The Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai welcomed more than 640 female students at the start of the new academic year, across its community centers including Al Mizhar Islamic Cultural Center, Umm Al Sheif Islamic Cultural Center, and Nad Al Shiba Women’s Center. The students will continue their educational journey this year through unified curricula in the fields of jurisprudence, the Prophet’s biography, Quranic sciences, and the Arabic language. These programs aim to enhance both religious and linguistic knowledge, empowering women to play a greater role in building cohesive families and balanced communities.

Mrs. Sheikha Sultan Al Marri, Director of the Islamic Knowledge Programs Department, emphasized that welcoming students at the beginning of the academic year reflects the Department’s commitment to strengthening the role of women in acquiring religious and linguistic knowledge through specialized programs. She explained that these educational tracks contribute to shaping well-rounded personalities capable of building conscious families that play an active role in the nation’s progress and stability.

Al Marri added: “We always strive to provide an attractive and motivating learning environment based on mutual respect and appreciation, while encouraging interaction and positive participation. This aligns with our vision of instilling authentic Islamic values, reinforcing national identity, and building a knowledgeable and cohesive society that meets the aspirations of our wise leadership.”

The welcoming event concluded in an atmosphere of joy and positive engagement, reaffirming the vital role of women in education, cultural development, and their pivotal contribution to strengthening families and the wider Emirati community
