Quick Glance: Dubai: Sheikh Hamdan's New Initiative Allows Young Boys to Become Imams
- Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and a huge supporter of the project, announced the launch of the 'Imam Al Farij' initiative on Monday, following the success of the Muezzin Al Farij campaign.
- Ahead of Eid Al Fitr, the Crown Prince granted Eidiya (usually money gifts) to all the young muezzins, whom he described as 'beautiful echoes of our society'.
- The uplifting, innocent voices of the youth will soon guide the faithful in prayer, with the introduction of 'Imam Al Farij'. The goal is to instil Islamic and Emirati values in the youth and strengthen connections 'between families and mosques'.
- Details on how children can register for the new initiative are still pending announcement.
