Ta’aruf event at Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre (OCEC) on Friday.
The Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs (MoARA), represented by the Department of Islamic Information and Cultural Exchange at Ifta Office, held the 7th edition of the Ta’aruf event, giving insights to the religion to non-believers at the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre (OCEC) on Friday
‘Ta’aruf’ that translates as ‘Know Islam’, being held every year during the holy month, opens up doors of wisdom about the religion and the belief to the new reverts to Islam and people from other faiths. It hosts people who want to know more of the religion, its applicability in the modern world, and its stance in events that affect humans as well as other creatures globally. The idea behind the evening of believers and non-believers is to shed more light on the principles of Islam at a time when wrong conceptions, misunderstanding about Islam and Islamophobia persist among some segments of the society.
'Ta'aruf, an exclusive event to let the non-Muslims and new Muslims know Islam more is held under the auspices of the Department of Introduction to Islam and Cultural Exchange at the ministry and will be a window to those who want to know about Islam with all its true instructions to mankind,' Hamed al Badi, representative of the ministry told the Observer.
Over 600 people above the age of 15 years comprising new reverts to Islam and people from other faiths who wanted to know more about the religion made use of the session by asking questions and clarifying their doubts pertaining to their faiths.
