Sharjah 24: The Sharjah Fish Resources Authority (SFRA), in cooperation with the Department of Islamic Affairs, organised a religious lecture titled “Ramadan: Virtues and Responsibilities”, delivered by preacher Abdullah Al Mashjareen. Ali Ahmed Abu Ghazin, the Authority's Chairman, attended the session along with several staff members.

In his remarks, the preacher spoke about what Ramadan means in practical terms. He encouraged those present to use the month well — to pray more, to give more, and to pay closer attention to their conduct. He also touched on patience, self-restraint and looking out for others, noting that these qualities should not end with the month but continue in everyday life. These principles, he noted, are not confined to the month itself but should carry through to a person’s conduct at work and within the wider community.

Abu Ghazin said the lecture formed part of the Authority’s wider efforts to nurture ethical awareness within the workplace and to encourage a spirit of respect and accountability inspired by Ramadan. He added that fostering such values helps create a more positive and cohesive working environment.

The lecture forms part of a wider Ramadan programme arranged by the authority, bringing staff together in a setting that allows time for reflection and shared conversation throughout the month.
