Dubai imams and muezzins will receive salary increases to reflect the important role they play in society.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai and Sheikh Hamdan, Crown Prince of Dubai have issued directives for salary increases for Imams and muezzins serving in mosques operating under the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai in recognition of their contribution to advancing the message of humanitarianism, service to the community, and social values.
The gesture reflects Sheikh Hamdan’s commitment to empowering mosque imams in their role of promoting the inclusive message of Islam and fostering ethical and positive social attitudes.
The move also recognises the dedication of the preachers in overseeing religious affairs and upholding constructive societal principles.
