Friday Sermon & "Minbar Al Jami'"

Friday is the most salient day in Islam. It is more significant and beneficial than any other day of the week, with which God Al-Mighty associates great virtues. The Arabic word for Friday is (Jumu'ah), which means 'to congregate'. On this important day, the Imam stands on the Minbar (pulpit) to deliver a sermon to worshippers before their prayers, highlighting the supreme noble values and the notion of tolerance which is a cardinal principle of Islam.

To ensure that the message is transmitted on a broad scale to all segments of society of all ages and groups, the Centre displays translations of the sermon in English, Urdu, and Sign Language through special screens in both male and female prayer halls.

To this end, the Centre also launched a mini-series entitled "Minbar Al Jami' published weekly after the Friday prayers via the Centre's account on Instagram. The series sheds light on the core lessons and values delivered by the Imam from Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque's Minbar, presented by the Centre's Cultural Tour Specialists in a simple and articulate manner.
