DUBAI: The UAE authorities have launched a significant initiative allowing non-Arab expatriates to listen to Friday sermons in their native languages.
Sermons will now be delivered in five languages—Urdu, Pashto, Malayalam, Tamil, and English—enabling Pakistani expatriates to engage more deeply with their faith through Urdu and Pashto sermons.
This decision addresses the challenges many non-Arab residents face in understanding Arabic sermons, particularly within the UAE’s diverse community, which includes a large number of Pakistanis. By introducing these language options, the authorities aim to ensure everyone can comprehend and appreciate the teachings of Islam.
The move reflects a commitment to inclusivity and community cohesion. Multilingual imams will be recruited to effectively convey Islamic teachings, enhancing the spiritual experience for all worshippers in their preferred languages.
Many Pakistani expatriates have expressed enthusiasm for this development, recognising it as an opportunity to connect more meaningfully with their faith. This initiative emphasises understanding Islamic teachings rather than mere participation in rituals, marking a crucial step for expatriates seeking to deepen their knowledge and practice of Islam.
