Sheikh Sultan Al Qasimi Directs the Inclusion of All Imams and Mu’adhdhin in the General Staff of the Sharjah Government

In a move that reflects Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi’s commitment to enhancing the status of imams and mu’adhdhin in society, a directive has been issued to integrate all individuals working in the emirate’s mosques into the general staff of the Sharjah Government. This decision is part of the government’s efforts to provide a suitable work environment that ensures all rights and benefits enjoyed by government employees.

New Benefits for Imams and Mu’adhdhin

The directives include granting all imams and mu’adhdhin in mosques multiple benefits that reflect appreciation for their important roles. Imams and mu’adhdhin will benefit from promotions, bonuses, health insurance, and a work nature allowance of up to 3,000 dirhams. This improvement in the general staff of the Sharjah Government enhances their status and encourages them to provide their services in the best possible manner.

Regulation of Periodic Leave

Sheikh Sultan’s directive regarding the improvement of imams and mu’adhdhin encompasses not only their work status but also the organization of their periodic leave. This directive will ensure that they do not lose any accrued leave if they choose not to exhaust it, allowing them to benefit from it in the future. Cash allowances will also be disbursed in coordination with the Department of Islamic Affairs, adding further financial security for them.

Recognition of Efforts

This directive is a genuine recognition of the diligent efforts made by imams and mu’adhdhin. Their role in serving the houses of God is not merely a job; it is a deep commitment and a responsible duty that reflects the values of society. This support from the government is part of improving the quality of life for employees in this sector and reflects the wise vision of leadership that continually seeks to enhance the conditions for those fulfilling their duties in service to the community.

Ultimately, Sheikh Sultan Al Qasimi’s decision to integrate all imams and mu’adhdhin in the emirate’s mosques into the general staff of the Sharjah Government demonstrates the government’s commitment to strengthening this vital sector and providing ongoing support. It also represents an important step towards improving the services offered and enhancing the spirit of cooperation within the community.
