Religious Missions Program at the Grand Mosque: Details of the Scientific Lessons
The General Presidency for Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque continues its distinguished efforts to enrich the religious experience of visitors through the ongoing implementation of its outstanding educational program, "The Essentials of Religion," within the Grand Mosque. This initiative is part of a comprehensive strategy and a series of awareness campaigns aimed at instilling sound Islamic understanding and disseminating beneficial knowledge among pilgrims and worshippers.
Comprehensiveness of scientific approach and diversity of knowledge
The program features a rich and comprehensive selection of specialized lectures, carefully designed to meet the intellectual needs of Muslims. The lessons cover a wide range of topics, including various branches of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), explanations of hadith, detailed rulings on Hajj rituals, principles of jurisprudence, Quranic exegesis (tafsir), the Prophet's biography (sirah), and matters of monotheism (tawhid). This diversity aims to build a solid knowledge base for the student, contributing to a deeper and more accurate understanding of Islam.
The Grand Mosque: An Islamic University Throughout History
This program is not a fleeting event, but rather an extension of the historical and cultural role of the Grand Mosque as a beacon of knowledge and learning since the dawn of Islam. Throughout the ages, the courtyards of the Holy Mosque in Mecca have served as an open university, attracting students of knowledge from far and wide, where circles of remembrance and scholarly gatherings produced generations of jurists and hadith scholars. The "Religious Matters" program aims to revive this great legacy with a modern, systematic approach that meets the demands of our time and the needs of those seeking knowledge.
Promoting moderation and global impact
This program holds immense importance that extends far beyond the local sphere, given the sacred place of the Two Holy Mosques in the hearts of Muslims and the influx of visitors from all corners of the earth. By offering authentic Islamic knowledge taught by a select group of eminent scholars and dignitaries, the Kingdom contributes to disseminating a balanced religious discourse that promotes the values of moderation and combats extremism, fanaticism, and misguided ideologies. Those who receive sound Islamic education within the precincts of the Holy Kaaba return to their countries as ambassadors of the tolerant values of Islam, thus amplifying the positive impact of these lessons on an international level.
Call to take advantage of digital platforms
In its commitment to expanding access to the program, the Presidency of Religious Affairs invites those interested in learning more about the program and lesson schedules to visit its official social media accounts. The Presidency provides continuously updated schedules, allowing everyone the opportunity to plan their attendance at these blessed scholarly gatherings or follow their outcomes, thus leveraging technology to serve the cause of Islamic outreach and scholarship.
