As a result, our youth in particular deal with concepts that are foreign to Arab communities. In light of such events, the need for awareness programs that reinforce Islamic values has become urgent.

She lauded the support received from the Dean of College of Dawa and Religious Fundamentals, Dr. Faisal Ghazawy. Finally, she thanked the dean of university studies for inaugurating the event.
