With this gesture, the emirate's leadership seeks to acknowledge the imams' and muezzins' service to the community and contribution to fostering a humanitarian spirit.
Imams are religious leaders who guide the faithful towards living by the principles of Islam. Muezzins are officials who proclaim the call to prayer.
The salary increase — which was also ordered by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai — also recognises the dedication of preachers in overseeing religious affairs and upholding constructive societal principles.
