The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs has launched the 2026 edition of its annual summer programme, “Our Summer, Our Way” (Sayfuna Ala Kaifina 2026), with more than 1,000 students taking part across 10 Da’wah centres nationwide.
The programme is part of the ministry’s efforts to help students make productive use of the summer holiday by strengthening Islamic values, developing life skills and nurturing young talent.
Organised by the Department of Da’wah and Religious Guidance, the programme runs from July 5 to July 30, 2026, and targets boys aged 10 to 15 years.
The initiative provides an educational environment that combines learning and recreation, while promoting religious awareness, positive behaviour and personal development.
Activities are held from Sunday to Wednesday, between 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM. The daily four-hour programme includes educational, spiritual, recreational and interactive activities.
Students receive instruction in Quranic concepts and Islamic values, practical worship training, life skills workshops, interactive competitions, sports activities, educational trips and incentive-based awards designed to encourage creativity and excellence.
This year’s edition introduces three specialised skills courses in public speaking, Islamic chanting, known as Inshad, and the call to prayer, known as Adhan.
The ministry said the new additions aim to identify and develop promising talents, while strengthening students’ communication skills, self-confidence, artistic appreciation and mastery of Islamic practices.
Head of the Religious Guidance Section Muath Yousef Al Qasimi said the summer programme continues to offer an integrated package of educational, religious and skills-based activities tailored to the developmental needs of young participants.
He said the curriculum focuses on Quranic teachings, particularly lessons from Surahs An-Nur and Al-Hujurat, alongside values such as honouring parents, observing mosque etiquette, respecting elders, managing time effectively, practising good manners and using social media responsibly.
Al Qasimi added that students also receive practical instruction on acts of worship, including ablution and other essential Islamic practices, through simplified and interactive teaching methods that reinforce correct application of religious teachings.
The programme also includes educational and recreational field trips organised in cooperation with several national institutions, including the Lekhwiya Internal Security Force and the ministry’s Scholarship Department.
These trips aim to broaden students’ knowledge and strengthen their connection with national institutions.
At the Mohammed bin Hamad Al Mana Mosque Center in Al Waab, more than 120 students have enrolled, reflecting strong confidence among parents in the ministry’s summer initiatives.
