In collaboration with the General Authority for Islamic Affairs and Endowments, the Public Relations Department at the Ministry of Interior organized a religious lecture under the slogan “Ramadan Month of Work and Worship”. The lecture held on the occasion of the Holy month of Ramadan at the Al Ittihad hall at the Ministry’s headquarters was delivered by Sheikh Omar Bin Hussein Bin Omar, one of the guests of his Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Head of State “May God protect him”.

The lecture embodies the Ministry of Interior’s keenness to enhance and disseminate religious awareness among staff members; acquaint them with religious values, and remind them of the importance of humanitarian work, good deeds and charity during this holy month.

For his part, the preacher stressed the need to dedicate the Holy month for praying, reading from the Quran and getting closer to Allah through benevolent work and payers, and other good deeds. “When the month of Ramadan comes, the Gates of Heaven are thrown open for everyone to invest in good manners and diligent work during this month”, pointed out Sheikh Omar, reciting verses of the Holy Quran and the Hadith.

Furthermore, he indicated that Ramadan is the month of patience; and fasting is one of the greatest acts of worship performed in Ramadan and the reward of patience is Paradise.

Sheikh Omar also emphasized the importance of worship in the last ten days and Laylat al-Qadr, or the Night of Power, and coming close to Allah through benevolent work, calling on people to take advantage of this holy month through good manners with public and private interests, as well as through Zakat and charity.
