Dr. Hassan Al-Saghir, Assistant Secretary-General of the Islamic Research Academy, delivers the Friday sermon from Al-Azhar Mosque, and the Qur’an is recited by reciter Sheikh Mahmoud Al-Toukhi.
The Ministry of Endowments announced that the topic of today’s Friday sermon is the creation of minds and its impact on human development, and it is the unified sermon for all mosques in the Republic, except for Al-Azhar Mosque, because it is affiliated with the Sheikhdom of Al-Azhar, and the topic of the unified sermon does not apply to it.
For its part, the Ministry of Endowments stressed that imams must adhere to the topic of the sermon in text or content at the very least, and that the time of the sermon should not exceed 15 minutes, so that it should be between 10 minutes and 15 minutes for the first and second sermons together as a maximum, while emphasizing that eloquence is conciseness.
She stressed that it is better for the preacher to end his sermon while people are longing for more than for him to prolong it and get bored, and there is plenty of room in lessons, seminars, and intellectual forums.
In a related context, the Ministry of Endowments opened 30 new mosques today, Friday, the 11th of Jumada al-Akhira 1446, corresponding to December 13, 2024, in various governorates, 14 of which were for replacement and renovation, and 16 for maintenance and development.
