In August, the Al Farooq Omar Bin Al
Khattab Mosque and Centre (AFMC)
partnered with Abu Dhabi Islamic
Bank (ADIB) to create an interactive
educational event to teach the rituals
of the Islamic pilgrimage, Hajj. Entitled
“Accepted Hajj” (Al Hajj Al Mabrour) the
event attracted Hajj organizers, tourists
and schools from 26 August to 29
September 2016. Sheikh Dr. Fares Al
Mustafa, Religious and Cultural Advisor
at the AFMC also gave Hajj lectures
after Friday prayers from 26 August and
2 September 2016.
The event utilized the latest technology
to bring the experience closer to
visitors and help them visualize the
rituals of Hajj and immerse themselves
in the spirituality of the practice. This
included live streaming of the lectures
on the AFMC YouTube Channel and a
hologram to explain the journey of Hajj
in English and Arabic.
Abdul Salam Al Marzooqi, General
Manager at AFMC said, “We are
pleased to initiate this event for the first
time at AFMC. Our aim is to teach the
rituals of Hajj and supply our visitors
with the correct interpretation of the
Islamic culture. This practical training will
demonstrate to all the visitors the proper
way to perform Hajj and Umrah, and will
contribute in understanding the concept
of Hajj unity.”
Sheikh Dr. Fares commented, “The
event will highlight the importance of
Hajj - one of the five pillars of Islam.
Every year, millions of Muslims come
together from different parts of the world
to perform this holy pilgrimage.”
Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. Hundreds of guests visited the
interactive educational exhibit from 26 August to 2 September 2016
