MUSCAT: The Ta’aruf event, organized by the Department of Introduction to Islam and Cultural Exchange at the Ministry of Religious Affairs, will take place on March 7 at the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre. This event aims to provide non-Muslims and new Muslims with a better understanding of Islam through engaging discussions and cultural exchanges.

In addition, the Ta’aruf event will offer insights into Islamic beliefs, practices, and values. These sessions will also clear up misconceptions about Islam. Furthermore, attendees will have the chance to explore its teachings in a respectful and inclusive environment. Non-Muslims and recent converts to Islam are encouraged to attend and learn more about the religion.

Throughout the event, participants will have the opportunity to interact with Islamic scholars. This, in turn, gives them the chance to ask questions and gain a deeper appreciation for Islamic principles. Topics covered will include Islamic history, cultural practices, and religious rituals. Moreover, the event offers a platform for people to engage with the wider Muslim community in Oman, fostering understanding and promoting intercultural dialogue.

The Ministry of Religious Affairs has emphasized that this event showcases Oman’s commitment to promoting peace, understanding, and tolerance. Through the Ta’aruf event, the Ministry aims to create a bridge of mutual respect and promote interfaith dialogue. This, therefore, aligns with Oman’s dedication to fostering global understanding.

Finally, the Ta’aruf event will take place from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on March 7. Organizers encourage early registration for those interested in attending.
