In a generous move recognizing the dedicated service of veteran imams, muezzins, and religious scholars, Dubai’s Crown Prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has announced a groundbreaking initiative.
Under this initiative, imams, preachers, muezzins, Muftis, and religious scholars who have devoted over two decades to serving the community will be granted coveted golden visas. This special visa status acknowledges their profound impact in fostering religious harmony and spiritual guidance within Dubai.
Moreover, as Eid Al Fitr approaches, Sheikh Hamdan has directed the provision of financial rewards to these esteemed individuals. This gesture of appreciation celebrates their tireless efforts in sharing the teachings of Islam and promoting the values of tolerance and understanding.
The decision underscores Dubai’s commitment to honoring and supporting those who play a vital role in nurturing the spiritual well-being of society. It reflects the emirate’s dedication to fostering inclusivity, respect, and gratitude for individuals of all faiths.
As the global Muslim community prepares to celebrate Eid Al Fitr, Sheikh Hamdan’s initiative serves as a reminder of the importance of recognizing and uplifting those who selflessly dedicate themselves to serving others and embodying the principles of compassion, empathy, and unity.
