UAE President: Imams and Muezzins Granted 50% Monthly Allowance Boost
The President of the State, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has initiated a substantial program aimed at improving the well-being of mosque employees.
This program involves granting a monthly financial supplement equal to half of the base salary to all mosque workers nationwide, encompassing imams and muezzins associated with the General Authority for Islamic Affairs and Endowments.
Dr. Omar Habtoor Al-Darai, the head of the General Authority for Islamic Affairs and Endowments, emphasized that this bonus, made possible through the follow-up and support of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President of the State, Deputy Prime Minister, and Head of the Presidential Office, will be automatically disbursed along with the workers' monthly salary.
This initiative reflects the deep appreciation of His Highness the President for the dedication and service of mosque workers, particularly the imams and muezzins who diligently serve the houses of God Almighty. Their commitment contributes significantly to creating an atmosphere of worship and serenity for mosquegoers, adhering to the highest standards of quality and excellence in their duties.
Dr. Al-Darai expressed profound gratitude and appreciation to both His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan for their unwavering support and interest in the well-being of mosque workers. Their proactive approach to providing support to the General Authority for Islamic Affairs and Endowments enables the organization to effectively carry out its religious duties and community missions.
This initiative underscores the government's commitment to social justice and equity, ensuring that those who contribute to the religious sector are recognized and rewarded for their efforts. By acknowledging the vital role of mosque workers and implementing measures to improve their welfare, the government demonstrates its dedication to upholding the dignity and well-being of all citizens and residents.
Through such initiatives, the UAE continues to set an example of compassionate leadership and proactive governance, prioritizing the welfare of its people and fostering a sense of inclusivity and support within society.
