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.

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.
