Minister honours 47 graduates from Religious Institute

QNA Doha Minister of Endowments and Islamic Affairs HE Ghanem bin Shaheen Al Ghanem honoured 47 students who graduated from the Religious Institute for the 2024-2025 academic year. The ceremony was attended by Undersecretary of the ministry HE Dr Sheikh Khalid bin Mohammed bin Ghanem Al Thani, several ministry officials, and representatives of embassies and members of the diplomatic corps from the students' countries. This honouring comes within the framework of the Ministry of Endowments' strategic focus on the Religious Institute, as it is one of the most prominent institutions of religious education in the country and a source for the graduation of imams, preachers, and scholars in Qatar. The scholarship programme hosted by the Institute, under the supervision of the Department of Da'wah and Religious Guidance, is one of the most prominent educational projects serving members of the Islamic nation of various nationalities. This year, the institute received 178 scholarship students from 36 countries, with 46 percent of the students achieving outstanding results by the end of the first semester. In his speech at the ceremony, Director of the Department of Da'wah and Religious Guidance Jassim Abdullah Al Ali expressed his happiness and pride in the graduation of this batch of students who have shouldered the responsibility of knowledge and da'wah. He praised the efforts made by the ministry to provide a balanced and advanced academic and da'wah education that contributes to the preparation of distinguished academic leaders who benefit their Islamic societies, whether in Muslim-majority countries or those where Muslims constitute minorities. Al Ali highlighted the institute's scholarship programme, which he deemed a key contributor to religious education in Qatar, alongside the College of Sharia and Islamic Studies at Qatar University (QU). This programme, he said, supports the country's scientific and religious renaissance and embodies the ministry's policy of building a conscious generation that carries the message of tolerant Islam and spreads the values of moderation and balance throughout the world. The director of the department revealed that 14 outstanding graduates from the Institute received university scholarships to continue their higher education at QU, as part of a special programme for distinguished students. In a speech delivered on behalf of the graduates, student Salman Zakaria from Ghana reviewed his academic journey, which began when he joined the Institute in thanked Qatar and the ministries of endowments and education for the care provided throughout his years of study, expressing his pride in belonging to this distinguished educational institution. The ceremony featured a visual presentation documenting the students' most significant academic achievements and their participation in religious and scholarly activities. It concluded with the distribution of certificates to the graduates amid an atmosphere of joy and pride, a scene that embodied the country's ongoing commitment to supporting religious education and preparing generations capable of carrying the message of Islam and spreading the values of moderation and tolerance across the world.
