The Religious Missions Program at the Grand Mosque: Promoting Islamic awareness and moderation
As part of ongoing efforts to enrich the religious experience of pilgrims to the Two Holy Mosques, the General Presidency for Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque continues to implement its specialized educational program, "The Essentials of Religion," within the Grand Mosque. This initiative is part of a comprehensive package of awareness and guidance programs aimed at instilling sound Islamic understanding and disseminating beneficial knowledge among pilgrims, worshippers, and visitors to the Holy Mosque.
Scientific diversity and comprehensiveness in presentation
The program is distinguished by its rich selection of specialized lectures covering essential aspects of a Muslim's life and worship. These lessons address diverse topics including Islamic jurisprudence, explanations of the Prophetic traditions, detailed rulings on Hajj rituals, principles of jurisprudence, exegesis, the Prophet's biography, and matters of monotheism and creed. This diversity aims to contribute effectively to a deeper understanding of the true Islamic faith and to promote Islamic values based on moderation and balance, far removed from extremism or negligence.
The Grand Mosque: A beacon of knowledge throughout history
This program is of particular importance as it is held in the holiest place on earth. Throughout Islamic history, the Grand Mosque has been not only a place of worship but also an open university of knowledge and a beacon of cultural and intellectual enlightenment. Since the dawn of Islam, the study circles in the Holy Mosque of Mecca have been a destination for students of knowledge from all corners of the globe. Today, the "Religious Missions" program represents a modern extension of this great legacy, benefiting from the institutional organization and the generous support provided by the wise leadership in serving the Two Holy Mosques and their visitors.
A select group of scholars and a tangible impact
The Presidency affirmed in its statement that the lectures and scholarly lessons are presented by a distinguished group of eminent scholars and specialists in Islamic sciences, ensuring the accuracy of the information and the reliability of the presentation. This careful selection of lecturers is a fundamental pillar for guaranteeing that correct and well-documented Islamic information reaches the beneficiaries, thus helping to strengthen their thinking and correct misconceptions.
Enriching the journey of the pilgrims
These initiatives aim to have a direct and positive impact on the experience of visitors and pilgrims, helping them to perform their religious duties with ease, tranquility, and in accordance with Islamic law, through a correct understanding of the rituals and rulings of the faith. The program also reflects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's commitment to caring for the guests of God not only in terms of organization and services, but also in terms of spiritual and intellectual development.
The Presidency called on all those wishing to benefit from these lessons and follow the details of the program and its dates to visit its official accounts on various social media platforms, where schedules, venues and the latest updates are published periodically to ensure that the benefit reaches the largest possible segment.
