As part of its ongoing efforts to promote religious awareness and reinforce Islamic values in society, the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD) in Dubai has launched a series of awareness lectures for women under the theme “She Who Seizes the Ten Days Has Triumphed,” in conjunction with the 2025 Hajj season.

The lectures are delivered by Ms. Mona Tarish Al-Ali, Senior Religious Guide at IACAD’s Religious Education and Guidance Division. The sessions are held in person at various mosques across Dubai, in accordance with the schedules published on IACAD’s official platforms.

The series covers a wide range of topics highlighting the virtues of the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. Among the featured titles are: “Irreplaceable Days,” “From Your Heart Begins the Blessing,” “Steps Toward Paradise,” “Indeed, My Lord Has Made My Stay Good,” and “Your Prayer Niche in the Ten Days.” These spiritually rich themes resonate deeply with the essence of the season.

In addition, several topics are offered remotely, including: “From Talbiyah to Forgiveness,” “Ibrahim (Peace Be Upon Him) Taught Me,” “Zamzam is Patience, and Sa’i is Obedience,” “Every Day is Arafah… If the Intention is True,” and “Hagar (Peace Be Upon Her) Taught Me.”

This initiative aligns with IACAD’s strategic vision to remain close to the community through quality programs that foster religious awareness and deepen the spiritual connection to Hajj in the hearts of Muslim women. It also reflects the leadership’s commitment to reinforcing religious identity and enhancing the spiritual and cultural development of society.

This lecture series presents a valuable opportunity for women to embrace the blessings of these sacred days, equipping themselves with knowledge and righteous deeds during a time when divine mercy descends and prayers are answered.
