It is for the people who have been serving for 20 years in Dubai. Not to mention, they have been granted by his highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who is the Crown Prince of Dubai. Here’s all about it!

Appreciating the effort for their long commitment and pivotal roles in society, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum recently granted golden residency to religious figures.

Previously He Increased The Salaries Of Imams & Muezzins In Dubai
It’s worth noting that this development comes after the Crown Prince earlier ordered an increase in the salaries of imams and muezzins in Dubai in the month of March. As such, the hike applies to those serving in mosques that are operated under Dubai’s Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department. And if you happen to be someone who is still unaware, imams are religious leaders who guide the faithful towards living by the principles of Islam while muezzins are officials who proclaim the call to prayer.
At this point, it’s worth revealing that the initiative is an indication of the appreciation from the president towards the imams of mosques and muezzins, who have constantly upheld a conducive environment for worship and serenity.
