UAE Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan Grants Long-Term Golden Visas to Veteran Imams and Muezzin

In a heartfelt gesture of appreciation, Dubai is set to bestow Golden Visas upon mosques’ imams, preachers, muezzins, muftis, and religious researchers who have dedicated 20 years of unwavering service to the city. This prestigious recognition comes as a token of gratitude for their significant contributions to society and their tireless efforts in promoting the values of tolerance and compassion inherent in Islam.

The directive to issue Golden Visas to these esteemed religious figures was issued by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, reflecting his deep appreciation for their enduring commitment and dedication.

In addition to the Golden Visas, as part of an annual tradition, these revered individuals will also receive a financial reward during Eid al-Fitr, further underscoring Sheikh Hamdan’s commitment to honoring those who have played a pivotal role in fostering harmony and unity within the community.

This initiative follows Sheikh Hamdan’s recent mandate to increase the salaries of imams and muezzins serving in mosques under Dubai’s Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department, demonstrating his unwavering support for the religious community and his recognition of their invaluable contributions to the fabric of Dubai society.

As Dubai continues to champion inclusivity, tolerance, and respect for all faiths, initiatives such as these serve as a testament to the city’s unwavering commitment to celebrating diversity and honoring those who have dedicated their lives to serving others.
