Dubai, 6 March / WAM / The Department of Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities in Dubai honored 20 winners as part of the “Al Freej Muezzin Challenge” initiative, as part of its community initiatives during the holy month of Ramadan, in recognition of their excellence in performing the call to prayer and enabling them to raise it in neighborhood mosques throughout the holy month, in a step that embodies the department’s keenness to discover emerging talents, nurture them, and consolidate the presence of Islamic rituals in the minds of young people and their daily behavior.
