'Prevention and Safety' targets forty high-rise buildings
Campaign targets 40 towers The campaign targets 40 towers in the Emirate that are taller than 23 metres, with the goal of raising awareness about the newly issued High-Rise Building Safety Guide. The announcement was delivered at the Holy Quran Academy in Sharjah. In an exclusive statement to 'Sharjah 24,' Dr Al Quraidi noted that the guidance is intended for buildings taller than 23 metres, as such projects require specialised safety procedures that adhere to the highest international standards. The document specifies precise requirements for evacuation plans, fire prevention systems, and preventative maintenance routines, all of which are intended to protect lives and property. To improve the safety of people in high-rise buildings She went on to say that the major goal is to improve the safety of people in high-rise buildings and their general quality of life. Dr Al Quraidi stated that the Sharjah Prevention and Safety Authority will continue to monitor the towers' compliance with the requirements in collaboration with Sharjah Civil Defence Authority and SANED. This initiative contributes to the creation of a safe and sustainable living environment in Sharjah.

Joy fills Sharjah's mosques and prayer grounds on Eid Al Adha
A Greeting from Sharjah Sheikh Salem Al Doubi extended his heartfelt congratulations to the leadership of the United Arab Emirates, its people, and the entire Islamic nation on the occasion of Eid Al Adha. He prayed to Almighty God to return this blessed occasion with goodness, prosperity, and blessings, and to preserve the nation's security and well-being. A Day of Devotion and Celebration In exclusive remarks to 'Sharjah 24,' Sheikh Salem emphasised that Eid Al Adha is a day of great happiness where sincerity and closeness to God are manifested. From the early morning hours, crowds of worshippers gather at prayer grounds and mosques, reciting takbeer and tahleel, after washing themselves and adorning their finest Eid garments. Following the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), they take one route to the prayer and return by another. Sacrifice and Solidarity in Eid Traditions The Sheikh pointed out that Muslims commemorate this blessed occasion by offering sacrificial animals in emulation of the Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him). They partake in the meat, distribute it as charity, and gift it to relatives and neighbours — a profound embodiment of compassion and solidarity that the rituals of Eid cultivate. Families gather, relatives visit each other, homes overflow with joy, gifts, and expressions of gratitude to God for His countless blessings. Eid Sermon: A Message of Sincerity Sheikh Al Doubi noted that this year's Eid sermon was titled 'Our Eid: A Celebration of Sincerity," focusing on the themes of devotion and obedience. Meanwhile, pilgrims spend the most sacred day standing on the plains of Arafat, before proceeding to Muzdalifah and then circumambulating the Holy Kaaba. In this shared moment, the joy of Muslims across the world becomes complete. Days of Tashreeq: Continuing the Joy He added that the following days — the three Days of Tashreeq — remain days of eating, drinking, and remembrance of God. Muslims seize these moments with continued takbeer and tahleel, extending the celebration of Eid, maintaining family ties, and preserving the holiday as a season where joy is intertwined with worship, and mercy and unity blossom among people.

Hajj pilgrims pray on Saudi Arabia's Mount Arafat
Pilgrims prayed on Mount Arafat on Thursday during the high point of the annual hajj pilgrimage, as officials called on devotees to refrain from being outside during the hottest hours of the day. Thousands of pilgrims began to gather before dawn around the hill and the surrounding plain where the Prophet Mohammed is believed to have given his last sermon. While some arrived early to take advantage of the relatively cool morning, carrying colourful umbrellas, many pilgrims will remain for prayers and Quran recitals until the evening in the most arduous portion of the hajj. After sunset they will head to Muzdalifah, where they will gather pebbles so they can perform the symbolic "stoning of the devil". Follow more Hajj 2025 here.
