Ministry of Awqaf recognizes Zain for contributions to community
Recognition highlights fruitful collaboration with Grand Mosque during Ramadan
Zain was recently recognized by the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, Mosques and Cultural Affairs Divisions, to highlight the fruitful collaboration and strategic partnership between the company and the Grand Mosque of Kuwait during the Holy Month of Ramadan this year. The collaboration resulted in presenting several community programs aimed at serving worshippers and Mosque attendees throughout the Holy Month under the umbrella of the Zain Alshuhoor social campaign.
The recognition came during the special event held by the Ministry at its headquarters to celebrate success partners. In attendance were Undersecretary of the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, Dr Bader Al Mutairi, Zain Kuwait Corporate Relations Department Manager, Hamad Al Musaibeeh, along with Ministry officials and Zain’s team. The step highlighted the recent successful partnership between Zain and the Grand Mosque, where many community programs and contributions were jointly presented under the umbrella of the annual Zain Alshuhoor Ramadan community campaign.
The initiatives included daily Iftar meals at the Mosque’s Grand Hall, Zain’s first Holy Quran Recitation Competition, hospitality and transportation services at the Mosque, and Eid breakfast meals during Eid Al Fitr prayers. This year, Zain’s annual Iftar initiative to serve fasting individuals came back in its 17th year, this time in strategic partnership with the Grand Mosque of Kuwait and the Kuwait Food Bank. A total of 42,000 meals were served throughout the entire month.
Meals were served daily at the Grand Mosque’s main tent, and the initiative was directly supervised and organized by Zain’s team and Zain Alshuhoor volunteers to ensure the quality of all the meals delivered. Zain also hosted its first Holy Quran Recitation Competition in strategic partnership with the Grand Mosque. The contest aimed to encourage the community to pursue recitation of the Holy Quran and embody its values and offered prizes for the first three winners in each of the six categories.
It was supervised by a certified judges panel from the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs in collaboration with the Grand Mosque. In a step to engage its employees in its community programs and initiatives, Zain also held the fourth Holy Quran Recitation Competition for employees and their children. The competition was held at the Grand Mosque, and the first three winners in each of the six categories were awarded with cash prizes.
