Mosques to deliver a unified message emphasising loyalty to the nation.
The General Authority of Islamic Affairs, Endowments and Zakat has announced that this week’s Friday sermon across all mosques in the UAE will be delivered under the title: “Whoever betrays our nation is not one of us”.
In guidance issued to imams, the authority stressed that betrayal of one’s country is a serious moral and religious offence, rejected by sound human nature and condemned in Islamic teachings. The sermon highlights that treachery is among the gravest sins, warning against deceit, disloyalty, and actions that undermine national unity.
The sermon also warns against individuals who may appear outwardly righteous while concealing harmful intentions, including alignment with extremist agendas or involvement in suspicious activities. It stresses that such behaviour contradicts the values of faith, integrity, and social responsibility.
Addressing young people in particular, the sermon urges vigilance against misleading narratives and calls for steadfast adherence to religious principles and loyalty to the nation. It encourages citizens to stand united behind the country’s leadership and contribute positively to the country’s stability and progress.
The authority said the unified sermon reflects the UAE’s commitment to promoting moderation, safeguarding society, and reinforcing the values of loyalty, responsibility, and social cohesion.
