Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs offered an Umrah trip to twenty students, under the supervision of six educational supervisors, as a gift to outstanding private school students honoured during the “Proud of You” event.

The students include those who have memorised the Holy Qur’an, and who participated in activities organised by the Private Schools and Kindergartens Department.

This took place during a ceremony held at the theatre of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, attended by Omar Al Nuaimi, Assistant Undersecretary for Private Education Affairs; Dr. Rania Mohammed, Director of the Private Schools and Kindergartens Department; Dr. Saleh Ali Al Marri, Director of the Sheikh Abdulla Bin Zaid Al Mahmoud Islamic Cultural Center at the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs; as well as the winning students, their parents, and senior officials from both sides.

The Umrah trip aims to teach students how to perform Umrah in a faith-based and educational spirit.

It also aims to instil core Islamic values such as discipline, honesty, cooperation, respect, and benevolence, and strengthen their religious identity. It also seeks to deepen pride in the biography of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), teach students the recitation, interpretation, and practical application of Surah Al-Fatihah in their daily lives, in addition to morning, evening, and travel supplications. The programme includes visits to historical sites such as Makkah Al-Mukarramah and Madinah Al-Munawwarah, linking these visits to faith-based and behavioural lessons, while also developing leadership and teamwork skills among students.
