The Grand Mosque of Rashidiya in Dubai hosted 6,000 worshippers during the third and fourth day of Ramadan praying Taraweeh with Sheikh Saad bin Saeed Al-Ghamidi, Imam of the Prophet’s Mosque in Saudi Arabia. Taraweeh is an additional prayer at night after Isha prayer during the holy month.
Al-Ghamidi was invited by Ramadan Dubai, an event which runs during the duration of Ramadan. It is organized by the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department under the patronage of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Ramadan Dubai aims to strengthen the state’s status as a leading model for tolerance and peaceful coexistence between different nationalities and religions.
Al-Ghamidi’s invitation was part of the Rashid bin Mohammed Ramadan Forum, an important activity of Ramadan Dubai.
Al-Ghamidi praised the effectiveness of Ramadan Dubai, pointing out that the UAE is always returning to positive and constructive change. “In the Year of Tolerance, we are seeing the pursuit of activities and programs that promote the spirit of tolerance among all members of society, which is a true reflection of the tolerant UAE, a land called home by over 200 nationalities living in harmony,” he said. The Imam prayed for the rulers and its people for grace, security, and safety.
