The United Arab Emirates has announced that school students must now perform the Dhuhr prayer in congregation during school hours. The decision aims to strengthen Islamic values among the younger generation.
According to education authorities, all schools will allocate specific time and space for the daily Dhuhr prayer, ensuring students gather and pray collectively. Teachers and school staff will oversee arrangements to maintain discipline and participation.
The initiative reflects the UAE’s ongoing efforts to integrate faith-based practices into education, while also fostering unity and spiritual growth among students.
