There are awareness-raising and educational activities, programs, and events aimed at attracting worshipers during the holy month, as well as providing all means to achieve the desired goals. The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, represented by the mosque sector, has prepared several Ramadan centers in which the schedule for Taraweeh prayer and night prayers has been arranged in all governorates. Also, reading, memorizing, and Quranic competitions will be held by the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs’ mosque sector. For the Quran recitation project, some mosques were designated and had some memorizers and reciters to recite the Quran and teach it to those who wanted to learn, from the time after the afternoon prayer until before the sunset prayer and after the dawn prayer for an hour for whoever wanted to read the Qur’an correctly. There are sessions for memorizing the Qur’an with the narration of Hafs or other narrations. The mosque sector is fulfilling its mission with nine departments working in full swing to prepare and maintain mosques regularly in the various governorates of the country.
