As part of its #Year of Giving initiatives, the Department of Endowment Development at Awqaf and Minors Affairs Foundation, AMAF, has organised a Ramadan majlis under the theme, ‘Endowment and the Year of Giving’.

Dr. Ahmed Al Haddad, Grand Mufti of Dubai, was the guest of honour at the majlis of Sheikh Mohammed bin Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum in Dubai’s Nad Al Sheba area.
