Doha: The Sheikh Abdullah bin Zaid Al Mahmoud
Islamic Cultural Centre at the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs organised
a nine-day educational Umrah trip for 15 Qatari students from private schools,
combining religious activities with educational programmes aimed at
strengthening Islamic identity, instilling moral values and developing a sense
of responsibility among young people. The trip, held from October 23 to 31,
2026, covered Madinah, Makkah and Taif, with the participation of six
supervisors.
The programme included performing Umrah,
offering prayers at the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet's Mosque in
Madinah, and visiting the Rawdah Al Sharifah and Quba Mosque, alongside several
historical and Islamic landmarks. The visits gave students an opportunity to
learn about key events in the Prophet's biography and Islamic history while
experiencing important religious sites firsthand.
The educational component featured 13 lessons
and field-based learning sessions covering topics such as gratitude for blessings,
Islamic ethics, the importance of maintaining prayers, organising daily life
according to Islamic principles and lessons from the Prophet's biography. The
trip also featured sports and recreational activities aimed at fostering
friendship, cooperation and teamwork, and a concluding workshop introduced
students to the centre's mission.
At the end of the programme, participating students were honoured, with special recognition for outstanding participants, while supervisors were also recognised for their efforts. Students and parents expressed satisfaction with the programme, and participating schools commended the centre's arrangements. The initiative aligns with the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs' strategic direction of promoting the message of Islam through thought, worship and conduct.
