Initiative to Acquaint Non-Muslim Residents and Visitors to the UAE with Vital Information on the Holy Month
Dubai: 3 September, 2009 - Arab Media Group, the largest media group in the UAE, today announced the launch of a website dedicated to the Holy Month of Ramadan as part of its cultural policy to provide key insights into Ramadan.
An English-only website, www.halaramadan.com aims to be a reference point for both Muslims and non-Muslims, as well as a charitable and social guide where Expatriate residents and visitors to the UAE can access detailed explanations on Islamic culture and tradition.
On the spiritual level, the website hosts readings from the Holy Quran, and prayers from renown muezzins. In addition, there is also a religious inquiry section answered by two Grand Sheikhs, Ali Meshael and Hassan Al Ebaid.
On a social level, the website will serve as a link between readers and the events happening in the UAE during the Holy Month. It also includes a segment where readers can post new ideas for Iftar meals as well as their own impressions of Ramadan.
The website additionally provides philanthropists with the names and numbers of charitable foundations for offering contributions to the needy during the Holy Month.
AMG's initiative to launch the website comes out of its philosophy to offer products and services that cater to the requirements of the UAE's diverse population.
AMG owns a wide array of media properties, including three television channels; eight radio stations under Arabian Radio Network (ARN); Awraq Publishing; Done Events, and Shoof Advertising. It also comprises Tawseel, an independent distribution company, and Masar, a printing house.
