Awqaf Ministry launches ‘Parent Follow-up Day' initiative at Quranic education centres
Doha
The Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs, represented by the Department of the Holy Qur'an and its Sciences within the Department of Da'wah and Religious Guidance, has launched an outstanding initiative about Parent Follow-up Day to bolster integration between the family and Quranic education centres and support the role of parents in the educational process of their children.
An Awqaf statement on Sunday highlighted that the move is devoted to specifying Sunday of every month as the time for the attendance of parents to check on their sons inside the Quranic centres across the country.
Head of Awqaf's Department of the Holy Qur'an and its Sciences, Fahad Ahmed Al Mohammed, stated that the initiative comes in implementation of the directives of HE Minister of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs Ghanem bin Shaheen Al Ghanem to reinforce constructive cooperation between homes and centres, thereby contributing to achieving the intended pedagogical objectives.
He emphasized the attendance of parents to these centres represents a catalysing support for students, as periodic attendance would likewise advance the educational process and achieve effective engagement among all parties.
Conducted on Aug. 3, 2025, the first visit featured the participation of 1,262 parents in 149 Quranic centres nationwide and included individual sessions with teachers, as well as field trips and establishing communication groups via WhatsApp to follow up on the progress of memorizing and revising the Holy Qur'an.
Accordingly, several parents appreciated this initiative, emphasizing that it fosters students' commitment to attending the memorization sessions and helps build balanced characters.
Participant students, for their part, confirmed that the attendance of their parents largely stimulates them and enhances their commitment to these memorization classes, with heads of the centres praising this step as it generates a positive impact on students and educational staff.
As such, Awqaf continues to double down on its efforts to back the Quranic education centres for both genders throughout the nation by putting out educational plans and supervising the teachers' performance.
This is in addition to holding Quranic activities with the aim of graduating an erudite generation that memorizes the Holy Qur'an and adheres to the Islamic precepts, thereby contributing to building a community that underpins Islamic values, faith, and identity.

QSCCB observes Int'l Youth Day with session on visual impairment
QNA Doha The Qatar Social and Cultural Center for Blind (QSCCB) has organised an interactive awareness session to empower youth and raise their awareness about the issues faced by persons with disabilities. This initiative targets members of QSCCB and the Kaaban Youth Center, and it is part of the celebration of the International Youth Day, observed annually on August 12. The session was presented by QSCCB member Ahmed Al Kubaisi, who provided an overview of visual impairment, its types and major causes, while also correcting common misconceptions about the condition. Al Kubaisi emphasised that losing vision does not always mean complete blindness, and that visual impairment does not prevent a person from learning or working. He also showcased key assistive technologies that support people with visual disabilities, such as screen readers, smartphone apps, Braille tools, smart glasses, and modern tech devices, which participants had the opportunity to try. The session also covered appropriate ways to interact with people with visual impairments, including introducing oneself clearly, using specific descriptions, avoiding unnecessary loud speech, informing the person of obstacles or surroundings, allowing them to hold the guide's arm, and notifying them when leaving, while highlighting behaviours to avoid. The event reaffirmed the importance of promoting social awareness and the role of youth in supporting the inclusion of visually impaired individuals in all areas of life.
