Grand Mosque launches Ramadan plan for women

MAKKAH: The Women’s Affairs Agency at the Presidency of Religious Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque has launched its Ramadan enrichment plan at the Grand Mosque in Makkah.

The plan includes six main tracks and 24 initiatives. It aims to enrich female worshippers’ experiences, enhance Shariah and behavioral awareness, empower women, and improve religious services while upholding the sanctity of the site.

The six tracks are: awareness and guidance; scholarly and guidance affairs; enrichment and volunteering; women’s empowerment; public relations and communication; and development and quality.

The awareness and guidance track intensifies field presence in high-density areas to provide Shariah guidance, answer questions, correct worship misconceptions, and distribute multilingual materials.

The scholarly affairs track offers lessons, enrichment talks, and programs that strengthen devotional knowledge and promote moderate values.

The enrichment and volunteering track expands female volunteer participation in organizational and service roles, improving efficiency and field support.

The women’s empowerment track develops the professional and cognitive skills of female staff and prepares qualified women to serve at the two sites to a high standard.

The public relations and communication track strengthens engagement with female worshippers and relevant entities, ensuring integrated services and smooth experiences inside the Grand Mosque.

The development and quality track monitors performance and improves operations to elevate service standards.

The initiatives aim for a lasting religious and educational impact, improving the Ramadan experience for female worshippers and supporting an integrated, high-quality service model.
