The Sheikh Abdulla Bin Zaid Al Mahmoud Islamic Cultural Centre (Bin Zaid), a Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs affiliate, concluded its Arabic language teaching skills development course, which targeted 15 teachers from Tatarstan's Islamic schools.
Under the patronage of HE the Minister of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs Ghanem bin Shaheen al-Ghanim, a closing ceremony was held at Bin Zaid Centre's headquarters Sunday, which reflected the deep cultural and religious ties between Qatar and Tatarstan.
Part of the ministry's ongoing efforts to promote the Arabic language and strengthen Islamic culture globally, the course aimed to train teachers and enhance their linguistic and educational skills, along with their Islamic knowledge. It ran from July 6 to Aug 3.
In a speech delivered on behalf of Bin Zaid Centre Director Dr Saleh Ali al-Marri, his assistant Sultan Saad al-Badr said that the course aligns with Qatar’s vision and the Awqaf Ministry's mission to support the Arabic language and foster cultural connections with the Islamic world. He noted that this programme is part of a series of Bin Zaid Centre's international initiatives carried out in countries such as Russia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In addition to its academic component, the programme featured cultural visits, scholarly gatherings, and field tours to Qatar’s Islamic and heritage landmarks, deepening participants' understanding of Islamic culture.
The closing ceremony included a video presentation about the course, as well as a speech delivered by one of the course's participants on behalf of himself and his colleagues, expressing their gratitude to Qatar's government and people, for the care and attention they received during the programme.
At the end of the event, participants were honoured and received their certificates, in the presence of Assistant Undersecretary for Islamic Affairs Khalid Shaheen al-Ghanim, in addition to Dr al-Marri.
