ABU DHABI, 25th March, 2025 (WAM) - This year, the Muslim Council of Elders' Ramadan convoys included several female envoys for the first time, aimed at enhancing communication bridges with Muslim women worldwide. They assist in understanding religious matters, provide support to correct religious misconceptions, and foster Islamic values.

Additionally, they promote enlightened, moderate thought and encourage positive integration into the communities in which they live. This initiative has been greatly appreciated and received positive reactions from women in these communities, who have expressed their gratitude for the efforts of the Muslim Council of Elders, led by His Eminence Prof. Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, and its supportive stance on women's rights.

Additionally, lectures covered topics such as the jurisprudence of worship, personal status, and psychological and spiritual support, among others.
