Sharjah allocates 644 mosques to avoid crowding during Eid Al Adha prayers
Sharjah Islamic Affairs (SIA) has announced the completion of its preparations to welcome worshippers for Eid Al-Adha prayers. The department has designated 644 mosques and prayer areas across the emirate's cities and suburbs, including 454 in Sharjah City and Al Hamriyah, 104 in the Central Region, and 86 in the Eastern Region.
SIA affirmed that all Eid prayer sites are fully prepared, with comprehensive cleaning, preventive maintenance, carpeting, the installation of cooling and sound systems, and the organisation of outdoor areas to accommodate large numbers of worshippers and their families.
The authority added that it is coordinating with the Sharjah Police General Command, Sharjah Municipality, and other relevant entities to ensure the safety and comfort of worshippers during the Eid prayers.
In response to community requests, SIA has implemented several development projects to enhance the prayer environments at Al Dhaid Mosque, Al Zubair Mosque, and Al Burair Al Shamali Mosque. These enhancements included levelling the grounds and installing interlocking tiles to facilitate movement and improve comfort, especially for the elderly and people of determination.
Additionally, SIA has designated several mosques and prayer areas for non-Arabic speakers, including those offering sermons in Urdu, Malayalam, Tamil, and English, and arranged live interpretation of the Eid sermon for the hearing-impaired at Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal Mosque in the Al Jazat area.
The department stated the Eid prayer timings as follows:
Sharjah City and Al Hamriyah: 5:44 AM
Al Dhaid and Al Bataeh: 5:42 AM
Al Madam and Mleiha: 5:43 AM
Eastern Region: 5:41 AM
Abdullah Khalifa Ya'rouf Al Suwaidi, Chairman of SIA, noted that the department is organising a series of lessons and lectures in the emirate's mosques on the virtues of the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, the rulings and conditions of sacrifice, and Eid traditions. These activities are part of SIA's awareness programme, aimed at enhancing religious knowledge among the emirate's diverse communities.
