Doha, Qatar - The Mosques Department at Qatar's Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs has recognized 12 imams for their commendable work in implementing the "Riyad al-Salihin" initiative, which seeks to promote the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) and enhance the mosques' educational and moral roles in society.
Out of over 700 imams who took part in the initiative, these 12 were chosen for their dedication to its scientific and educational programs and their efforts to convey the teachings and meanings of the book "Riyad al-Salihin" to mosque visitors. The commendation ceremony occurred during a meeting between Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Abdulaziz Al Thani, Director of the Mosques Department, and the honored imams.
The initiative is part of the department's ongoing incentive program to acknowledge outstanding performance, promote healthy competition among imams, and enhance the quality of educational and religious programs in mosques. The "Riyad al-Salihin" initiative aims to deepen the community's understanding of this collection of hadith compiled by Imam Al Nawawi and promote the faith-based, educational, and ethical values within its teachings.
More than 700 imams have participated in delivering the initiative's monthly lesson programs, demonstrating the wide reach of the initiative and the mosques' imams' engagement with its various educational activities. The selection of the 12 honorees was based on their commitment to the initiative's standards and their efforts to effectively communicate the hadiths and their meanings to worshippers and various segments of society.
The department's recognition program also aims to monitor the initiative's implementation and encourage imams to share successful practices in delivering lessons, Friday sermons, and hadith memorization activities. The "Riyad Al-Salihin" initiative operates through five complementary educational and scientific tracks, including daily lessons from the book, extended weekly lessons, monthly recitations, and Friday sermons based on the book's themes and content.
