Sharjah Ruler places Imams and Muezzins in gov’s general staff

His Highness has issued a directive that grants imams and muezzins the same benefits enjoyed by government employees. This includes promotions, various allowances, health insurance, and a work nature allowance of AED 3,000.

Additionally, His Highness the Ruler has ordered that the periodic leave for imams and muezzins be managed in such a way that they retain their accrued leave balance if they choose not to use it. In coordination with the Department of Islamic Affairs, they will receive the cash equivalent of this leave. This initiative acknowledges the important roles they play in serving the houses of God.
