated efforts to ensure smooth operations

Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed Rabea Al-Ketbi, Director of the Police Facilities Security Branch at Sharjah Police, explained in a special statement to Sharjah 24 that the plan also involved volunteers from the Sharjah Volunteer Centre, who assisted police officers in managing the worshippers and guiding them inside and outside the mosque. Coordination with the Department of Awqaf was key to ensuring smooth cooperation among all the relevant parties.

Ensuring safety and spiritual order

The six external prayer areas were designated to ease congestion, with worshippers directed to these areas if the main courtyards were full. This arrangement ensured the safety of attendees, avoided overcrowding, and allowed for a more organised and spiritually fulfilling prayer experience. Lieutenant Colonel Al-Ketbi highlighted that Sharjah Police consistently aims to implement effective security and organisational strategies to ensure the safety and convenience of individuals in large gatherings. He further emphasised that such coordination reflects the police’s commitment to delivering a well-organised and secure experience that builds community trust and meets the needs of the public with high preparedness and discipline.
