SIAD concludes pilgrim awareness programmes

These programmes aimed to prepare pilgrims and equip them with the necessary religious knowledge to perform Hajj in the best possible manner.

This initiative reflects the department’s commitment to providing guidance and religious support to the pilgrims.

The programmes featured a diverse range of activities, most notably the comprehensive educational seminar “Hajj Step by Step,” which detailed Hajj and explained the related religious rulings in a simplified manner tailored to meet the needs of various groups of pilgrims.

Additionally, the department organised home visits to senior pilgrims, during which they were provided with essential Hajj materials and guidance, ensuring their readiness to perform the pilgrimage.

Farewell and Support at the Airport

The department concluded its extensive awareness programmes for UAE pilgrims by bidding farewell to those departing for the holy lands through Sharjah International Airport, where their inquiries were addressed and a religious kit was distributed. This kit included booklets, guide manuals, and a collection of supplications to assist them throughout their Hajj.

Ongoing Dhul-Hijjah Campaign in Mosques

In conjunction with the arrival of the month of Dhul-Hijjah, the department is currently implementing an intensive awareness campaign across all mosques in the Emirate.

The campaign includes lessons and lectures on the virtues of the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, the merit of fasting on the Day of Arafah, and the religious and health-related rulings and conditions of Udhiyah.

These efforts are part of the department’s ongoing mission to enhance religious awareness and promote Islamic values within the community.

Commitment to Religious Guidance

The department affirmed that its awareness programmes stem from its commitment to serving the pilgrims, ensuring a safe and Sharia-compliant journey, and enhancing the public’s religious awareness during these blessed days. Through its mosque-based lessons and lectures, the department seeks to instill the virtues of these great days and clarify the rulings of sacrifice in a way that benefits the entire community.
