The Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD) in Dubai has marked a significant educational achievement in the first quarter of 2026 through its community centres under the Islamic Knowledge Programs Administration.

Key facilities contributing to this success include the Al Mizhar Cultural Islamic Centre, Umm Al Sheif Cultural Islamic Centre, and Nad Al Sheba Women’s Centre.

In the initial three months of 2026, these centres provided over 4,900 training hours and facilitated more than 2,830 academic lessons. Furthermore, 104 Quranic circles were held, emphasizing the commitment to advancing Islamic education, particularly for women and girls.

Regular morning and evening sessions for Quran recitations resulted in 12 completed full recitations (Khatmas), illustrating the organized and methodical approach of the tailored educational programs available for various age groups.

To enhance the quality of instruction, 14 new teaching methods were introduced, effectively improving the overall educational experience and outcomes for participants.

Community involvement was also notable, with over 500 new registration requests received. In addition to educational activities, 24 community programs were organized, amounting to a total of 137 hours dedicated to community service. These initiatives foster social connections and uphold values like cooperation and unity.

Sheikha Sultan Al Mulla, Director of the Islamic Knowledge Programs Administration, stated that these accomplishments reflect the department’s efforts to create programs that cater to the real needs of women and girls. Direct dialogue with participants has been crucial in building trust and enhancing program quality.

She further clarified that these initiatives align with the department's “Closer to the Community” strategy. This method integrates both in-person and digital learning to ensure a lasting educational impact while contributing to improved quality of life and family harmony within the community.
