Doha: In a continued effort to meet the spiritual and educational needs of Qatar’s diverse expatriate communities, the Sheikh Abdulla Bin Zaid Al Mahmoud Islamic Cultural Center has launched a series of weekly lectures in Urdu at its Labour City branch.

These programmes attract dozens of participants each week, particularly from the Urdu-speaking community.

The Urdu-language programme, held at the Labour City Mosque, focuses on essential Islamic knowledge under the theme: “What Every Muslim Must Know.”

The sessions cover the fundamentals of Islamic belief (aqeedah), worship (ibadah), behaviour, and ethics — offering a holistic view of the ideal Muslim character.

The programme is particularly aimed at Muslims who were raised in Islamic environments and are thus expected to be familiar with individual religious obligations that shape both their relationship with God and their social conduct.

The Center’s outreach efforts are tailored to address the pressing needs of specific linguistic and cultural groups, offering accurate guidance on Islamic teachings in an accessible and engaging format.

These weekly sessions aim to deepen understanding of Islamic values and practices while helping attendees lead more purposeful and spiritually informed lives.

Through its Labour City branch, the Center offers services similar to those available at its main headquarters, reflecting a commitment to accessibility and community service.

The local branch ensures that the growing population of workers and residents in Labour City have consistent and convenient access to quality religious education and guidance.

The success of the initiative is underscored by the high turnout and positive reception among the participating communities. Attendees consistently highlight the relevance of the topics discussed, the clarity of presentation, and the expertise of the preachers delivering the sessions.

The center remains dedicated to its mission of promoting authentic Islamic understanding, social harmony, and ethical development across Qatar’s multicultural landscape.
