A delegation from Qatar Charity handed over a donation to equip the media centre of the Islamic Society of Bosnia and Herzegovina as part of the organisation’s qualitative cultural and development programmes.
Qatar Charity officials based in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hassan Mohamed al-Nuaimi, general supervisor, and Mohamed Omar Oushan, office director, presented a donation to Dr Hussein Kavazovic, the chief scholar and head of the highest religious authority in Bosnia.
The donation also aims to spread moderate religious awareness, tolerance of the teachings of the Islamic religion, and preserving the cultural identity of Muslims in Bosnia and its neighbouring countries, and in communities in other countries.
The media centre will house the latest modern media equipment and devices for the production of television programmes and the establishment of a radio station and a print newspaper, in addition to supporting multiple interactive platforms via the Internet.
This media centre will cater to Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina and neighbouring countries, such as Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia and Montenegro, as well as the Bosnian community in several countries of Europe, the US and Australia.
It will broadcast programmes on religion, advocacy, education, and learning, as well as economics, science, culture, history, and heritage. The media centre is expected to have a positive impact on all Muslim residents of the region through facilitating access to moderate Islamic content and the correct faith education, in addition to providing entertainment and cultural programmes.
The centre, with its various media and platforms, was established to be a link between the Islamic sheikhdom in Bosnia and Herzegovina and society, where the sheikhdom works to provide the correct interpretation of Islamic rulings and their applications through direct communication with the public.
On this occasion, Kavazovic thanked the Qatar Charity delegation for the donation, which enriches Qatar Charity’s balance in providing permanent support and assistance to the projects of the Islamic sheikhdom.
The cultural and awareness projects of the Islamic sheikhdom in Bosnia are gaining great importance due to their positive impact on raising awareness and preserving Islamic identity through purposeful and sober awareness programmes that highlight the tolerance of Islam, and the possibility of its coexistence with different races and cultures in peace and harmony.
It is worth noting that Qatar Charity has completed many qualitative projects in Bosnia, most notably the ‘Orphan Care and Rehabilitation Centre’ project, which was implemented with a generous donation from His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo. Qatar Charity will work during the coming period to support several areas, such as sponsorships and sustainable development, in addition to projects on public benefit, education, reconstruction, and health.
